Re: [DRE-maint] Lenny release team summary (important! read this!)
Hi!
Another update. We should finish our release tasks this weekend
by a big mail to debian-release.

The summary (information gathered from QA report, PTS, BTS):

| libdb4.4-ruby 0.6.2-1 0.6.5
Michael Schutte is working on it. The libdb-ruby is already on 0.6.5 in
sid, not in testing just yet. These source pakages should be removed and
libdb-ruby's libdbX.Y-ruby package should provide for a transition.
Status of this work? Anyone?
Done! Also the breaking reverse depends (gonzui) have been taken
care of.
| NEW and incoming (1)
| libcairo-ruby S #487204 pending
This bug, severity serious, has been fixed in 1.6.3. However, 1.5.1
is in Lenny. I worked for months on the new upstream. I'd really like
to have 1.6.3 in Lenny. If we cannot get the exeception, then we have
a 1.5.1+bugfix in the branches.
The 1.6.3 upstream is in Sid now. A release block exception should
be requested.
Ok, we decided to go with 1.5.1-1+lenny1 which contains a specific
fix for this RC bug and no more. It's in testing-proposed-updates.
| Ready for upload (1)
| libgd-rubyI #472438
svn-released:pending
All fixed and ready. Except it segfaults on amd64! I would appreciate some
help here, because we need to have this version in Lenny IMO.
Still need help here.
Still need help!
| Work in progress (2)
| libgems-ruby#403407 wontfix
| #485739
| #448639
| #405789
| #466189
All normal or wishlist bugs. Though, a few seem important to me, but ok.
Two questions.
1. RubyGems 1.2.0 is not in Lenny, I think it should be? Or not?
If so, we need an exception.
2. The libgems-ruby package doesn't seem to contain a 'rubygems' dummy
package to depend on 'rubygems1.8'. Is this not a RC bug?
More bugreports were filed, mostly related to (2). This needs to
be addressed. I am sure it is a RC bug now (grave - #495320).
These bugs do not occur in the testing version of libgems-ruby (Lenny
also does not contain the reworked rubygems packages, just 1.1.1-1.
There seems to be an agreement to keep it as it is, because new upstream
(1.2.0, containing the reworked pkg structure) is too big a difference
in upstream any.
The rev. depends are currently fixed in Sid, but not broken in Lenny either
before it was before the rework.
| liblocale-ruby I? #470798
This bug should be severity important. Antonio and I agree that the
easiest solution would be to have it removed from Lenny and really solve
it well for Lenny +1. Note that liblocale-ruby{,1.8} have no
reverse depends.
The release team should be asked to remove it for Lenny.
Still needs to happen, yes.
| libxtemplate-ruby1.8 I #472430
Gotta work on this and straighten it out. Not much work though.
Handled by Gunnar and solved in Sid. A release block exception
should be requested.
Indeed.
| ruby-gnome2 I #493063
A recent important bug, haven't investigated it. May be inreproducible.
More grave/important bugs were filed! One of them is another
objects creation during garbage collection phase problem.
Sjoerd suggested that he has a few patches for this. These should be
applied and tested. Afterwards a release exception block should be
requested.
The RC bug has been fixed in 0.17.0~rc1-4, which is in Sid.
What about #493063?

Anyone? In theory, this is no problem; I checked all rdeps and found only gonzui to be struck by an API incompatibility. In practice, the transition is blocked by the fact that the hppa buildds currently do not build ruby1.9 packages, and I’m unable to provide a hand-built deb (in the absence of such hardware). Just uploading a new revision which drops the -ruby1.9 binary package might be the easiest solution here, but then, ruby1.9 users will have no way of accessing Berkeley databases in Lenny. Hi, Please do as if hppa wasn't there, and ask the release team to force the package to testing when it's built everywhere except hppa. I just talked to a release team member, and they might decide to exclude hppa from lenny.

Finally, I have noticed there are a few packages of our that should get
a release block exception, but I haven't created a script to determine
which of our packages have a newer version in Sid w.r.t. Lenny. If
someone could do this and check if we need to request exceptions for
them (because they fix severity important or RC bugs), I would be
grateful.
I haven’t written a script either, but rather scanned our QA overview
page manually. These packages need freeze exceptions to fix RC or
important (*) bugs:
| libcairo-ruby 487204
ruby1.9/hppa again, but we’ll force it in then (see Lucas’ mail).
| libgemplugin-ruby 493227
| libgems-ruby493309 [new upstream release]
| libxml-ruby 485738* [new upstream release]
These two won’t get approved by the release team (huge debdiffs). I
suppose this means backporting changes and uploading to t-p-u, which
should be easy for libgems-ruby, but more complex for libxml-ruby.
| libxtemplate-ruby1.8472430*
| mongrel 491807*
If I understand [1] correctly, mongrel, libgems-ruby, libgemplugin-ruby,
and shoes (not maintained by us) need to go in together. Or are there
better interpretations?
And libxml-ruby too. sid version closes an important bug with a new
upstream release - I would prefer the version in sid to be released in
Lenny rather than create a patch for lenny version.
