Package: zlib
Version: 1.2.3-13
please define UNALIGNED_OK when building the amd64 target... unaligneds
are very inexpensive on all intel and amd cpus.
i benchmarked gzip -9 on linux-2.6.17.tar with this define and i see a
2.5% speedup on p4, a64, and a 9% speedup on core2. the zlib source
fyi this is the same segfault i was getting which is fixed by the patch i
included in #382841 ...
it also looks like the new upstream 0.6.1 / 0.10.1 includes the fix.

Package: dcc
Version: 1.2.74-2
if you look at the make output while building dcc package you'll see that
none of the sub-makes have been passed the -O2 flag... so none of the cc
lines have -O2 on them. this could very well be an upstream problem...
but since the entire package is built in
the following patch fixes two bugs related to dccproc functioning when the
kernel doesn't support AF_INET6.
dcc_udp_bind is cloberring errno before using it... and is testing for the
wrong errno... it needs to test for EAFNOSUPPORT. i probably should have
dropped the EPFNOSUPPORT tests, but

drw-r-xr-x2
i'm hitting this bug on a file which is only 4315422720 bytes...
it'd be great if you could apply the patch before etch release... it fixes
the problem. thanks!

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg-1
in 4.2.0* if you specified -L you could stop ntp from listening on virtual
interfaces.
sometime since then the upstream has added -L interface to specify the
interface... but ntpd still insists on listening on every interface it
finds!
check out this
hmm... it seems that 4.2.0 opened the broadcast address anyhow... it just
avoided opening all the other interfaces when given -L. so really the
only regression here is that it's opening way more fds than it needs to...
especially if you give it -L eth0.
oh btw -- if there are more than ~512

update-cracklib runs daily... and writes a new dictionary even if there's
been no change to its input sources. if you have several wordlists
installed this can take some time and cause extra churn for backups...
please consider the patch below...

every time i do /etc/init.d/mysql start or restart it runs the

please consider configuring mutt with --enable-buffy-size so that it

atimes are unreliable (consider a backup program -- it'll change the

It should be make a configuration option.
that'd be OK
Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.2.2-1
mlock(2) is available to regular users since kernel 2.6.9... it would be
cool if /usr/bin/gpg didn't install as setuid by default in that case --
perhaps by asking in a dialog if the admin wants it setuid or not. (i'm
just using dpkg-statoverride for now, so
another workaround is to make a copy of /usr/share/file/magic.mime, i
called mine /usr/share/file/magic.mime.php4 ... then comment out the awk
regex line...
then edit /etc/php4/apache/php.ini and somewhere in the [PHP] section add:
mime_magic.magicfile = /usr/share/file/magic.mime.php4

i'm not sure i understand the motivation behind patch 033_-F_NO_SETSID ...
the problem in #244857 is a result of the following behaviour of
setsid(2):
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set. The only error
which can happen is EPERM. It is
this is a fairly serious regression.
