Lintian release soon?
Hi, It's been a while since the last release, and mainly thanks to the great work by Russ Allbery, we've got a 80-line changelog entry atm and a mere 18 bugs fixed. I've rolled and installed the current svn (which now passes its own testsuite again), and would like to see an upload happen sometime in the near future. Widespread testing will only seriously happen anyway after upload to unstable, but a bit of testing by people on this list would be neat. So, please stresstest current svn a bit, and in case there's no serious problems found, we should upload the package. We can't fix all bugs at once after all. Russ, feel free to change the first line in the changelog entry if it bothers you, I'm feeling low on entropy^Winspiration a.t.m. to write something seriously witty. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Russ, feel free to change the first line in the changelog entry if it bothers you, I'm feeling low on entropy^Winspiration a.t.m. to write something seriously witty. Sounds fine to me. :) The only additional thing that I think would be cool to get into this release is the patch attached to the bug log for Bug#344269. Most of that patch is just adding test cases for a bunch of weird rexec under Perl conventions that have been seen in the wild and a fairly uncontroversial change to catch the rest of these in the script_is_evil_and_wrong check. The only controversial part is that the patch also bypasses the check for #! or ELF magic if the script passes script_is_evil_and_wrong, which is required for one of the magic entry points that Frank discovered and which apparently doesn't work if you put #!/bin/sh in front of it. It only works if the binary has no magic and therefore forces the kernel /bin/sh fallback. I'm not sure if we want to pass in lintian scripts that require that, although I believe it does work everywhere (although I'm not positive about the Hurd). I have an idea on how to solve Bug#344266 in a more thorough fashion, but that can wait for the next release. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

[...] I'll review the commits leading up to this release anyway before the release is really going to happen, so if you things it'd be good to have this in now, just go ahead. It's about supporting a very very dirty hack not needed in Debian, I'd rather simply see it not happen anywhere, but realisticly, that's not going to happen. If users end up falling all over us due to this [unlikely], we can quickly enough roll out a new version :). I have an idea on how to solve Bug#344266 in a more thorough fashion, but that can wait for the next release. That'd even be better. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
