Bug#828231: alpine: FTBFS with openssl 1.1.0

2016-12-11 Thread Asheesh Laroia
Hi! Thanks!

I'll schedule some time to look into this on Tuesday this week; hopefully
that will work out, and I'll keep this bug up to date with my progress.


Bug#744097: stdeb: pypi-install broken due to python.org URL change

Bug#631758: Why I consider this 'serious'

2012-09-30 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Hi Holger and all,

This bug makes alpine in the package maintainer's... opinion, 
unsuitable for release, as per 
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities


(I will say I'm open to discussion on the topic.)

The first thing that every new alpine user will see is an enthusiastic 
message which, upon execution, leads to an error in their inbox in short 
order. That's just absurd.


I'm working on untangling my changes in VCS from the NMU that recently 
took place, and will then bring this up to the release team.


Other thoughts welcome!

Bug#687398: More information on how to reproduce the `dlopen' issue

2012-09-30 Thread Asheesh Laroia

wRAR, thank you for your excellent detective work.

Here's how you reproduce this build issue without even enabling parallel 
build.


(Sadly I can't actually reproduce the brokenness from within 
dpkg-buildpackage by setting parallel build options; maybe my machine 
doesn't have as many cores as the EC2 machines. But the fix described 
below does clarify the build process which should take care of the 
problem.)


$ (rhash-1.2.9) rm rhash
$ (rhash-1.2.9) make rhash
gcc calc_sums.o hash_print.o common_func.o hash_update.o file_mask.o

`dlopen'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [rhash] Error 1

When SHARED_TRG is just 'rhash', then the build gets confused in parallel 
mode, I suppose. In principle, it's within its right to be confused; 
you're asking it to do 'make rhash', after all.


So what I'm going to do is:

* Adjust debian/rules to *not* specify SHARED_TRG

* Right after rhash_shared is built, use 'mv' to rename it to 'rhash'

That's all it should take to fix this, I believe.

I'll prepare a 1-day delayed NMU for that. Maintainer, please feel free to 
remove it; I don't mean to step on your toes, just to move this bug along.


I'll attach the debdiff here before doing the upload.

Bug#687931: JPEG 2000, signed ints, and C

I can reproduce the crash.

Note that openjpeg-tools does not crash on this file. Demonstration:

Run these:

sudo apt-get install openjpeg-tools

wget 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi\?msg\=5\;filename\=jas_image_readcmpt2_SIGABRT.j2k\;att\=1\;bug\=687931 
-O bugreport.j2k


Then when you run this command:

j2k_to_image -i bugreport.j2k -o rofl.tif

You get this output:

Bug#666176: Suggesting disabling tracker-miner-evolution

2012-09-30 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Hey all,

Given the lack of movement by upstream on this issue, and the fact that 
they acknowledge the bug, and that 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733523 has been open for about 
a year with no evidence of resolution coming soon, I would suggest simply 
not building the (known-bad) tracker-miner-evolution binary package.


One day, when that code works again, we can enable it. (Alternately, a 
testing-proposed-updates version of src:tracker could disable the binary 
package, and then sid could keep it enabled awaiting the day that it works 
again.)


I would suggest just disabling it in sid, though.

Michael, is that a resolution you'd be willing to accept?

Thanks!

-- Asheesh.

If you look at the upstream tarball for metakit, it builds a binary 
(command) called dump. If you run it against one of the metakit database 
files from 
http://www.file-upload.net/download-2910539/Archive_old.tar.gz.html , you

Sahll I grab his patch from the bug and update my sources?


I think that would be great.

BTW, how are you staying up to date with this? I ask because SourceForge 
broke my rsync-to-adzapper.sf.net and I haven't yet found a way to 
update that page that doesn't involve a manual password entry for the 
ssh:-(


In a pinch, you could try using 'expect' to automate typing the password, 
but that's a pretty sad situatiohn.


In consequence the web page is somewhat out of date and I need to fix 
that. I can punt you the latest zapper by hand if you want it, also.


That'd be useful, but I'm not the primary maintainer of adzapper. You 
should get in touch with that person, but if that doesn't work, I can step 
in as a last resort. (-:


I think that covers everything. Thanks for replying quickly!

It seems like they object to the packaging changes -- the change to 
debhelper 8. That's why Julien Cristau quoted that part.


