Package: viewvc
Version: 1.0.9-1
Severity: minor
User: [email protected]
Usertags: python2.6
Hello,
One of the changes brought by Python 2.6 is the removal of string
exceptions, so they won't work in Python 2.6 (just a side note: they
were also buggy before, since they were not guaranteed to work
reliable even in <2.6); as an example:
$ python2.5 -c "raise 'eggs'"
-c:1: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
eggs
$ python2.6 -c "raise 'eggs'"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException,
not str
Since 2.6 is the planned default version for the upcoming new Debian
stable release, there are chances your package may be affected by this
change.
We are not sure your package is impacted, since the exception raise
can be in a dead or very rare branch of the code, and so simply never
being executed. We would like to leverage your package maintainer
status and the relationship with upstream authors to inspect more
deeply the issue and act accordingly (that includes: making this bug
release critical, closing it as irrelevant, tagging it 'wontfix', or
whatever is appropriate).
Jakub Wilk made the discovery of the problem and kindly prepared a
list [1] of all identified packages (downloaded on 2010-06-09) along
with files & lines that triggered the pattern search.

This mass-bug filing was announced at 2010-06-06 on [2] (see the
thread and the references there).
[2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/06/msg00097.html
We do not consider the whole situation a stopper for the Python
transition to 2.6, except (of course) for those single bugs where
severity will be increased.
Thanks in advance for your attention,
Sandro on behalf of debian-python

Changes:
viewvc (1.1.5-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
[ John Zaitseff ]
* New upstream release (closes: #532611, #575777, #575787, #576307). This
solves CVE-2010-0004, CVE-2010-0005, CVE-2010-0736 and CVE-2010-0132.
* Extensive rewrite of files in the debian directory. Updated to Debian
policy 3.8.4, updated all control files to Debhelper 7, rewrote
debian/rules for clarity (and to use Debhelper 7).
* Removed all references to Debconf, as previous versions of this
package violated Debian policy (section 10.7.3): /etc/viewvc/viewvc.conf
is a conffile, and maintainer scripts must NOT modify it at any time.
* Reorganised the installation files in /usr/lib/viewvc. The CGI
programs are now links to files in /usr/lib/viewvc/cgi-bin.
* Packaged the Apache mod-python modules for optional use (in
/usr/lib/viewvc/mod-python). See README.Debian for more information.
* Moved the static help documentation ("docroot") from /usr/share/viewvc
to /usr/share/viewvc/docroot, as per Webapps Policy, section 3.1.
* Updated the debian/patches subdirectory to remove patches no longer
relevant to ViewVC 1.1.x and to update those that still apply.
* debian/control:
- Removed the dependency on gawk, as that was only required for Debconf
configuration.
- Demoted the dependency on mime-support to "Suggests": ViewVC can use
it, if appropriately configured, but does not require it.
- Added a suggestion for the python-tk package: viewvc-standalone(1)
uses this when passed the "--gui" flag.
- Modified all dependencies as appropriate. Depend on httpd-cgi, not
httpd, since the viewvc package needs a CGI server. In addition,
python-egenix-mxdatetime is no longer needed (since ViewVC 1.0.x).
- Updated the XS-Python-Version field to "all" (Closes: #570573).
- ViewVC 1.1.x supports only python-pygments as a syntax highlighter,
not enscript. Adjusted dependencies as appropriate.
.
[ David Martínez Moreno ]
* Changed history and added the CVE entry to the changelog for 1.0.9-1.
* debian/control:
- Moved Section to vcs in order to match the overrides.
- Make python-dev dependency just python.
- Removed dummy package viewcvs, it was already dummy in lenny.
* debian/viewcvs.*: Removed.
* debian/NEWS: Fixed version in John's entry and removed old news from 0.9.4.
* debian/README.source: Added.
* The new release also addresses in a different way how to show long
annotation messages (closes: #434301).
* Added debian/patches/92-no_strings_in_raise for fixing a couple of
occurrences of string exceptions in the code, no longer valid in Python
2.6, the default now (closes: #585366).
