freeze exception: ttf-aenigma 0.0.20080510.dfsg-1
Dear release team: ttf-aenigma (0.0.20080510.dfsg-1) has spent 12 days in unstable and I know from myself and those who use it that it just works. It is a very simple package. It would be really nice if it could be part of lenny. Would you please let it through? The package was uploaded before the freeze but had to go through the NEW queue, and with DebConf etc., that was delayed for a while. Joerg also spotted a small licence problem, which I fixed immediately during DebConf and thus reuploaded it. ttf-aenigma provides 465 truetype fonts, and Philip and myself spent a good 3-4 months to get the package into shape for Debian, convincing upstream to let us distribute it in a Free fashion. It would be a real shame if lenny users couldn't benefit from that.

Should 470629 be RC?
I'd like to make the case that bug 470629 ought to be fixed in Lenny. The bug is that a process spends an unreasonable amount of CPU time searching, waiting for someone to plug in a chip card. Now, this may not seem important, but I did the math, and it turns out to be a surprisingly large waste of energy and money. On my system, a 2.8GHz P4, it uses 3% of my CPU, 24 hours a day. For me, this is responsible for a (conservatively estimated) 1-watt increase in power consumption. (On more modern CPUs, this ranges from 0.1W to perhaps 0.5W. I'll take a conservative assumption that most people are running modern efficient CPUs and that the impact on the average user is 0.3 watts.) Now, when you multiply that increase in power by the number of Debian users (counting distributions that use Debian), it gets big. With 10 million users worldwide, we are looking at a total power consumption -- from this single program -- of several megawatts. (Enough to power several thousand houses or a good fraction of a percent of a nuclear power plant.) At my electricity prices, this amounts to US$11000 per day, and it could be several times larger if most people are actually running P4 machines.Over the life-span of lenny, this would amount to at least US$4 million in wasted electricity and many tonnes of CO2 generated. I have buy-in from the maintainer. He says that the bug has already been fixed upstream and that he is willing to work on it. (E-mail attached below.)I think this is an unusual bug in that it has a real and large economic and ecological impact, even if it doesn't really bother anyone much.Can we make it RC? - NOTE: Power estimates are from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_4_microprocessors and similar pages. Estimates of Debian computer come from http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-540480.html . Hi Greg, you're probably right regarding the huge amount of wasted energy. ... Greg Kochanski wrote: Actually, I think the economic and ecological implications of this bug raise it from the minor category. You're welcome to argue about its severity with debian-release@lists.debian.org but to be honest, I doubt your arguments will convince them. Nevertheless, if you manage to make this an RC bug I will do my very best to get a fix into Lenny. Unfortunately the upstream code in in libchipcard 4.1.3 is broken, i.e. not hotpluggable. A fix for this issue has been published in libchipcard 4.2.0, so a fix for this bug will probably be uploaded to experimental soon.
