[Bug 244670] Re: [hardy] Request of update of aMule to 2.2.1 final release

2008-08-27 Thread Fabio Pedretti
This bug refers to update amule in Ubuntu 8.04, not in intrepid, because
the current SVN version is obsolete and don't work with other ed2k
software.

Also it was decided to update to 2.2.2 which fixes some security
problems in the protocol.

** Changed in: amule (Ubuntu)
   Status: Fix Released => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: amule
  
  Hi all! :D
  
  The current version of aMule in Ubuntu 8.04 is not a stable version
  (2.2.0~svn20080218-0ubuntu4, it is a svn snapshot). Yet at the time was
  more stable than 2.1.3 so it was included.
  
- Now it has published the final version 2.2.1 that can be considered stable 
(at least more than a snapshot svn)
+ Now it has published the final version 2.2.2 that can be considered stable 
(at least more than a snapshot svn)

  The main reasons (ARE NOT ALL. I continued looking for specific errors) why I 
am requesting that the upgrade program are as follows:
  
  * High importance:
+ 
+ -> Version 2.2.2 has fixes to defy routing attacks
  
  -> The extended version of the Kademlia network, Kad2, wasn't complete
  in the svn ubuntu has. That was Bad (tm), to the extent of damaging the
  network, especially when dealing with firewalled users, but also when
  indexing files >4GB. that's serious, from the network perspective. (from
  Kry, aMule dev)
  
  -> Also the new network code reinforces the security of the network
  about attacks to its nodes, and it's important not to have old clients
  around. (from Kry, aMule dev)
  
  -> In the connection process amulegui exchanges some information with
  the target, including some 'protocol version'. If the client and server
  don't agree on this number the connection is rejected. The number
  interchanged is different in the SVN version. In the function
  ExternalConn::Authenticate it states that
  
// For release versions, we don't want to allow connections from any
  arbitrary SVN client.
  
  It seems that a SVN version gui cannot communicate with a 'release'
  version daemon. (LP: #206648)
  
  * Medium importance:
  
  -> It solves many problems of stability of svn that caused unexpected falls.
  + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amule/+bug/230015/comments/3
  + Also (LP: #230015) (LP: #213586) (LP: #207178) 
  
  * Low importance:
  
  -> Copy ED2K link to clipboard works strange (LP: #244670)
  -> aMule makes bad hashlinks (ed2k://) (LP: #94231)
  -> amule have by default konqueror browser in ubuntu (LP: #209810)
  -> Shared files priority don't get updated on amulegui
  -> 100% of CPU used by amuleweb
  -> broken log view
  -> disable upnp in preferences if library loading fails 
  
  Possible bugs to be solved:
  
  (LP: #234422)
  
  Old reasons (Not so Disabled):
  
* This release could be considered a bugfix release since most of the new 
features of aMule 2.2.1 are already included in the latest svn. Indeed! Some 
features are incomplete in the svn snapshot
* Version 2.2.1, to be an official launch, can be reported hypothetical 
errors in the program. A snapshot is svn, from the standpoint of developers, a 
lot of provisional code and that is no longer present at the launch stable.
* Ubuntu 8.04 is a LTS release so it will be in use at least 3 years for 
desktops. I do not think it good maintain a snapshot svn for 3 years since "svn 
snapshot" is not synonymous of stability.
* At least in the forum of aMule have been reported numerous problems with 
the svn snapshot where developers can only advise compile a stable version or 
an svn latest snapshot. The end user should avoid the process of compiling 
whenever possible.
   
  Some of these problems are in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amule/+bug/230015/comments/3
  
  And these are just one example (if I am put a full list would be too
  large). Such is the problem with this svn snapshot that aMule devs are
  already tired of Ubuntu.

  Discussion here: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15317.0
  
  They blame the Ubuntu patches in wxGTK and crypto + + packages. But in
  my opinion, Ubuntu users reports of bugs never stopped and was in this
  svn when the devs are tired.
  
  I do not say that 2.2.1 is a "panacea" but at least is a stable version.
  I am using self since he left and it seems to be more stable than
  version repositories

It appears that the version check only prints the availability of the
new version in the logfile, so this is harmless and should be leaved.

