Sorry for the status change, my fault. Maybe it is well know, but I would point out that debian packages for version >= 1.9.7 are ready and available at
git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-moodle/moodle.git Browsable version: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-moodle/moodle.git;a=summary I have just compiled/installed the versione 1.9.9-1 on a 10.04 Server and *seems* that everything works! I needed that upgrade because the security department of my university blocked the site for these bugs. If there is some brave/desperate person out of there that needs the upgrade, here there are the steps: (however, remember, this package is highly experimental, do not use it if you do not NEED it) (make a db backup... just in case) A $ mysqldump -u <moodle_user> -h localhost -p <moodle_db> | gzip -9 > backup_db_moodle_1.9.4.sql.gz B $ sudo aptitude install git-core # if you don't have it B $ git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-moodle/moodle.git moodle-dev B $ cd moodle-tag B $ git checkout debian/1.9.9-1 B $ sudo aptitude install build-essential debhelper quilt # if you don't have them A $ sudo aptitude install libjs-yui libphp-magpierss php-fpdf libphp-pclzip # if you don't have them B $ dpkg-buildpackage # May require some minutes B $ cd .. A $ sudo dpkg -i moodle_1.9.9-1_all.deb and follow the on-screen instructions. If you already have a moodle installation do not let the installer to "prepare" the db and do not let it to replace your configuration (db/password/usernames...). Moreover, it is a good idea to remove the just installed development tools from any non testing server. Actually it is a good idea to build the packages on a development machine and copy just the needed deb file, I have marked with "A" the operations that must be executed on the server and with "B" the operations that must be executed on the development machine, of course, in addiction you have to copy the moodle_1.9.9-1_all.deb file. -- multiple security problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523240 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
