Bug#536312: task overrides for stable appear to be updated when unstable changes - no network-manager etc in default debian 5.0r2 install
Here's an (untested) patch that should avoid this issue for the future.
It determines the codename for testing from the testing symlink.
A manual cleanup for the current incorrect override files (for both lenny
and squeeze) will still be needed of course.
Cheers,
FJP

Bug#536312: task overrides for stable appear to be updated when unstable changes - no network-manager etc in default debian 5.0r2 install
Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: grave Tags: d-i The Task field overrides for stable are supposed to be based on the task data contained in the tasksel in stable. However, they seem to be being based on those in unstable, which results in newly installed 5.0r2 systems missing important packages including network-manager-gnome, pidgin, and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg. None of these packages have a Task: gnome-desktop field in stable, and all of them should. All of these packages were removed from that task in tasksel 2.79, which is in unstable. Additionally, pm-utils is in the desktop and laptop tasks, a change that was only made in unstable. hibernate is missing from the laptop task, which was also only done in unstable. Additionally, the kde-desktop task is likely 100% hosed, since unstable's version has been updated for kde 4. I have not checked 5.0r2 CD images to see if their tasks are also broken, but based on tasksel's upload date and when 5.0r2 was released, it seems likely they are. Ftpmasters: Task override updating is handled by an autobyhand script fjp wrote, /srv/ftp.debian.org/dak/scripts/debian/byhand-task. I don't have access to look at what's on ftpmaster, but looking at the patches fjp posted about this, it seems to update /srv/ftp.debian.org/scripts/external-overrides/task with the file from tasksel, and then run mk-extra-overrides.sh in the same directory. Perhaps the issue of keeping differing overrides for stable and unstable separate was entirely overlooked? Although IIRC ftpmaster had a different set of task override files for stable. Recommendation: Fix tasks, on ftpmaster immediatly, throw out all 5.0r2 CD images, and maybe try to deal with upgrading brokenly installed systems? Then figure out how the autobyhand script failed and fix it.. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I don't have access to look at what's on ftpmaster, AFAIK everything can also be found on merkel though. but looking at the patches fjp posted about this, it seems to update /srv/ftp.debian.org/scripts/external-overrides/task with the file from tasksel, and then run mk-extra-overrides.sh in the same directory. Perhaps the issue of keeping differing overrides for stable and unstable separate was entirely overlooked? Although IIRC ftpmaster had a different set of task override files for stable. I doubt that that is the cause as I do remember considering that aspect when we made the change. For that reason my patches also still force a real by-hand for uploads of tasksel to stable. /me looks on merkel... Hmmm, mk-extra-overrides.sh has this: for s in lenny sid; do for c in main contrib non-free; do echo Making $opath/override.$s.extra.$c So it looks like the problem is that that script should have been updated to 'for s in squeeze sid; do' when lenny was released, but that this was forgotten. Perhaps the releases to act on should not be hardcoded but instead taken from some configuration file? Cheers, FJP signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
