Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 =====================================
Up-to-date version on http://master.debian.org/~joey/2.2r3/ I'm still preparing 2.2r3 and will send reports so people can actually comment on it. I'm sortof responsible for this release, however Anthony Towns has to give the final approval. I, however, can and will try to make his work as easy as possible in the hope to get the next release out real soon now. This mail hopefully is the last status mail that I have to send out before 2.2r3 gets released. Please check the section "Further investigation" careful and issue a recompile for missing architectures. My requirements for packages to go into stable: 1. The package fixes a security problem. Quite helpful would be an advisory issued by the Security Team already. 2. The package fixes a critical bug which can lead into data loss, data corruption or an overly broken system. 3. The stable version of the package is not installable at all due to broken or unmet dependencies or broken installation scripts 4. The package gets all architectures in stable in sync. 5. All released architectures have to be in sync. Packages that I probably reject: . Package that fixes non-critical bugs . Misplaced uploads, i.e. packages that were uploaded to 'stable unstable' . Packages that are out of sync Accepted packages ----------------- These packages should make it into stable. acroread updates 4.05-3 i386 Anthony Fok says: Since multiple users have filed bugs against the NLS problem, it is safe to assume that this problem affects a significant minority of all users,. (PDF files often undisplayable or unprintable without the fix unless they manually set LANG=C or something like that...) So 4.05-3 does indeed: fix an "important" bug that inconvenience quite a few users; or for newbie users, they don't even know how to fix it with LANG=C... Changelog says: * Added a line in /usr/lib/mime/packages/acroread to force Netscape use the Acroread PDF plugin. Thanks to Thibaut Cousin for reporting the bug and and to fellow Debian developer Ryan Murray for providing the fix. Closes: Bug#79333 * Acroread has some NLS issues that broke viewing and printing for international users when the decimal separator is not a dot. A patch is applied to the acroread wrapper script to set LC_NUMERIC. Thanks to Mirek, Serge Gavrilov, Sebastien Cabot for their bug reports, and special thanks to Florian Siegesmund for providing a patch ported from the netscape wrapper script written by H. Peter Anvin et al. Closes: Bug#66586, #66593, #76840, #86473. * Moved /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread back to /usr/bin/acroread. :-) * Added menu hints="PDF". Thanks, Arthur Korn! Closes: Bug#82321. * Acroread 4.05 does support type-in fields for fill-in forms.

Other architectures are not able to hold the release, since boot-floppies are normally out of sync. There are too few porters around working on it. m68k: Christian recently relocated to the US, and no one else is willing to do boot-floppies. sparc: Ben Collins plans to build it on April 13th. arm: Peter Naulls or Wookey plan to build them within the next two weeks. powerpc: 2.2.22 does not build. Dan Jacobowitz is going to build 2.2.23 for powerpc on April 13th (night). console-apt stable 0.7.7.2potato2 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc console-apt updates 0.7.7.2potato2 alpha, arm Get stable packages in sync cron updates 3.0pl1-57.2 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Security Update cslatex updates 1.2.2 all Showstopper Fixed cslatex stops installation (closes: #67214, #69224) cupsys-bsd updates 1.0.4-9 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc cupsys updates 1.0.4-9 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc libcupsys1-dev updates 1.0.4-9 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc libcupsys1 updates 1.0.4-9 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Security upload Packages compiled for alpha and arm uploaded.

The maintainer says that we ought to be doing this in order to be allowed to distribute it at all; I'm inclined to allow that in.

I would be convinced to let 1.4-11 go into stable to get architectures in sync again. However, since -12 was uploaded for arm, they are out of sync again. I'm not convinced the changes in -12 justify inclusion into stable. Changelog for 1.4-11: * The patch by Topi Miettinen to fix critical bug #74976 broke file recovery, but also the :w command. Re-engineered the patch so that the bug is fixed without any side-effects (closes: #77918) * Add explanation by the author to clear up copyright notice (closes: #72021) Changelog for 1.4-12: * Patch by David Douthitt to fix subsitition bug (closes: #73059) * Patch by David Douthitt to fix range bug (closes: #55407) * Move elvis-tiny to /bin (closes: #37571) * Install wrapper in /bin/vi that execs /usr/bin/vi if it is present and /bin/elvis-tiny otherwise (closes: #72889) * Install alternative for 'editor' (closes: #85318) Arm compilation ready for upload on auric, requires 1.4-12 to be removed from proposed-updates Miquel says: 1.4-12 was never meant to go into 'stable', I made a typo in the changelog file. I filed a bug against ftp.debian.org to fix the situation, which was done pretty quickly. Weird that -12 got into the arm port.