What if you re-do the changes without the parts Julien quoted? (Maybe ask 
the release team first, to avoid you doing a lot of work and then them 
saying no.)

Bug#591193: Replacing the bundled .swf files with source-available ones

2010-11-15 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Hello Cameron,

There's a bug filed in Debian against adzapper because the SWF files in 
the source tarball you ship don't have source code available. I'm emailing 
you to explain the problem in further detail, and to explain to you that 
we have a solution.


Take a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591193 , 
in particular the comment toward the top by Gerfried Fuchs (Rhonda) that 
explains what it means to have source for SWF files.


Do you happen to have the .FLA or .AS files that were used to generate the 
SWF files you have in the adzapper package?


It's actually quite okay if not -- the extraordinary Chris Butler 
submitted a patch to the adzapper package (toward the bottom of the 
discussion) that uses a Perl library to generate the SWF files. So if you 
want, you can use that recipe to regenerate the SWF files you ship in your 
tarball.


The reason I bring all this up is that since Debian is committed to only 
shipping software compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines, it's 
considered a release-critical bug if we package and distribute things for 
which we do not have source code. So I wonder:


Is this something where you'd be willing to do a new release that uses SWF 
files generated by Chris Butler's code?


If you're willing to do that soon, then Debian will likely ship that 
version in squeeze, the upcoming release. If not, then Debian will likely 
carry a patch to use Chris's SWF files instead of the ones that you 
distribute in the tarball.


Hope you're well, and thanks for making and sharing adzapper!

Bug#602250: On what is enough to be considered a relicensing

2010-11-15 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Hi Christian,

It seems that Geoff thinks that an MIT license would be okay to apply to 
qtobject. But he didn't quite so far as to say it.


Here is what I suggest: Ask him to email the bug report saying:

I am Geoff Stearns, the author of qtobject, and I permit its use under 
the MIT License.


And then ask him to write a copy of the MIT license into that email (you 
can grab a copy from http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php ).


I think that an email submitted to a Debian bug should count as adequate 
for licensing matters. I am not an ftpmaster, but that is my pretty firm 
opinion.


Can you ask for that? (A change on the web page is good, too, but if 
that's too much trouble, an email would be fine, I think.)

Bug#601161: Some links, and some thoughts

2010-11-15 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Here are some thoughts about synce-serial:

The package is pretty out of date with regard to upstream. Perhaps this is 
because the version in Debian works well enough. 
http://www.synce.org/moin/


ppp in GNU/kFree BSD should be a possible thing, but this package probably 
needs testing with it. It looks like the FreeBSD-brand ppp is what should 
be used. 
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-...@lists.debian.org/msg05954.html


I would say the most reasonable next step is to make synce-serial not 
build on GNU/kFreeBSD since ppp isn't available there. The same should 
probably be done to the ppp package.


CC:ing Anarcat in case he has related thoughts.

2010-11-15 Thread Asheesh Laroia
metakit is a library bundled with Akregator. It is the source of the 
crash.


I can reproduce this crash quite readily using the Archive directory 
from http://www.file-upload.net/download-2910539/Archive_old.tar.gz.html


I minimized the details necessary to reproduce the bug and posted on 
upstream's bug tracker forum at http://www.equi4.com/fff/506 .


In that post, I refer to dump -- this is a program from the upstream 
metakit tarball.

Hey Luk, Tim, and others,

This is bug in the c-client IMAP core that sits inside UW IMAP. The bug 
here seems to be, When alpine notifies you that it has gone read-only, it 
still allows you to make changes it will throw away. The appropriate 
simple resolution seems to be, Modify the alpine UI so that if it 
notifies a user that it has gone read-only, don't accept changes.


In a few weeks, I will sit down with a friend and see if we can solve 
this. This bug in alpine has existed since lenny.


However, right now, I notice a user filed 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551900 wondering where 
alpine


I would like to ask you, Luk, if it would be okay to let alpine pass to 
testing in this state. The problem isn't that it has new release-critical 
bug, but that an old bug (as the package was released in lenny) has the 
same release-critical bug.


What do you think, Luk? Can we let alpine pass to testing?

