It would have been wiser to do so *before* stating that nothing was

I don't think that's ever been in dispute for basically any core team
in Debian.

That doesn't change the fact that the atmosphere around the change in
question has made me feel very uncomfortable and unenthused about SRM
work. (I realise that this is somewhat of a self-feeding energy

I assume you're referring to the dpkg upload that's in proposed-updates 
waiting for the point release in two weeks time? Please check your
facts before ranting, particularly with such a wide cross-posting.

Also, ttbomk, the dpkg change landing in stable is not likely to
magically lead to the architecture being added to unstable - a decision
which is not the release team's to make or block. Again, please ensure
you've actually done your research.

I'm also getting very tired of the repeated vilification of SRM over
this, and if there were any doubt can assure you that it is not
increasing at least my inclination to spend my already limited free
time on Debian activity.

Hm, I’m still under the impression that the +bN suffix to the Debian
version of the package in the archive is the authoritative source for
what binNMU version a package currently has, as that’s taking porter
uploads into account which is a requirement. If the current code
doesn’t do that I consider it a bug which must be fixed (at the same
time, or before doing this change), which makes it more tricky, yes.


Specifically, wanna-build doesn't expose the binNMU version information 
for suites other than unstable / experimental (actually, it might be 
that it doesn't for suites that have an overlay - either way, it affects 
{,old}stable and testing), so the only way to be certain what binNMU 
number to use is to check manually. In practice what actually happens is 
that people forget about the bug, schedule the binNMUs and then grumble 
when either dak rejects the packages or something gets confused.

Ah, cool – so we have only to patch this tool to automatically

(or even to use the highest number if all architectures would
be touched, but that’s probably an unreasonable amount of code

Well, except you only really want to do it for libraries that are

Re: possibility of jessie-kfreebsd suite

On 2015-03-10 12:38, Christoph Egger wrote:

  Ansgar and me have been discussing the archive setup for
jessie-kfreebsd yesterday. Basically there's going to be a
jessie-kfreebsd and jessie-p-u-kfreebsd thing on ftp-master where the
jessie-p-u-kfreebsd automatically pulls in new uploads from jessie-p-u
via some dak script (allowing special +kbsd versions and local packages
for -bsd@ as well).

  For our preferred setup we'd need a bit of your help: When accepting
security uploads from stable/new into jessie-p-u would it be possible 
to
also trigger the sync from updates/jessie-kfreebsd [0] to 
-p-u-kfreebsd?

This should avoid having different binaries in the seucirity and
-p-u jessie-kfreebsd suites.


I have to admit that I'm confused as to how this would work in practice.

For the avoidance of any possible doubt, the Release Team don't (and 
can't) sync anything from the security archive. Uploads are pushed from 
security, and then hit the stable-NEW queue and are processed from 
there.


If jessie-p-u-kfreebsd will also include packages that aren't in 
jessie-pu then someone will presumably need to be managing a policy 
queue for that. Who's that expected to be? Would it not make more sense 
just to have uploads from updates/jessie-kfreebsd mapped on ftp-master 
to the policy queue for jessie-p-u-kfreebsd and then have them processed 
as usual from there?


Based on the above, I'm not sure it makes sense to couple the 
updates-stable-new-pu migration to the 
updates/kbsd-stable-new-kbsd-pu-kbsd migration. As an additional 
point, I can easily see cases arising where the packages from 
security-kfreebsd are all present but there are missing uploads for the 
Linux architectures, or vice-versa.

Adam

We (SRM) can't; we don't have any particular access to the upload queues

When there have been similar issues in the past, someone from the
security team has re-copied the packages over, but I'm not sure if that
was anything more involved than simply dputting or ftping the files.
I'll see if anyone on IRC can have a look.

 For a pu upload, would the version number have to be 9.0+ds1-11+deb7u1 ?

The version needs to be lower than that in testing, so either -10+deb7u1
or -11~deb7u1.

 Christoph, would you be able to do an upload of this to unstable please?

Given how close we are to the release, and the fact that kfreebsd-9

after the release.

 Indeed; compiled pulseaudio with that patch and could then successfully start

 It's in any case an improvement over what's now in kFreeBSD, I suggest to NMU

Soon would be good, indeed...