Apart from that, it contains an important fix for a long outstanding obscure bug in the signal handling code, and a few small modifications to fix some other bugs. This revision is a recompile of the unstable package for potato (one minor modification to mpzmodule was necessary to compile).

Also Closes: #84353 task-chinese-s updates 0.6potato1 all task-chinese-t updates 0.6potato1 all I'm not convinced this package should go into stable but Anthony Towns is. Changelog: * 'locales' now depends on version >= 2.1.3-17 because LC_COLLATE of zh_TW.Big5 was missing in Potato 2.2r2. * Corrected description of task-chinese-t: changed "Simplified" to "Traditional". Maintainer: Anthony Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A *lot* of Chinese users got bitten by the bug in the locales package in 2.2r2: the zh_TW.Big5 LC_COLLATE file was missing due to a packaging bug that finally got fixed (by me) in 2.1.13-17. A *lot* of users complained that Chinese didn't work in Debian 2.2r2, and we saw their complaints on mailing lists and newsgroups. That is why Anthony Wong uploaded this new version of task-chinese-t that depends on a correct locales package to make sure users' locales package get updated properly when they user "apt-get install task-chinese-t". tcpdump updates 3.4a6-6 alpha, m68k, sparc Security Update Compiled by me to sync versions in stable tfm-arphic-bkai00mp updates 2.11 all tfm-arphic-bsmi00lp updates 2.11 all tfm-arphic-gbsn00lp updates 2.11 all tfm-arphic-gkai00mp updates 2.11 all Misplaced upload, Changelog mentions 'stable unstable'.

Approved by Anthony Towns. Changelog says: * Added code in postinst to rmdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese if it is empty or just contains font.dir and fonts.alias (Closes: Bug#54994). * [debian/control]: Removed an extraneous colon at the end of the Build-Depends line (Closes: #76505). Maintainer: Changwoo Ryu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Changwoo Ryu is not the maintainer of the cmex font; I am. The upload closes a bug that may cause X fail to start after an upgrade. xfonts-cmex-big5p's former life, xfntbig5p-cmex24m, created the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese directory, but never removed it in postrm. Apparently, it was causing some problems for users who upgraded from xfntbig5p-cmex24m to xfonts-cmex-big5p. And of course, the second bug that it fixed, the extraneous colon at the end of the Build-Depends line, fix a "cannot build from source" bug. rstartd updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc rstart updates 3.3.6-11potato32 all twm updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xbase-clients updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xbase updates 3.3.6-11potato32 all xdm updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xext updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xfree86-common updates 3.3.6-11potato32 all xfs updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xlib6g-dev updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xlib6g-static updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xlib6g updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xlib6-altdev updates 3.3.6-11potato32 i386, m68k xlib6 updates 3.3.6-11potato32 i386, m68k xmh updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xnest updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xproxy updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xprt updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xserver-common updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xserver-fbdev updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xsm updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xterm updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xvfb updates 3.3.6-11potato32 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Long awaited security update xlockmore-gl stable 4.15-8 sparc xlockmore-gl stable 4.15-10 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc xlockmore-gl updates 4.15-10 sparc xlockmore stable 4.15-8 sparc xlockmore stable 4.15-10 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc xlockmore updates 4.15-10 sparc Get architectures back in sync. xpdf updates 0.90-8 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xpdf-i updates 0.90-8 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Bugfix, security update from stable broke the packages, this is a fix. xpdf-i is in non-US. xtide updates 2.2a-1 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Changelog: * The Debian source archive xtide_2.2.orig.tar.gz was not pristine and included tidal harmonics data downloaded from the XTide web site. It was recently discovered that some of the data included in the above archive may be in violation of copyright. Therefore, XTide's author removed the data in question from his web site and produced new harmonics files which were included in this 2.2a Debian version. xviddetect stable 0.3-2.1 all xviddetect updates 0.3-4 all Convenience update as an exception. This upload adds a couple of more graphic cards to the database so more users will be able to auto-detect their graphic card. Since configuring the graphics card is still a pain, this improvement should go into stable. yaboot updates 0.9-0.30-3 powerpc This fixes a serious (affecting perhaps 15% of machines on which the powerpc port supports) booting bug. * Use "MacRISC" instead of the entire list of machine types in <COMPATIBLE>. One line change, should fix booting on all recent machines. (Well, one line change in four places). Further investigation --------------------- These packages need further investigation. One reason the package is listed here could be that I'm not yet convinced this package should go into stable, but don't want to reject it entirely at the moment. Another reason could be that released and updated architectures are not in sync yet. cfs stable 1.3.3-7 powerpc, sparc cfs stable 1.3.3-8 alpha, i386, m68k cfs updates 1.3.3-8 arm Get architectures in sync PowerPC and sparc missing This is non-US. comerr-dev updates 2.0-1.18-3.0potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc e2fslibs-dev updates 1.18-3.0potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc e2fsprogs updates 1.18-3.0potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc ss-dev updates 2.0-1.18-3.0potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc uuid-dev updates 1.2-1.18-3.0potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Fix for serial console installs.