Bug#446332: control flags etc lost in concurrent access

2009-06-16 Thread Asheesh Laroia

On Tue, 16 Jun 2009, Tim Connors wrote:


severity 446332 grave
thanks

In trying to track down why imap accounts at work (using UW-imapd, which
uses c-client, which alpine uses), are getting screwed up when being
accessed multiple times, I got reminded of this ancient bug that still
exists.

To reproduce, open up pine on your inbox, open up another pine on your
inbox, and try to mark something as deleted in the first pine session
which is now readonly.  It will succeed.  If you're lucky, the status line
at top will say readonly, but it will still succeed to look like it has
deleted a mail.  But the changes won't be reflected on disk.  In pine, the
requested action (anything other than appending to a mailbox, which uses a
different locking method, at least in the case of MBOX files) should just
be refused.  In imap, again the action should be NAKed.  It should *never*
be made to look like it succeeded.


Agreed. Are you willing to take the matter upstream? (Is upstream still 
alive for UW-IMAP? I know it's barely limping along for alpine.)


And in my case at home using plain old MBOX access, this is not even on 
an nfs store - just plain old local filesystems, which should not be 
hard to get right (hah!  Have you ever traced through the c-client 
locking code? Furrfu!  At work, it also fails, but of course that's on 
nfs, which makes things more tricky especially given the farcical 
locking code in c-client).


You might think that not getting your deleted (and new, and read, and 
important, etc) flags updated is hardly dataloss, but the CEO is 
breathing down my boss's back because his secretary keeps on trying to 
delete 800 mails at a time only to have them come back and haunt her 
when she restarts her imap mail client in the morning, due to a new 
phone system we have which always wants to be connected to the IMAP 
store.  The user should not be expected to understand that they can only 
connect one imap client at a time, especially when that isn't visibly 
enforced!


Now, we use a different version of imapd at work, but in tracing the 
code, I'm pretty sure the debian package suffers from the same bug 
(since the mbox pine bug definitely exists on debian, pine just uses 
c-client, and imap also uses c-client, it would make sense for this all 
to be just the same bug in c-client), and it'd be nice to at least have 
it fixed somewhere (maybe I can win an argument for putting debian on 
our mail server at work).


I have to say, you'll win that argument more easily if you don't use the 
UW IMAPd. Cyrus or Dovecot are more actively-maintained.


I'll look into these issues in the near term, but that's my advice for 
this moment.

Bug#523516: Upgrading to roundup 1.4.4-4+lenny1 breaks pagination entirely

2009-04-10 Thread Asheesh Laroia
Package: roundup
Version: 1.4.4-4+lenny1
Severity: grave

Howdy!

I just upgraded to 1.4.4-4+lenny1 to fix the security issues.

However, it broke pagination entirely; when going to queries like 
http://code.creativecommons.org/issues/issue?status=-1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7@sort=-activity@search_text=@dispname=Show%20All@filter=status@group=priority@columns=id,activity,title,creator,assignedto,status@pagesize=50@startwith=0assignedto=5
 
, Roundup would only show me seven results.

I created a local 1.4.4-4+lenny1.1 that removes 
19_bogus_pagination_request.dpatch from debian/patches/00list and rebuilt 
the package, and now pagination works properly for me.

I have to run for now, but I think that some quick experimentation should 
allow you to reproduce this. I have a hunch that the problem is that this 
code is suspect:

-self.pagesize = int(self.form[name].value)
+try:
+self.pagesize = int(self.form.getfirst(name))

should it not be:

-self.pagesize = int(self.form[name].value)
+try:
+self.pagesize = int(self.form[name].value)

?

Anyway, upstream's bug tracker is down so I can't check. But this security 
package introduced some pretty tragic breakage!

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?



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



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.


I think this is the best strategy.  Better to hack related packages.

An alternative is to to add gs-common being added to apt's 01autoremove, 
but I think that the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ghostscript.config change is a 
better choice; it limits the number of source packages affected.


I left some more notes on the bug, but this is the crux of it.

Bug#503712: Hack gs-common into shape

2008-12-26 Thread Asheesh Laroia
This bug 503712 discusses an issue with gs-common sometimes interfering in 
an upgrade to Lenny.  One suggestion is to hack apt to not autoremove 
gs-common.


Another is to, since gs-common is a transition package now, just remove 
(etch) gs-common's prerm script by (lenny) ghostscript's .config script.