Hi,

The recent freebsd-glue upload added a Breaks: freebsd-buildutils (

freebsd-buildutils Build-Depends on freebsd-glue on !kfreebsd-any, -10

freebsd-libs itself and most of its r-deps migrated last night, with a 
few more migrating this morning.  The last package keeping the old 
libraries in testing now is mednafen, which was mising a build; that's 
now been uploaded so hopefully we should be able to get this finished 
with tonight's britney run.

Instead of waiting one more week, perhaps it'd make sense to force

Oddly enough, we'd already had that idea... :)

That rather depends on how long we think it's likely to take to get the

They were already binNMUed, that's how I discovered the bug. ;-p  I'll
give them back with a dependency on the new k-k-h.

btw, http://bugs.debian.org/src:kfreebsd-kernel-headers still lists two
outstanding RC bugs.  You need to use versioned -done mails, not just
add fixed versions.

There's also mednafen and xine-lib, which I think have transitive
dependencies via libsdl1.2?  The latter still seems to be FTBFS on
kfreebsd-amd64, despite the patch from #659615 being applied.  I've just
given it back for one last try.

fwiw, there's a possibility that vlc might be a blocker, given that the
new upstream version is FTBFS on multiple architectures (including
kfreebsd-*).

  That doesn't work.  The choices would be removing the kfreebsd-*

  entire package from testing.
 
 Is an upload needed in first case?

That would depend on whether you could convince ftp-master to remove
them as-is.  However, the build failure doesn't look like it's unfixable
(or incredibly hard to fix), so I imagine they'd suggest fixing the bug
instead; it's certainly what I'd suggest.

Specifically, all of the failures appear to be inside code introduced by
05-kfreebsd.patch, so presumably it just needs porting from the old
libcam API to the new one (which really should have been done *before*
the new API was uploaded to unstable).

Is there a direct replacement in the new API for (cdrom_drive
*)-private_data-ccb-csio.sense_data ?

In fact, it wasn't particularly hard at all, especially given the k3b
patch to use for inspiration.  The attached diff makes the package build
again, although I don't have a suitable kfreebsd-* system available
right now to test it on.

Testing and comments welcome.

 As explained the culprit is freebsd-buildutils, not freebsd-libs. I
 believe freebsd-buildutils 9.0-6 should now build on Linux-based
 systems, but I still have no feedback from the buildds.

You uploaded less than an hour ago, less than five minutes before the
start of a dinstall, so it's not even in the archive yet.  Be
patient... :)

 libsbuf-dev is needed for a build system component, which is not

So there's no need to binNMU them?

 libsdl1.2:

 likely due to breakage in kfreebsd-kernel-headers which isn't present
 anymore.  With up-to-date sid configure probe succeeds but it FTBFS
 later due to API change (filed as #659615).

Fun...

 zfsutils:
 gratuitous build-dependency (fixed in SVN).

 gratuitous build-dependency (filed as #659622).

etc.  Thanks for checking those.

Out of interest, how did the lack of an ACK or NACK to your question,
less than a week ago, of:

 Should we wait until the current transition is
  over, or upload to unstable with the new sonames as soon as possible?

lead you assume that the latter was the case?  I thought it was fairly
well established by now that one should wait for a response; I realise
they don't always arrive as quickly as one would like, but there's also
little point in asking a question if one isn't going to wait for an
answer.

 Sorry about that.  That I can recall, this is is the first time I go
 through this.  It didn't occur to me that this situation had the
 potential to be problematic as well.

Hopefully it won't be; the reverse-dependencies certainly have the
potential to be affected by changes in other packages though.  (One of
them, gpsd, had its own transition not that long ago in fact.)

 A quicker reply would have helped too, in putting me out of my ignorance.

Yep, I already mentioned that in my first mail.  We should be better at
at least following up with a we haven't had chance to look in to this;

Close - manual removal of kfreebsd-* binaries from unstable would be 
needed.  For that, you'll need to report a bug against ftp.d.o as 
normal.


As a rule of thumb, the only things that get removed from testing by 
direct action of the release team are source packages.  Anything else 
needs unstable's state sorting out first and the results then 
automatically getting synced to testing (assuming britney's happy with 
them).

 I realized the symlink in kfreebsd-8 had nothing to do with this.  The
 actual problem was in kernel-wedge and kfreebsd-kernel-di-i386.