In the meantime, amule 2.2.2 was released (which include changes to defy
routing attacks), but it's not yet in debian/intrepid. Changelog:

2008-07-11 Thread Fabio Pedretti
Festor, I tried your amule package from the PPA. It works well, but I
want to report a little thing, in case this will be backported to
Ubuntu, don't know if it was present also in the official Ubuntu
version. The check to search new versions during startup should be
disabled and the option should be greyed out, since the update/upgrade
process should be managed by Ubuntu and not amule. In Ubuntu's Firefox
this check is also disabled and the option is greyed out.

2008-07-02 Thread Kry
This is the thing: the hint I gave Festor about the upstream release is
unrelated to regression testing or similar. It is actually a new
security problem that needs to be patched - upstream is waiting for a
concurrent eMule release (or their beta) before releasing a new version.
Releasing 2.2.1, or keeping the current one would keep the same
vulnerability that would have to be patched.

It can be easily applied as a patch over this release instead if that's
what you prefer - it's been out for a month with no important reports,
and I can probably package a couple of important patches (well tested
ones) from this last month. But I think this duplicated effort can
easily be avoided by waiting till our actual release.

You tell me what you prefer, really.

Yes.  But this highlights why we don't like complete new upstream updates.  
I really would like to know how I can be confident regression testing is 
well done and complete.

NEWS!!...

I received an e-mail of upstream:

"Hey, it's best not to upload the 2.2.1, and put it on hold waiting for
2.2.2, which will be out next week as much as possible.

Believe me, is a serious reason. You can put in upstream bug that you
have been asked to wait for this new version until next week by a
security patch that is not yet available."

Can you wait a few more days?

It is not easy to separate between a svn bugs and the final, but I can
say that many people who updated the end had no problems with the svn

[Bug 244670] Re: [hardy] Request of update of aMule to 2.2.1 final release

2008-07-01 Thread Festor Wailon Dacoba

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: amule
  
  Hi all! :D
  
- Please, wait while I'm looking for information
+ The current version of aMule in Ubuntu 8.04 is not a stable version
+ (2.2.0~svn20080218-0ubuntu4, it is a svn snapshot). Yet at the time was
+ more stable than 2.1.3 so it was included.
+ 
+ Now it has published the final version 2.2.1 that can be considered stable 
(at least more than a snapshot svn)
+   
+ The main reasons why I am requesting that the upgrade program are as follows:
+  
+   * This release could be considered a bugfix release since most of the new 
features of aMule 2.2.1 are already included in the latest svn. Indeed! Some 
features are incomplete in the svn snapshot
+   * Version 2.2.1, to be an official launch, can be reported hypothetical 
errors in the program. A snapshot is svn, from the standpoint of developers, a 
lot of provisional code and that is no longer present at the launch stable.
+   * Ubuntu 8.04 is a LTS release so it will be in use at least 3 years for 
desktops. I do not think it advisable to maintain a snapshot svn for 3 years 
since "svn snapshot" is not synonymous of stability.
+   * At least in the forum of aMule have been reported numerous problems with 
the svn snapshot where developers can only advise compile a stable version or 
an svn latest snapshot. The end user should avoid the process of compiling 
whenever possible.
+  
+ Some of these problems are:
+ http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14957.0
+ http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15058.0
+ http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15025.0
+ http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14901.0
+ http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14887.0
+ http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14833.0
+ 
+ And these are just one example (if I am put a full list would be too
+ large). Such is the problem with this svn snapshot that aMule devs are
+ already tired of Ubuntu.
+ 
+ http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15259.0
+ 
+ Discussion here: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15317.0
+ 
+ They blame the Ubuntu patches in wxGTK and crypto + + packages. But in
+ my opinion, Ubuntu users reports of bugs never stopped and was in this
+ svn when the devs are tired.
+ 
+ I do not say that 2.2.1 is a "panacea" but at least is a stable version.
+ I am using self since he left and it seems to be more stable than
+ version repositories
+ 
+ Here is my package based on recent sync with Debian (diff.gz taken from
+ aMule 2.2.1 Intrepid)
+ 
+ amule (2.2.1-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
+ 
+   * New upstream release for Hardy
+   * debian/control
+- Changed libupnp3 for libupnp2