I think that is far better.  Thomas, are you going to submit that as an 
NMU?  (Merry Christmas!)


If not, I could.  If you take more than three days to reply, I'll submit 
one.

On Wed, 24 Dec 2008, Asheesh Laroia wrote:

Right now, I'm going to try testing if listing gs-common in

I can't come up with a recipe for reproducing this that uses apt (apt-get OR 
aptitude), not just dpkg --unpack.  So I'm at a roadbloack; I can't do the 
experiment because I don't have a control.


I just created a Xen guest for testing this to ensure a good simulation 
(rather than a chroot).  I created a fresh Etch install on amd64, used 
tasksel to enable Desktop, Web server, and SQL server, and waited for them 
to successfully finish.


Then I did:

* (Switch sources.list to lenny)
* aptitude install apt aptitude dpkg
* aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-all

So far, so good, just like the original message in the bug.

Then I did:

$ aptitude dist-upgrade

Unfortunately this downloaded ca. 1000 packages and seemed to work fine 
for me.  One of the first things that happens is gs-common gets removed. 
Because this happens before perl-modules is changed, there is no chance to 
tickle the broken prerm script from gs-common.


Therefore I still see no way to test for this issue with apt(itude) which 
would test the apt-related fix.  I don't know of a way to influence the 
ordering to encourage apt to partially upgrade perl-modules first, which 
is the problematic scenario.


SCENARIO 1

APT removes gs-common in the dist-upgrade.  This can cause a bad race 
between the broken maintainer script of gs-common and perl-modules, if 
perl-modules is partially upgraded at the time that gs-common gets 
removed.


SCENARIO 2

I can verify that adding gs-common to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove 
causes APT to download one extra file:


Get:1 http://mirrors.acm.jhu.edu lenny/main gs-common 8.62.dfsg.1-3.1 [28.4kB]

In this scenario, gs-common is upgraded rather than removed, removing the 
possibility of this race, because the broken etch gs-common maintainer 
prerm script is never run.


MY CONCLUSION

Given these two scenarios, I believe we are best-off by modifying 
aptitude's 01autoremove to avoid autoremoving gs-common.


I have attached a patch to *apt* from lenny (with NMU-style changelog, but 
it's just an explanation of what I suggest; I don't plan to personally 
upload that modified package yet!).


I believe that adding the change this change would adequately fix the 
issue.


ALTERNATIVE

As suggested, we could hack the ghostscript.config script to forcefully 
remove the prerm of gs-common.  I'll email this bug with a suggested NMU 
that implements that strategy.

Bug#503907: diffstat

2008-12-23 Thread 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.

Dear debian-release,

jack-audio-connection-kit has a FTBFS bug: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508114


Fixing this bug and allowing the resulting jack-audio-connection-kit to

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500540 - you can see at 
http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=kdebase that kdebase is ready to be 
installed into testing if only there is a libjack-dev that meets the 
desired criteria.


I have prepared an NMU (attached as debdiff.patch against -1; also .dsc at 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/jack-audio-connection-kit/jack-audio-connection-kit_0.115.6-1.1.dsc 
). Either the maintainer of jack-a-c-k should upload it, or someone should 
do the NMU.


Dear Free Ekanayaka (CC:d),

My initial NMU post to the bug didn't take into account that you use 
dpatch.  I have written a fresh patch (attached) in NMU format that 
addresses that issue.  It's an NMU format so I could write a changelog 
entry to describe the patch.  It also creates a debian/patches file for 
the compile fix for this bug.


Since you were the most recent uploader of jack-a-c-k, would you upload a 
new jack-a-c-k containing the patch in my NMU this?  Feel free to just 
change the name on it and upload it yourself as -2.  If not, is it okay if 
I do an NMU?


Thanks all!

Bug#506264: [PATCH] trivial backport against the Lenny package

2008-12-13 Thread Asheesh Laroia
gnunet has an RC bug in lenny that is fixed in sid: #506264 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506264


This bug is fixed by a simple change to a postinst script, as in the 
attached patch.


I'm CC:ing my AM, to make sure he knows what I'm up to, and Adeodato, with 
whom I discussed this on #debian-release.  I believe this is a sensible 
thing to put into t-p-u and into testing.  I'm not entirely sure of the 
package version number and changelog entry; I'd appreciate Adeodato's 
input on that.

