[gentoo-dev] Unmasking db 4.6

2008-04-25 Thread Caleb Tennis
Does anyone have any objections to unmasking db 4.6.21?  It's been in portage 
now
for a long time, but was quickly masked when some packages had some issues with 
it. 
The only remaining package that has an issue that I'm aware of is openldap, and 
I've
submitted a patch that makes openldap just use a lower installed db version.

Any other packages that need looked at, or does anyone else have thoughts or
objections?

Thanks,
Caleb

Most likely it will cause problems for XEmacs, which will probably be
easy to solve with some configure script tweaking. I've put testing it
on my todo list.

Kind regards,

[gentoo-dev] Stabilizing CUPS 1.3

2008-04-25 Thread Timo Gurr
Hello fellow developers,

CUPS 1.3 has been in the tree for quite some time now and has matured
to a degree where it should be ready to go stable. We've no open CUPS
bugs for 1.3 anymore. Also maintaining CUPS 1.2 will be even harder as
time goes by since there's nearly no month passing without a new CVE
affecting CUPS and we have to plug the holes with patches.

KDE 3.5.9 will go stable any time soon and I'd like to have CUPS
stabilised along with it since an upgrade from CUPS 1.2 to 1.3 would
mean an additional rebuild of kdelibs. An ewarn message has already
been added to the ebuild to notify our users to run etc-update and
revdep-rebuild after upgrading from CUPS 1.2 since this is very
important.

If there's anything I might oversee please speak up.

Upstream feature changelog for CUPS 1.3 can be found here:
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/whatsnew.html

Our current cups-1.3.7-r1 ebuild:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-print/cups/cups-1.3.7-r1.ebuild?view=markup

Regards
Timo Gurr
