diffstat

[Asheesh Laroia]

I just did a diffstat on the two libwebkit-1.0-1 source packages in 
question.


$ debdiff webkit_1.0.1-4.dsc webkit_1.0.2~pre.svn37878-1.dsc | diffstat
[...]
 3832 files changed, 193186 insertions(+), 1006263 deletions(-)

Egad, that's a lot of differences.

I have a feeling that the libwebkit currently in sid and lenny is pretty 
broken, from the looks of this bug.


Dear Debian-Releasers,

Is there any way that this library can be permitted to enter testing with 
all these changes?


Perhaps the webkit maintainers can offer an explanation for all these 
changes, but with the changes so numerous, I imagine that would be 
difficult.


If not, and the Debian Releasers insist that this can't flow into Lenny 
without that explanation, I believe the maintainers have three choices:


* Find the fix for this issue and backport it on top of 1.0.1-4
* Remove libwebkit-1.0-1 from lenny
* Simply allow lenny to release with 1.0.1-4 that is this broken.

The last one is a real option, as I understand things, and one could offer 
a newer libwebkit e.g. in "backports" once Lenny ships.


Dear maintainers, what is your plan?  At least if you say "Choice 3" we'll 
stop bothering you.


Removing libwebkit-1.0-1 from lenny is also somewhat reasonable, if 
somewhat tragic.


Finding the patch and backporting it is best, but it's an open question as 
to if that's worth doing.

leafnode 1.11.7-rc1-10

[Mark Brown]

I recently uploaded Leafnode 1.11.7-rc1-10 to unstable with the only
change being an update to the Spanish Debconf template translations.
It's not possible to migrate this to testing since Leafnode depends on
pcre3 which has had a shlibs bump and a new upstream release between
testing and unstable - is it OK to do a t-p-u upload for this?

lenny removal requests

[Thomas Viehmann]

Hi,

so here are three RC bugs with maintainers clearly indicating that they
don't want the buggy packages to release and none look like they will be
fixed. The package do not have reverse dependencies, so they seem to be
good for removal.

xml2rfc #506652
  The maintainer Florian Weimer:
  This means we shouldn't release the current xml2rfc version with
  lenny.

mailscanner #506353
  The maintainer Simon Walter writes:
In the current state the package should not be part of
the lenny release.
I'm in no position to fix all this. I'm not familiar enough with
the MailScanner sourcecode and I'm not able to test the changes I
would have to make, in particular to all the virusscanner scripts.
  upstream apparently does not seem to, let's say, consider the tempfile
  vulnerability a bug and does not seem to want to fix it.

helpdeco #507021
  The maintainer Paul Wise writes:
  Based on the issues I found and fixed in upstream SVN last year with
  the zzuf input fuzzer, I don't think the current version should be
  allowed into lenny on any architecture

Kind regards

T.

Re: Bug#504340: djvulibre-plugin/testing and #504340

[Thomas Viehmann]

Hi,

so Luk wanted to give people a chance to comment before deciding on this
largish fix. I have since privately received correspondence from Leon
indicating that at first sight, the patch looked sane but is doing too
much at once, but would not have time for a more thorough analysis
before the second week of next year.
I would really like to see a working djvulibre-plugin in lenny, so I
wonder what the plan should be. Please also add other djvulibre bugs to
fix in a t-p-u upload if you so desire.

Kind regards

T.

please remove phpbb2 from testing

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Hi,

RC bug #508701 has been filed against phpbb2 for it being unsupportable in the 
stable lifetime. After some thought I have decided that this is indeed 
correct and asked the FTP-masters to remove it in #509620. While that request 
is pending processing, phpbb2 can already be removed from testing.


thanks,

I think it's too late to do it inside ghostscript, it would have to go
in perl-modules.

Not sure if the case where perl-base is upgraded first and perl-modules
lacks behind is just theoretical, but it would create the same effect.
It would mean we'd need the hack in perl-base too.

I'm obviously not thrilled by this ugliness, but it's doable.

Thomas, thanks for driving this.