Bug#507021: Update? re: Lenny

2008-12-13 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Hey pabs,

I think the best thing to do is to follow the advice of Ben Hutchings and 
let a 32-bit version of helpdeco be distributed with lenny.  I could 
prepare a patch and try to find a sponsor for the upload, or you could do 
it.  I'm fine either way.  Removing it from Lenny seems sad.


I'm CC:ing my AM in an attempt to flood him with mail (I mean, keep him 
aware of my activities).


Either way, the decision is up to you; just decide and we'll have one 
fewer RC bug in Lenny!

and for the record.. i brought this up 13 weeks ago already. however,
what sucks is:


unfortunately, upstream did re-run the autofoo stuff (20 files for
config.* updates; 80 files for Makefile updates, 19 files for m4
updates) and libltdl (the later makes 53 files changing; but which is
not a problem, 0.8.0b has been build flawlessly on all arches)..

excately 140 files have dos-line break now, but are otherwise
identical.
in diff, they show up as completely replaced files. and theres a dozen
or two which got new line-wrappings (after 80 chars, instead of
over-long lines).


which is a pita to prepare manually a cleaned up diff for 0.8.0 -
0.8.0b to have luk review it.


Wouldn't adding -b to the diff arguments be enough?  Or even 
--strip-trailing-cr.


Just thinking aloud.

Bug#508114: jack-a-c-k: Patch not a total fix

2008-12-13 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Hi.

The sun is rising where I am, and I am tired, so I will be a little brief. 
I tested your alpha patch, and it does not fix all the problems.  Line 972 
of client.c still has the same problem for me: if(ap) is still a va_list 
that is being treated improperly.


I'm CC:ing my AM (Steffen) so he knows what I'm up to!

Is it adequate, do you think, to test if ap == NULL?  I am falling asleep 
so take it as a senseless suggestion.


I'm borrowing an Alpha shell from friendly folks on #gentoo-alpha so I can 
test there.

Hi.

Hello,


Is it adequate, do you think, to test if ap == NULL?  I am falling asleep
so take it as a senseless suggestion.

This is not what you want. You should not access va_list directly, you
have to use helpers like va_{start|end|arg|copy} to deal with them.
The code looks to me like the option variable can be ored with
JackServerName JackLoadName JackLoadInit to indicate what is in
va_list. Same like %s printf for instance.


Ah-hah, got it.

So you should check for one of them IMHO. So in that case I was in the 
wrong line an passing va_list to next function is valid (I was wondering 
here a little...).


Please find attached an updated patch.


The updated patch *alone* does fix the compile failure on Alpha, with no 
other changes.

Hello Asheesh, others.

* Asheesh Laroia [Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:47:24 -0800]:


Supporting new drivers means patching the uw-imap source included with
alpine. I believe it makes good sense to instead patch alpine the use
the shared (Debian-patched not-approved-by-Mark Crispin) libc-client
package and if Alpine invents additional patches for the uw-imap source
in addition to the current Maildir patch then consider applying them to
that shared library instead, for the benefit of php and others using
it, in addition to Alpine.



If we find that some patches (possibly including the current Maildir
patch) may not be stable enough to force all Debian users of uw-imap
and other C-lient-based software, then we could maybe extend the build
routines of uw-imap to package several flavors of th c-client library
with different patches applied.



This seems like more trouble than it's worth.  I hardly see the benefit
at all, actually.



But tell me if I'm missing something.


It is very important to make an effort that the same code is not
compiled from different source packages. That is, if package X ships a
copy of library L, which is packaged separately in Debian as well, and
the configure script of X wants to compile that private copy of the
library and link statically against it, then Debian prefers that the
configure script of X be modified so that X links against the packaged
version of L.

This is so becuase code duplication increases the amount of work the
security team has to perform if a security hole is discovered in L; and
exposes users to unknown vulnerabilities if the code duplication between
X and L is not known by the security team.


Thanks for the thoughtful email.  I agree with the concerns you raised and 
will see about how to do this.


Help is welcome!