Ah, okay.

 I've just NMUed both packages.
 
 Debdiffs attached.

For the record, the NMUs were acked on IRC and accepted earlier today.
I gave the kfreebsd-i386 d-i build back and it built successfully;

that a symlink to this file exists in /boot/.  This is due to an old
postinst kludge from pre-GRUB time.


Okay.

A quick fix would be appreciated, whether from the kfreebsd or d-i 
side,
given the increasingly short period of time we have remaining until 
the

point release is scheduled.


Attached patch should fix the problem.  I can upload a fixed
kfreebsd-8 this evening (feel free to NMU if someone has time to
verify earlier than that).


Forgive my ignorance on the precise mechanics, but is it correct that 
the /boot/kernel/kernel.gz symlink creation was also removed?


Would you be able to also upload a kfreebsd-i386 build?  That would 
help reduce the turnaround time before we can schedule a rebuild of 
kfreebsd-kernel-di-i386.

Adam

  It looks like this was missed in the original follow-up.  As a related
  query, has a test build of kfreebsd-kernel-di-* been performed in order
  to find out whether any additional modules get pulled in to the
  packages?
 
 I just tried.  The resulting file lists are identical.

debian-installer was binNMUed earlier today in preparation for the point
release, and FTBFS on kfreebsd-i386.  The log finishes with:

# Move the kernel image out of the way.
mv -f ./tmp/cdrom/tree/boot/kfreebsd.gz ./tmp/cdrom/kfreebsd.gz;
test -e ./tmp/cdrom/tree/boot/zfs || rmdir ./tmp/cdrom/tree/boot/
rmdir: failed to remove `./tmp/cdrom/tree/boot/': Directory not empty
make[7]: *** [stamps/tree-unpack-cdrom-stamp] Error 1

The problem appears to be that the contents of the kernel udeb have
changed:

$ debdiff kernel-image-8.1-1-486-di_0.6_kfreebsd-i386.udeb 
kernel-image-8.1-1-486-di_0.6+b1_kfreebsd-i386.udeb 
[...]
Files in second .deb but not in first
-
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /boot/acpi.ko

This appears to be due to the fact that the new kfreebsd-8 +squeeze1
kernel on -i386 builds acpi.ko as a module, which is then picked up by
existing install this module if it exists rules in kernel-wedge.

A quick fix would be appreciated, whether from the kfreebsd or d-i side,
given the increasingly short period of time we have remaining until the
point release is scheduled.

 Thank you.  Btw, how do we go about propagating this to kfreebsd-kernel-di-*?

If there are changes which need propagating to the udebs - which isn't
always the case, as evidenced by the fact that the last build was
against 8.1+dfsg-7.1 - someone from -boot needs to upload both source
packages; it looks like Aurelien has done that in the past.

If the aim is to do that for 6.0.3 then those uploads need to happen
within the next day, or they'll miss the cut-off.

 I didn't know if D-I followed the same release cycle.  Given your
 reply, now I assume it does.

d-i _in stable_ does, yes.  The only time anything in stable changes is
in a point release.  (The udeb packages might get uploaded to
proposed-updates in between, but there's no installer release that would
be built to use them, afaik).

 The archive side of the point release has now finished.  The next
 scheduled archive update begins in a couple of hours time, after which
 updated packages will start appearing on mirrors.

Unfortunately, during the generation of the CD images, a problem was
discovered which meant that the kfreebsd-{amd64,i386} Packages file
contained the wrong information for a particular package.

That issue has been corrected, and the point release is being
re-published this morning as 6.0.2.1.  There are no changes in package
content; the only difference from the original 6.0.2 (aside from
versioning in Release files, etc.) is the fix to the Packages files.

 Then, shouldn't that be 6.0.2a just like which occurred previously to 
 result in 6.0.1a to replace 6.0.1 

The a suffix has previously been used to indicate CD-only rebuilds -
i.e. where no changes were made on the archive side (with one exception
during etch's stable lifetime).  As this involved a change to the
archive (albeit a minor one) we decided to use a version which
distinguished it from a CD-only change.

It looks like kfreebsd-* also made the switch and there's been a request

Looking through the bug list for src:gcc-4.5, none of the open issues
seem to be specific to the remaining release architectures which haven't

there been any discussion with the port maintainers regarding switching?