Changelog says: * Several security exploits found to icecast. No simple way to patch * old version, so upgrade to latest stable version from icecast.org * If questions or assistance needed join #icecast on openprojects.net IRC Do you have a documentation about said security exploits? That's still pending Is it something different than this one? "icecast" is a server used to distribute audio streams to compatible clients such as winamp, mpg123, xmms and many others. Matt Messier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and John Viega ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) have identified several buffer overflow and format strings problems in Icecast that could be remotely exploited. Our latest update to this software changes the package to use an unprivileged user ("icecast") for the daemon, so the impact of this vulnerability is not as high. Recent distributions (CL >= 5.1) have this package compiled with StackGuard to make it more difficult to exploit buffer overflows. It's said to be. Clarification appreciated. inn2-dev updates 2.2.2.2000.01.31-4.1 alpha, arm, powerpc inn2-dev updates 2.2.2.2000.01.31-5 i386, m68k, sparc inn2-inews updates 2.2.2.2000.01.31-4.1 alpha, arm, powerpc inn2-inews updates 2.2.2.2000.01.31-5 i386, m68k, sparc inn2 updates 2.2.2.2000.01.31-4.1 alpha, arm, powerpc inn2 updates 2.2.2.2000.01.31-5 i386, m68k, sparc Security Update Bdale reports a serious problem with this upload, it broke some functionality.

Gregg Berkholtz says: The following text is from the main [EMAIL PROTECTED] page (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu): "... [EMAIL PROTECTED] version 3.03 is available and mandatory for all supported platforms. Earlier versions are unable to contact our server, so please upgrade to version 3.03..." Also, in potato, the install fails due to the fact that it tries to fetch a now non-existent .tgz file. Ok, this can be considered as reason for including it in stable. However: 2nd Versions are totally out of sync. Fix that please. If architectures are synced I'll add it to the accept-list. New packages are missing for arm and m68k, they're missing upstream basically. Thus referring packages should probably be removed from stable.