Bug#502507: [NMU] Fixing #502507 in cournol: fails to build from source

2008-12-11 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Hello Alejandro, maintainer of cournol,

I'm working on improving package quality, and I found a release-critical 
bug filed against cournol: Bug #502507 is from two months ago. 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=502507


I'm CC:ing the bug, as well as Mako (my usual sponsor; I'm not a Debian 
Developer), as well as my account manager, Steffen.


cournol's build dependency list includes a package that is not in sid 
anymore, so I have prepared an NMU that includes a patch in the BTS to fix 
that issue.  This patch is necessary to allow cournol to continue to build 
against sid.


http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cournol/cournol_0.5-1.2.dsc 
is the dsc link.  I intend to ask Mako to upload this as a Non-Maintainer 
Update (NMU) if you do not reply within a few days.  I intend to stick to 
the conventions at 
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu for this NMU.


I did jump ahead a little and already prepare the NMU, but don't be 
offended by that; if you like my changes and have time to do the update 
yourself, please just re-use them yourself and upload it yourself.


If you do not have time to upload this update, then just say it is okay 
and we will uploaded it as an NMU.  If you do not have even time for that, 
then it will be uploaded as an NMU anyway.  You have about two weeks, as 
per the usual process.


My .dsc source package is available at
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cournol/cournol_0.5-1.2.dsc

The debdiff between the source packages is attached as debdiff.patch.

Bug#504875: Unblock suggestion: libggi

2008-12-11 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Howdy Debian Releasers,

I was examining the remaining Lenny RC bugs and found 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504875 via 
http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php?bydist=bothsortby=packagesfullcomment=on 
.  This is an RC bug against libggi2-dev (in src:libggi).


This issue is fixed in unstable, and the fix is a tiny patch, and the -3 
release that is in sid corrects only that RC bug and the maintainer's 
email address.


I believe that it should get unblocked and go into Lenny.  I'm probably 
not authorized to formally request it, since I'm neither the maintainer 
nor the Release Team.


(I'm CC:ing my AM so he knows what I'm up to.)

Bug#500540: Unblock suggestion: kdebase

2008-12-11 Thread Asheesh Laroia

Howdy folks,

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500540 is an RC bug in 
kdebase that is present in Lenny but not in sid.  The upload from 2-3 
weeks ago of -6 fixes it.  I'm explicitly CC:ing the uploader of -6.


The debdiff is fairly simple, and attached.  The changelog reports that 
this fixes two bugs: the bug CC:d and the non-RC 505316.  The debdiff and 
the changelog indicate a series file added, but both make it clear that 
the series file does not change the actual patch system.


This RC bug is still in Lenny, even though -6 fixes it in sid.

It seems to me that kdebase should be unblocked, and -6 be allowed to flow 
into testing.  I'm not the maintainer or debian-release, so my word is by 
no means gospel.  I'm also CC:ing my AM so he knows what I'm up to.


If debian-release *really* would prefer a 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5+lenny1 that 
only fixes the RC and removes the other two changes, I can work on 
preparing it.  It doesn't seem a productive use of time but I leave that 
decision to debian-release.

Bug#508124: This appears to actually be a bug in M2Crypto

  File /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/M2Crypto/m2urllib2.py, line 113, in 
build_opener
if inspect.isclass(check):

It is due to a missing import inspect in M2Crypto.

It is fixed in the 0.18.2-2 upload of M2Crypto.

can hit Lenny.

ones.  Bug #504050 in antlr is not a Lenny RC bug, since it is sid-only, 
but I would still like to see it closed.  I'm CC:ing my account manager so 
he knows what I'm up to.


On that note, there are two updates for the antlr Subversion repository. 
First of all, 2.7.7-9 was never checked in; the attached dash-nine.patch 
corrects that.


Secondly, I am attaching a patch called dash-ten.patch that can be 
committed after dash-nine is.  It adds the debdiff from the bug report 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504050 to the package 
and updates debian/changelog.


These patches are very simple; anyone with commit access and five minutes 
should be able to review them, commit, do an svn tag for -9 and -10, and 
then upload.


I have written the changelog entry not as an NMU but as a maintainer 
update, under the idea that I'm doing this to join the 
pkg-java-maintainers team, a concept I'm comfortable with.  I'll stay 
around pkg-java-maintainers for at least half a year, although my primary 
interest is Python, not Java.  If there are more bugs I can help fix, I 
may try to do that!