 As a default use the plain cons25 variant. Additionaly provide
 cons25-debian entry in ncurses and special debian keymap in
 freebsd-utils. By default it will work as variant 1, but there is a
 possibility to set TERM to cons25-debian and set keymap which would
 generate the correct sequences for cons25-debian.
 
 4) backport TEKEN_XTERM from FreeBSD 9.x
 needs patched sysvinit, patched kfreebsd-8, patched freebsd-utils
 
 My personal order of preferences in deep freeze is 3, 1, 4, 2.

Just to make sure I understand correctly, option 3 is roughly doesn't
conform to Policy but can be made to without significant effort and a
sysvinit update would be necessary in order to make the default Policy
compliant?  If so, how large is the change required to sysvinit?

 All are better compared to current status.
 Long term solution is 4.
 
 I asked Robert to upload kfreebsd-8 8.1+dfsg-7.1 to implement option 1.
 Unfortunately freebsd-utils 8.1-3 migrated into testing, despite
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2010/12/msg00128.html

Unfortunately it got re-unblocked by someone else and I didn't notice
until it was too late.

  If they are going to revert the changes in freebsd-utils as well (which
  is one of the proposed solutions), there is little point in unblocking
  ncurses at all.
 
 No, the unblocking of ncurses allows us to implement option 3.
 
 The problem exists only on local text console, the delete/backspace keys 
 work correctly when logged on local X console or remotely.
 
 The quickest solution is to disable 032_delete_key.diff in freebsd-utils
 and unblock it and unblock kfreebsd-8 8.1+dfsg-7.1 aka option 1.

freebsd-utils has also been re-uploaded (as 8.1-3.1) to revert the
change made there; am I correct that unblocking kfreebsd-8,
freebsd-utils and ncurses would give us option 1 on your list and that
basically puts us back where we were to start with?  If so, what other
changes would be required (and how large would be they be) to allow us
to implement option 3?

Bug#594940: Includes binary-only and obfuscated C code

2010-11-13 Thread Adam D. Barratt
Sorry for the slight delay in responding to this.

  Ben's original lists included some files which we don't appear to be

  at least would need to be removed rather than ignored.
 
 The question is whether pruning following files suffices:

Apologies if this question has already been asked (I couldn't find the
previous occurrence if it has), but what would the effect on the
kfreebsd-* kernel be of removing all of the files which were originally
mentioned in Ben's mails in this bug report, and is that an option which
has been considered by the porters?

fwiw, if the current firmware-loading mechanism could be extended to
support using the firmware-* packages, the SRMs would be prepared to
look at introducing the updated mechanism - and any necessary new
firmware packages - as part of a Squeeze point release, if desired /
required.

Regards,

Adam

 Hi,
 
 and thanks for your report. I'm not sure we're going to have time and
 manpower to fix this bug in time for squeeze; that's why I'm wondering
 whether it could be granted a squeeze-ignore exception. Cc-ing the
 release team.

Hi,

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner regarding this.

Firstly, we'd like to thank Ben for his offer to help incorporate those
files which we are able to distribute into the existing firmware-nonfree
package.

Sadly, the list mentioned in the bug log includes some files which we
cannot distribute for various reasons; these appear to be a couple of
sound drivers, some network card drivers, firmware for an ATM card
(which Google suggests is intended for use in Alpha machines) and some
serial multiplexers and adapters.  Without the ability to distribute the
affected files, there is not a great deal we can do to resolve these
issues other than removing them.

For the remainder of the files, whilst we may consider granting a
squeeze-ignore tag, we would like to come to an agreement as to how we
can resolve these issues in the medium term.  We appreciate that the BSD
kernel has not received the same level of upstream attention that the
Linux kernel has in recent years in terms of ensuring that all content
is freely distributable.   We believe that working with them on these
issues can only be of benefit for free software, and would help to move
the kfreebsd-* architectures from technology previews towards fully
supported stable releases with everything we have to come to expect from
the Linux architectures.

Does the kfreebsd kernel include the ability to load firmware from
external files, akin to /lib/firmware on Linux?  If so, this would
hopefully make the process of moving the firmware files out-of-kernel
much less painful, particularly for those cases where firmware-non-free
already includes the affected files.

Regards,

Adam