PowerPC missing unzip-crypt stable 5.32-1 m68k unzip-crypt stable 5.40-1.0 alpha, i386, powerpc, sparc unzip-crypt updates 5.40-1.0 arm Get architectures in sync. m68k missing This is non-US. xcal stable 4.1-8 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xcal updates 4.1-9 alpha, arm, i386, powerpc, sparc aj: a calendar program getting days of a month wrong seems a decent thing to fix. m68k missing xemacs21-basesupport updates 1999.12.15-1.2 all Dunno why this should go into stable. * Non-maintainer release to fix previous upload. * Another hack in debian/rules to force the .elc files I had to remove to be rebuilt (Closes: #86990). This should really be done in a Better Way, but this package does not seem to provide support for compiling elc files. * Removed psgml-other.* from MANIFEST.psgml. Yann writes: psgml completely unusable as an integrated part of the SGML environment which was announced loudly some times ago; - fix impacts psgml module only, so no impact on working modules Maintainer: Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libhz-dev updates 0.3.9-1potato1.1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc libhz0 updates 0.3.9-1potato1.1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc zh-autoconvert stable 0.3.4-1 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc zh-autoconvert updates 0.3.9-1potato1.1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc Not yet convinced this should go into stable. * New upstream version which fixes a whole bunch of important bugs. * Based on 0.3.9-2 in unstable, built for potato. * NMU requested by maintainer/upstream author Yu Guanghui. * Applied a few other minor fixes which YGH hasn't put in. ;-) alpha and sparc missing Maintainer: Anthony Fok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> zope updates 2.1.6-7 sparc zope updates 2.1.6-9 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc Security upload, DSA 043 Zope 2.1.6-7 indeed had two problems with two of the Hotfixes included, so I prepared a new version 2.1.6-8 and uploaded that to Incoming (target 'stable'): First, Hotfix_2000-10-02 broke some stuff in 2.1.6 (the README said that this Hotfox_2000-10-02 would apply to 2.2.x and later, which is obviously correct). Therefore 2000-10-02 was removed in 2.1.6-8. Obviously, the vulnerability fixed by this Hotfix was only introduced in Zope 2.2.0. Then, Hotfix_2000-10-11 wouldn't work with 2.1.6 out of the box, but since 2.1.6 was affected by the vulnerability nonetheless, I had to apply a fix to the Hotfix. Included in 2.1.6-8 as well. This time, 2.1.6-8 has been tested on a potato system to a moderate degree. Sparc missing. Rejected packages ----------------- Packages that don't meet my requirements alsaplayer-alsa updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc alsaplayer-esd updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc alsaplayer-oss updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc alsaplayer updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc Priority low, no critical or security fixes. From the maintainer: I made these packages before I was told that build dependencies were not required. Feel free to reject, there were no other changes. Maintainer: Ivo Timmermans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> autolog stable 0.35-3 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc autolog updates 0.35-9.potato i386 No reason given why it was uploaded for potato. ChangeLog says: * Uploaded to stable. barcode updates 0.95.1-3 m68k, powerpc barcode updates 0.95.1-4 arm, sparc No reason to make it into stable, changelog mentions unstable Maintainer: Chris Rutter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cfengine updates 1.5.3-6 alpha cfengine updates 1.6.2-0.1 m68k, powerpc, sparc Alleged security update. BenC had already fixed it in 1.5.3-6. BSD sent out an advisory recently which confused our maintainer. (he read too much glibc code or something :) Investigation: It looks like that upload fixes a problem which was already fixed in the stable version of »cfengine«. Thus there is no reason for including this package. Additionally Debian doesn't activate said »cfd« by default, it even won't run without manual interaction (conffile missing). doc-linux-ko updates 1:1999.04-3 all No reason why this should go into stable. ChangeLog says: * Moved /usr/doc/ to /usr/share/doc (Closes: #91430) * Added Sections: and Priority: fields. doc-linux-zh-s unstable 2001.01-1 all doc-linux-zh-s updates 2001.01-1 all Misplaced upload that ought to be unstable only * New "upstream" release, downloaded on 4 Jan 2000. Maintainer: Anthony Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dvorak7min updates 1.4-5 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Misplaced upload that ought to be unstable only. Maintainer: Ivo Timmermans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> freetype-tools updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc freetype2-dev updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc freetype2 updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc Changelog says: * New upstream release, the final version of the FreeType 1 series. * Build for Debian 2.2 series (potato). * The configure options for kpathsea support in ttf2pk has been changed upstream, and 1.4-0potato1 was inadvertently built without kpathsea support. Thanks to Philipp Lehman for the bug report! :-) Closes: Bug#83403. * Oops, I didn't know that debhelper (>= 2.1.0) and libtools (>= 1.3.4-1) aren't in potato yet. Fixed Build-Depends line. Thanks to fellow Debian developer Dan Jacobowitz for letting me know. Alpha and m68k missing freetype-tools freetype2-dev freetype2 Maintainer: Anthony Fok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> g2 updates 0.40-2 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Changelog says: * New maintainer. * Updated description - g2 site moved