Severity: normal Please unblock sisu 2.7.8 for Squeeze.
This sisu release is made almost entirely with debian live-manual needs in mind, most of them responses to requests as documented in the debian/changelog. It includes a fix without which there is a pattern matching error in building the current version of live-manual. This is listed under "internal links" in the changelog. This release though only built and posted yesterday has been tested in its present form for the past 6 days from the git repo. Note from previous unblock request: >I am upstream for sisu the development of which has likewise been frozen since >the Debian freeze to ensure a stable sisu version release with Squeeze. (There >have been several unblock requests, all thankfully granted). This freeze period >has been a useful for sisu development, a chance to review the existing code >and feature set and its behaviour, with each freeze set of fixes release being >more reliable and consistent than the previous one. Release team once again thank you, (Mehdi Dogguy is perhaps most familiar with this package, having dealt with 4 of the now seven unblock requests, thank you).

Freeze >development moved upstream to the 2.7 series from debian.changes after 2.6.3 >(with 2.6.3-6 being the same as 2.7.0-1 changelogs apart). All subsequent >freeze code fixes (and any documentation updates/corrections) have been in the >upstream tarball apart from updating the debian/changelog as needed. [aside on >why it become necessary to move changes back upstream to provide an upstream >tarball for a bug in ruby1.9.2 with sisu]: As explained in an earlier unblock >request, the change in upstream numbering (working upstream and opening 2.7 >series as opposed to patching 2.6.3) is, (apart from my being upstream for sisu >and the the diff starting to become unnecessarily large), that there is an >issue with ruby 1.9.2 (which segfaults) filed as a bug against ruby, that is >easier to test with a current upstream tarball, so work on sisu which is >currently only on Debian release (freeze) issues moved upstream to the 2.7 >series. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597953 ) [The following is an extract from 2.6.3-6 unblock request, and included with subsequent unblock requests, explaining the reason for the change in freeze patching strategy:] >>The plan now is to port/merge the debian freeze changes for 2.6.3-6 upstream >>with a new upstream tarball numbered 2.7.0 to represent the version in >>Squeeze. >> >>[An aside (verbose full disclosure for the sake of clarity). There is an issue >>with current and earlier versions of sisu and ruby1.9.2 (not the default >>ruby1.8.7). Some sisu options result in a segfault where there was no bug of >>any kind previously in ruby1.8.7, ruby1.9.0 or ruby1.9.1. (Bug report here >>http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597953 ). This is not a >>situation that is introduced by any recent version of sisu, and does not >>affect >>my unblock request. However, I nevertheless would like to be able to provide >>an >>upstream tarball of the latest version of sisu to ruby-core if I end up filing >>a bug report there (not least because the sisu --long-options are easier to >>understand) and will proceed to make sisu 2.7.0-1 which will be substantively >>identical to 2.6.3-6, the freeze on sisu will continue. In any event >>sisu-2.7.0 >>will not be uploaded to Debian before 2.6.3-6 has made it to testing, the >>Release Team hopefully seeing fit to grant this unblock request.]
