Unblock webkitkde (kpart-webkit / libkwebkit1) or other action?
Heyho! (Ping - sent last Thursday, no answer so far.) Sune NMUd webkitkde (which I maintain) and got a freeze exception. Not being aware of this I uploaded a new upstream snapshot (fixing at least one quite annoying bug), incorporating his NMU change and correcting README.Debian to match the change Sune did in his NMU. libkwebkit1 ABI didn't change as far as I can see; kget is currently the only package depending on this (except kpart-webkit itself, of course.) I'd be happy about input from the release team about how to proceed: - I re-upload Sune's NMU version to t-p-u - let the new version go into squeeze - remove webkitkde from squeeze (requires a kdenetwork upload without dependency on libkwebkit, so less than ideal unless such an upload is planned anyway.) (Looking at popcon and at the low number of bug reports despite there being a few annoying bugs, removing webkitkde from squeeze wouldn't be the end of the world - having it in squeeze would still be nice, though.) +++ webkitkde (0.9.6svn1170614-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version. - History fixes. * Merge NMU and adjust README.Debian to match the new reality * Convert symbol file to C++ * Update to Policy 3.9.1 -- Adrian von Bidder c...@debian.org Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:17:45 +0200 +++ cheers -- vbi -- In Blythe, California, a city ordinance declares that a person must own at least two cows before he can wear cowboy boots in public. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

let postgrey 1.27-4 to etch?
Hi, Can postgrey 1.27-4 be let into etch? * corrects a 'fails during remove/purge' bug which is not that hard to trigger (fails always if the daemon is not running at remove time.) - http://bugs.debian.org/401902 * a documentation fix * was uploaded before the freeze * no other changes.

postfix: possible RC bug?
Yodel! I'm just wondering if #397771 (SASL auth breaks with current postfix + cyrus sasl from testing) shouldn't be RC. As far as I understand, basically every postfix+sasl set up will break on sarge-etch upgrade. (latest bug activity: 25. November) Sorry to be unable to help. cheers -- vbi -- featured link: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/subkeys pgpd7wUyl22K7.pgp Description: PGP signature
rapple: please delete from etch
Yo! I'm not quite sure why #340709 (don't release RC marker bug) is marked as resolved. I tried to reopen it with a found command because I don't think it should be shipped with etch but then didn't follow up. I've just now seen that the bug is not open and rapple is still in testing. cheers -- vbi cc:s appreciated.

NFSv4

AFAICS, that goal has been completed for a while. Small question that could help improving performance here :-) Does the current NFSv4 implementation already allow client-side on-disk caching? IIRC the standard does specify it, but a quick look at linux-nfs.org confuses me - some pages speak about delegations, but OTOH the end user pages like http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/index.php/NFSv4_Introduction don't mention anything. -- Frink! pgpqvGwCozXdQ.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Bug #309257: libpano12: patent problems
On Wednesday 22 June 2005 03.25, Florent Bayle wrote: [libpano12] http://www.virtualproperties.com/noipix/patents.html suggests that there is clear prior art in this case. I have taken this link from previous discution on debian-legal. But Robert Jordens thinks that : The prior art argument is pretty much irrelevant in our question as long as the legal status quo is different and the patent has not been challanged. Wouldn't this be a case where pubpat could be asked to review the patent and try to challenge it? Debian is, after all, quite well-known, and if this patent really - has prior art and thus should be available, and - is enforced aggressively enough that some developers have been scared away, I think pubpat might be interested. (The two items above were hinted at in this discussion - I'm not familiar with the case, just jumping in.) cheers -- vbi -- Compatible: Gracefully accepts erroneous data from any source. pgpT6gXYCUUMm.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Proposal: Bringing volatile in shape for sarge
On Tuesday 24 May 2005 10.31, Andreas Barth wrote: volatile is also mentioned in the release notes. [...] With volatile being mentioned in the release notes (and it being a debian.net service, thus not-entirely-official), a clarifying note should imho be added to explain what the difference is between the three big places to get debian packages, namely volatile, backports.org and apt-get.org (I hope d-release is the right list for this) volatile is already covered, I propose adding a section 6.5 === Getting additional software Although the Debian GNU/Linux software archive is very big, it may happen that you want to install software not available from debian.org. Debian packages are available from many places, the two most important addresses are: - backports.org Debian's update policy is very conservative: basically, no new software versions at all are allowed into Debian sarge once it is released, the point updates (3.1r1 etc.) primarily integrate previously released security updates. backports.org releases new software versions packaged to run on Debian sarge. [#include not about security support for backports.org - I have no idea myself.] - apt-get.org apt-get.org is not a package repository itself, but many package repositories are listed in the searchable index of this site. Consequently, trustworthiness, quality and offered level of maintenance/support vary wildly depending on the source of the packages. Please see also section 2.1.1 about 'volatile' as a source of updated packages for software like virus scanners etc. which depend on information that easily becomes outdated. === greetings -- vbi pgp85PL7A4n4G.pgp Description: PGP signature