since last release. * Added dependency on libgd-gif1. Closes: Bug#61124 Arm and alpha missing Maintainer: Eric Cain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gcc stable 1:2.95.2-13 alpha, i386, powerpc, sparc gcc stable 1:2.95.2-13.1 arm, m68k gcc updates 1:2.95.2-13.1 sparc Changelog says "NMU\nAdd new patch for ARM" though this is an upload for sparc and arm is already in stable. I'm not quite convinced we should update a compiler in stable w/o proper need. Syncing versions would be good, but this would introduce an untested compiler package. Philip Blundell wrote: From what I remember, the extra patch that was added in -13.1 is only applied when building for ARM. So the new SPARC version is benign but useless - it'll be exactly the same as -13. I'd be inclined to leave it out. hztty updates 2.0-3potato4 arm, i386, m68k, sparc New package for stable Changelog says: * Compilation problem on Alpha architecture is now fixed! Special thanks to fellow Debian developer Paul Slootman who sent me the patch! Closes: Bug#55251. * An hopeful upload for Debian 2.2r3; hztty didn't get into Debian 2.2 because of Bug#55251. Now that Paul has fixed this "Can't build from source" bug, I hope hztty could get into future Debian 2.2 releases if there is enough room on the CD-ROMs. :-) Alpha and powerpc missing Maintainer: Anthony Fok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> koules updates 1.4-1.3 sparc Security update, changelog says: * Non-maintainer release by security team * Fix trivial buffer overflow in init() code * Change Iconfig to not enable the asm stuff since the modern gcc doesn't accept it However: 1. There is no source 2. No other arch is mentioned 3. On Wed, 22 Nov 2000 22:06:53 +0100, an advisory was issued telling people that Debian is not vulnerable to the koules problem. latex2rtf stable 1.1-6 arm, m68k, powerpc latex2rtf stable 1.8aa-2 alpha, i386, sparc latex2rtf updates 1.8aa-4 alpha, arm, i386, sparc Changelog does not convince me to push it into stable: * Upload to stable to overcome the "can't build from source" bug that breaks autobuild on some architectures. * Add build dependency on debhelper. m68k and powerpc missing, if they are uploaded I shall accept the upload. Maintainer: Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> liece-dcc updates 1.4.3.0.20000829cvs-1 powerpc Misplaced upload, it mentions "stable unstable" it's a new upstream version locale-ko updates 4-6 all Fixing some bugs, but playing with conflicts against libc which apparently is dangerous. ChangeLog says: 4-5: * Added Conflicts to libc (<<2.1.94). (Closes: #72552, #74567) 4-6: * Modified Conflicts to libc (>>2.1.94) again. Because it can cause removing packages depending on libc. Reading the bugreport, having it talk about woody, I'm entirely not convinced this package should go into stable. Maintainer: Chu-yeon Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> modutils updates 2.3.11-10 sparc modutils updates 2.3.11-13 i386 Stable has newer versions already and all arch's are in sync. realplayer updates 8.0.1 i386 Problem! 1st - The version in stable is unusable since the non-free package dissappeared from the real site. 2nd - The version in proposed-updates is fucked up and must not be installed in stable. Brian Russo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has uploaded a new version to unstable to see if it works. If it does he uploads a new version for stable. He can do that at any time. Joey says: One comment, on realplayer -- the version of the installer in stable does not currently work, since Real has released a new version of realplayer and the old version is no longer available[1]. So the package should either be removed from stable or updated. sharc updates 2.1-2 all No reason why this package should go into stable. ChangeLog says: * Rebuilt package. Closes #91065, #91654 trueprint updates 5.1-8 i386, powerpc, sparc I'm not convinced this package should go into stable, sorry Blinder, but we already discussed this... Small chance: aj has the final say. Changelog says: * fixed a typo in the config file which causes the program to segfault when useing the -P option, with which one can specify where to print the output; Closes: #73042; * removed wrong control information: - Build-Depends: lpr | lprng - Suggests: diff * Updated Maintainer field to my official Debian address alpha, arm and m68k missing Maintainer: Othmar Pasteka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wdm updates 1.20-0.0potato1 arm Wth should this package go into stable? The changelog scares me: * Non-maintainer upload for potato, sponsored by Anthony Fok. * New upstream version. Closes: #59945. * Fix package build problems in debian/rules. Closes: #67866, #67867. * Fix 'NoChange' with an Xsession wrapper. Closes: #59621, #61244. * Call update_wdm_wmlist in init file. Closes: #34680. * Insists on PAM fail delay even if getpwnam fails. Closes: #67166. * Disable running xconsole by default. Closes: #56918. * New non-squashed logo from Daniel Patterson. Closes: #48696. * Added Build-Depends in debian/control. alpha, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc missing Maintainer: Daniel Patterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> xcingb stable 2.3.02-2 arm xcingb stable 2.3.02-3.1 alpha, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xcingb updates 2.3.02-3.2 arm, m68k Misplaced upload? It mentions 'stable unstable', it's an NMU as well and doesn't fix any bugs listed in the BTS. xfonts-baekmuk updates 2.0-3 all Dunno why this should go into stable, changelog says: * Added Won-Kyu Park's hintings of gulim10b?, batang10b?, gulim12b? from <http://zinc.skku.ac.kr/~wkpark/baekmuk/> Maintainer: Changwoo Ryu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> xtel updates 3.2.1-4potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc Security update, no advisory released yet Version is not secure yet.