Bug#505445: Core dump

Dear Nigel,

Let me know if you need help with instructions on how to generate a core 
dump.  You should be able to make it if you just write ulimit -c 
unlimited before you run the command that segfaults.

Bug#492933: Releaseforge 1.3 packages fix this for me

2008-08-02 Thread Asheesh Laroia
I just tried editing an existing release and adding a new file, and 
releaseforge handled it properly.


The failures using 1.3 yestereday were due to my test machine being 
totally misconfigured as far as DNS.  I give 1.3 my stamp of approval as a 
solution to this bug.

Asheesh,

I have prepared packages of the new upstream release (1.3) of
ReleaseForge.  Would it be possible for you to test them out for me?
You can obtain them here: http://people.connexer.com/~roberto/debian/

They work for me, but I would like some positive feedback before I seek
a freeze excpetion (and I think that if I can positively indicate that
these packages fix the bug for the subitter, it will help the case for
an exception).


Just tested them.

(side note: new bug in 1.3: It double-lists a few projects of mine.)

The release 1.3 gives me this error:

2008-08-01 22:35:24,827 - ERROR - sfcomm - (-5, 'No address associated 
with hostname')


a few times on the console.  It does claim to work fine.  But it doesn't 
actually upload the other file I put into my existing release.  (Can you 
test it also?)


So no, it does not appear that 1.3 fixes this bug, as packaged in the 
above repository.

That's right.


Your choice.


I never proposed to merge the sources in any way. I proposed to work
together on both of them - keeping them as separate sources and
packaging them as separate sets of packages.



I'm happy with you maintaining the UW IMAP server separately.  The
important question is, probably, whose mailutil should we ship?
Alpine is more likely to get fruity drivers like Maildir, which Mark
Crispin doesn't think are high enough quality to get into the real UW
IMAP distribution; that seems to me to be a reason to ship the alpine
version.

But I'm not set on that.  After all, stability in a mailutil might
be appreciated too. (-:


Maildir is a driver for the imap backend, handled by C-client.

Mark Crispin does not want to offer c-client as a shared library. That,
I believe, is the sole reason that uw-imap is included in the source of
alpine.


*nod*

Supporting new drivers means patching the uw-imap source included with 
alpine. I believe it makes good sense to instead patch alpine the use 
the shared (Debian-patched not-approved-by-Mark Crispin) libc-client 
package and if Alpine invents additional patches for the uw-imap source 
in addition to the current Maildir patch then consider applying them to 
that shared library instead, for the benefit of php and others using it, 
in addition to Alpine.


If we find that some patches (possibly including the current Maildir 
patch) may not be stable enough to force all Debian users of uw-imap and 
other C-lient-based software, then we could maybe extend the build 
routines of uw-imap to package several flavors of th c-client library 
with different patches applied.


This seems like more trouble than it's worth.  I hardly see the benefit at 
all, actually.


But tell me if I'm missing something.

I am fond of cdbs. And am familiar with using svn-buildpackage but have

have a closer look at alpine packaging to get a feeling about your

You can take a look - I hope you don't find them too messy. (-:

I haven't had very good luck with cdbs, but I'm willing to be proven

I think that since they're really separate source packages there's not

Shipping mailutil (and its manpage) straight up leads to file
conflicts with the uw-mailutils package, which already supplies both.
I'm specifically assigning this to alpine because uw-mailutils has
precedence, but you're most welcome to address it in either or both
(for instance by means of update-alternatives).


Wow, that's embarrassing.  I'll release a -3 pretty immediately that 
removes the file.


Dear UW Mailutils package tracker recipients of this message: is your 
version of mailutils as up-to-date (or more) as alpine's, as well as

I pinged you on #debian-devel about this last night, but I disappeared quickly

* /usr/bin/cue2toc and its man page appear in the cdrdao package.
* They also both appear in my cue2toc package.  MY package also includes a
  sample RC.
* It's by the same author as my cue2toc package.
* You don't credit him in debian/copyright (hence serious bug).
* You ship version 0.2 whereas I ship version 0.4.
* cue2toc has its own existence at http://cue2toc.sourceforge.net, and
  updates are moe likely to come out of the sourceforge project than a
  historical integration into the cdrdao source.
