Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for this update of "btrfs-progs". I have chosen to update to v4.5.3, because this version does not trigger a bug when combined with linux-4.6.x as discussed in the following email: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg56664.html If the two patches discussed in this email are merged into linux-4.7, I plan to package btrfs-progs-4.6.1 or v4.7 when linux-4.7 is uploaded to unstable: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg56659.html Alternatively, this bug might be fixed in btrfs-progs-4.7. For now, lets use 4.5.3! Here is the upstream changelog post-4.5.2: * ioctl: fix unaligned access in buffer from TREE_SEARCH; might cause SIGBUS on architectures that do not support unaligned access and do not perform any fixups * improved validation checks of superblock and chunk-related structures * subvolume sync: fix handling of -s option * balance: adjust timing of safety delay countdown with --full-balance * rescue super-recover: fix reversed condition check * check: fix bytes_used accounting * documentation updates: mount options, scrub, send, receive, select-super, check, mkfs * testing: new fuzzed images, for superblock and chunks Package name: btrfs-progs Version: 4.5.3-0.1 Section: admin It builds these binary packages: btrfs-progs - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities btrfs-progs-dbg - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities (debug) btrfs-progs-udeb - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities (udeb) (udeb) btrfs-tools - transitional dummy package btrfs-tools-dbg - transitional dummy package To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/btrfs-progs Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs_4.5.3-0.1.dsc Changes since the last upload: * Non-maintainer upload. * New upstream release. * Update standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes needed). * Install upstream changelog. (Closes: #824894) * Fix serious errors in debian/copyright. This is not a GPL2+ package. Cme was used to generate a machine-readable copyright file, then manual fixes were made. (Closes: #824896) * Add mangling rules to debian/watch to prefer non-rcN versions; * Add cryptographic signature verification of tarball. Thank you, Nicholas
