I think 1.5.6 may be suitable for upload now as it doesn't appear to have major feature changes from Ubuntu's perspective, so have been checking this in more detail to make sure.
I see 1.5.6-1 is prepared in Debian alioth git and tagged but not uploaded yet, so I've been looking into that as a candidate to upload to Ubuntu. >From a packaging perspective, the effective diff in /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service from 1.5.4-1ubuntu3 to 1.5.6-1 is as follows: -MemoryDenyWriteExecute=true -ProtectKernelModules=true -ProtectKernelTunables=true -ProtectControlGroups=true -RestrictRealtime=true -RestrictNamespaces=true I wonder if these changes are intentional. Perhaps I could do a bump to 1.5.6 by updating the upstream version in Ubuntu only to avoid them for now. Examining the debdiff of built binaries, there are no other functional changes evident (which should cover packaging changes). >From a source perpsective, I've been looking at upstream commits between 1.5.4 and 1.5.6. Following examination I'm satisfied that none of them result in feature changes from the perspective of Ubuntu users. Upstream commit 7141922 (systemd instancing support & rpm build improvements) might have been a feature change but doesn't appear as a change in the final package. Upstream commit 7f06ee8 (extstore: revise automove algorithm) seems to be the most extensive refactoring to me, but is an internal-only change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753839 Title: memcached deadlock fixed in 1.5.5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memcached/+bug/1753839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
