Remaining RC base bugs are:
fdutils 74121 open serious
Trivial fix. Needs upload today, either MU or NMU (or both).
gcc-3.0 120452 open serious
s390 support.
ia64/mips/mipsel support also needed.
Chris C. Chimelis will upload soon, hopefully
[Release will have insonsistent source/binaries if unfixed;
gcc-3.0 freeze will be broken if unfixed and maintainer
becomes available soon enough; NMUs aren't appropriate]
gcc-3.0 119386 open serious
libgcj has a binary. Will be ignored if unfixed.
openldap2 98039 open serious patch
Needs upload today, either MU or porter NMU (or both).
openldap2 112499 open grave
[security implications] Will be ignored if unfixed.
slang 115376 open grave
Maintainer has fix prepared, and will upload hopefully?
-utf8 binary will be removed if unfixed
pcmcia-cs 97188 open grave
pcmcia-cs 98290 open grave
pcmcia-cs 109903 open grave
pcmcia-cs 110719 open grave sid woody
Problems with -2.2.19 modules. woody kernel should be 2.2.20
PCMCIA / kernel / -boot maintainers probably need to get
together and ensure appropriate pcmcia modules are
available for all architectures. Module packages need to be
available for the hard boot floppies freeze coming up at the
end of December.
pcmcia-cs 119837 open serious
Will be ignored if unfixed.
newt 119354 open serious patch
NMU? Will be ignored if unfixed.
bash 121167 open critical
Very vague bug report. Will be ignored.
gcc-2.96 115978 open critical
stringstream broken. Will be ignored.
After today, uploads of base packages should *NOT* be made to unstable.
Over the next ten days the last changes to base packages will be accepted
into woody. After Dec 9th, no changes (beyond minimal security backports,
or incredibly special exceptions) will be made to packages from any of
the following sources:
aboot debianutils groff ncurses rp-pppoe
adduser dhcp gzip net-tools sed
amiga-fdisk diff hfsutils netbase setserial
apt dosfstools hostname netkit-base shadow
at dpkg ifupdown netkit-telnet shellutils
atari-bootstrap dvhtool ipchains newt silo
atari-fdisk e2fsprogs libcap nvi slang
base-config ed libident openldap2 sparc-utils
base-files eject liblockfile palo sysklogd
base-passwd exim lilo pam sysvinit
bash fdutils logrotate pciutils tar
bsdmainutils fileutils mac-fdisk pcmcia-cs tasksel
console-common findutils mailx pcre3 tcp-wrappers
console-data gcc-2.95 makedev perl texinfo
console-tools gcc-2.96 man-db popt textutils
cpio gcc-3.0 manpages powerpc-utils update
cron gdbm mawk ppp util-linux
cyrus-sasl gettext mbr procps vmelilo
db2 glibc modconf psmisc yaboot
db3 gnu-efi modutils quik
debconf grep nano readline4
Additionally, in the next few days, boot-floppies, standard, and tasks
are expected to get into releaseable state (ie, no RC bugs). After
December 9th, standard packages (or packages in tasks) which've been
dropped from woody won't be reinstated. Please make sure that there's
a releasable version of your package in either woody or sid (or both)
by that date (complies with current policy, builds on all architectures,
doesn't have known RC bugs, has been given a few day's testing to ensure
that if there were some RC bugs that they would be known, etc). Current
standard/task packages (by source) with RC bugs include: boot-floppies,
cxterm, emacs20, gcc-defaults, gnuplot, gpm, isdnutils, junkbuster, mc,
mime-support, openssh, pdl, plotutils, postgresql, pydb, python-extclass,
python-pam.
These deadlines will be tweaked as necessary to accomodate the (still)
forthcoming crypto-in-main transition, but no more than necessary. Fix any
RC bugs you know of *now*.
Cheers,
aj