Maybe "configure script" is badly worded: It's most blatant abuse, but
I'd just stick it into a /var/lib/dpkg/info/ghostscript.config
unless there are apt-get-lookalikes that don't call that at the
beginning of an upgrade. If the user produces the bad situation with
dpkg by himself, well, who cares.

Kind regards

[Thomas Viehmann]

Hi again,

immediately after I sent the last mail, Sune Vuorela pointed me to
apache2's fix for #390823: They simply remove the problematic maintainer
script.
The question then is where to do this in so it is reliably done before
stuff happens.
In one of the perl packages (because the upgrade of perl triggers this)
is probably too ugly, maybe the configure script of ghostscript?

Kind regards

T.

Thanks for testing, I started a retry on the buildd.

the gs-common problem

[Thomas Viehmann]

Hi everyone,

you have been involved in #503712
so it's been a while since the last activity here.

contrary to Niko's last mail I propose to live with a circular
dependency and
- make ghostscript depend on gs-common (>> -3.2 to be uploaded)
- make gs-common NOT depend on ghostscript-x
unless there is a compelling reason not to (i.e. massive breakage would
a reason, that gs-common then will have to stay installed for lenny is
not, the circular dependency in itself isn't, but if it causes
problems...). IMO a single excess package is not that bad compared to
requiring attention during an upgrade.

I will check whether this is a problem for the reverse
build-dependencies and dependencies. For the latter, it would be cool if
 the maintainers of the affected packages,
  Vincent   for latex-make
  Sylvain and David for page-crunch
  the Zope guys and Andreas and Fabio for zope-textindexng3
could weigh in here. I'll look at your packages, but if you already know
whether it works without ghostscript-x or not, it'd be great if you
could give me a shout.

Happy holidays and kind regards

T.

P.S.: When you reply, you might want to drop part of the CC madness. :)

please consider python2.4 / python2.4-doc for testing

[Matthias Klose]

 python2.4  (2.4.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release (security fixes only).
 - Prevent expandtabs() on string and unicode objects from causing a
   segfault when a large width is passed on 32-bit platforms.
   CVE-2008-5031. Closes: #507317.
 - Remove patches applied upstream.
   * Avoid bashisms in example script. Closes: #489648.
   * Don't include extensions in the package, which did fail to build.

compared to the 2.4.5 release, 2.4.6 has security updates only; all
changes besides the fix for 507317 were already applied in 2.4.5-6.

the change not to include extensions in the package, which did fail to
build was seen with a local build with tcl8.5/tk8.5 installed.

the corresponding python2.4-doc upload just updates the version number.

  Matthias

 I can confirm that the package builds fine, started a build yesterday
on a mipsel box I have access to. I did build it in an uptodate unstable
cowbuilder chroot, the build log can be found here:


 If it's fine with others I'm willing to upload the build to help the
issue.

 So long,
Rhonda

Probably yes, since some other developers tried initially to reproduce
the problem, but they couldn't (as it seems they were running on newer
SMP machines). But I don't have a SMP server which is why I can't test
myself...

Luk, thanks for the unblock. Unfortunately 'bacula' cannot migrate due
to a build failure on mipsel [1]. Can any of the mipsel buildd admins
can have a look since it seems an environment problem rather than a
package build issue?
John, if another upload is needed to fix the build failure for mipsel
can you include 3 more bug fix patches for the 2.4.3 release mentioned
in bug #508816? Luk, does this sound reasonable for an unblock?

Thanks

So just using an SMP kernel should also work?

 What does that mean for the lenny 2.6.26 kernel?

Just wanted to give a short update -
After quite some debugging by various parisc kernel developers, it seems
that buggy TLB flushing code was causing the ruby1.9 build failures /
kernel crashes and we developed a workaround for now:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.parisc/1028

Patch in parisc git tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kyle/parisc-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=378fe7c4cc619b561409206605c723c05358edac;hp=6c4dfa8f8bcf032137aacb3640d7dd9d75b2b607

I assume this patch solves quite some other issues which were seen as well.

It would be really nice, if this (preliminary) patch could be included
in the debian parisc kernel soon...

I'll update bugzilla 478717 as well.

Helge
