 This appears to be a consequence of the patch for CVE-2011- 4347

I reuploaded w/o that patch - that fix was POWER7 specific, and it
looks like POWER7 support wasn't supported in the lenny timeframe
anyway.

POWER7 only really got added to the installer in 6.0.4 (not even 6.0)
so, seems perfectly safe to assume that for 5.0.10.

As you most likely saw already, we've scheduled the point release for 
the 10th; i.e. a week and a bit from now.


Feel free to go ahead with the kernel upload, so we can get it chucked 
at the buildds.  If we could look at getting lkdi and d-i sorted fairly 
quickly after the kernel builds are in, that would be great, so we don't 
end up with any last minute surprises; let us know if there's anything 
you'd like us to assist with there.  I was hoping we could get away with 
binNMUing d-i, but we'd need a manual upload for hppa anyway, so we 
might as well start with a source+hppa upload I suppose...

  There are some security fixes for the kernel queued - nothing major.
  I had planned to see if the CVE-2011-4127 fix from the recent 2.6.27.y
  update applied cleanly/sanely. But, I'd also be ok w/ shipping what we
  have now.
 
 Evidently this reply got dropped somewhere by listz, at any rate...
 I prepared the above, tested it on amd64, and I'm currently preparing
 a build for hppa. I don't know of anything else that needs to change
 in d-i. My recommendation would be to either:

fwiw, the packages in o-p-u right now which contain udebs are freetype,
libpng and openssl.  Those all appear to be used in the gtk initrd at
least (openssl only on some architectures) although I'm not sure if that
makes a difference to whether we want to do a respin.

  A) upload this build to security. If we have all builds by Monday
 (02.27), go ahead and release a DSA and proceed with a d-i spin. If
 not, reject  go w/ what we have.

Assuming the technical side still works, I do worry a little that a new
DSA three weeks after the announced EOL for security support might
confuse people.

I suppose we could do a last-minute kernel update via o-p-u, although I
don't know if we have any idea how many people actually upgrade to EOL
point releases in the relatively short period before the move to
archive.d.o.

Phil: any thoughts / preferences?

 As the security team have recently confirmed that security support for
 lenny will end on February 6th (a year after the release of squeeze) it
 makes sense to schedule 5.0.10 to be after that date and make it the
 final roll-up point release for lenny.

 So, security EOL for lenny has now passed.  We're in sync with the
 security archive and the only missing packages are
 openjdk-6/{alpha,ia64} and opie/{arm,armel}.  AIUI the chances of those
 ever building are remote but, given that we've nothing to lose we might
 as well go ahead and accept them in to o-p-u and see what happens[tm].

 I can't see any outstanding o-p-u package bugs in the BTS.  If there's
 any I missed on the list, please yell.

 -kernel, -boot - were there any plans for a final kernel and/or d-i
 upload for lenny?  If so we need to get those sorted asap.

 In terms of scheduling for the point release itself, the current
 suggestions are:

 25-26/2 - Steve's not available for CDs

 3-4/3 - Cambridge BSP.  Should be do-able as long as I can get decent
 connectivity at the right time. :-)

 10-11/3 - Joerg mentioned he's not available on the Sunday, but that's
 only really an issue if stuff breaks and it then transpires that Mark's
 also unavailable to help fix the world.

 Thoughts / preferences / anything I missed?
