That sounds good. So, Yugui, can you do anything for this issue on the machines that listed above? (or needs to call for ruby-hppa maintainers on ruby-dev? I think people who maintain ruby on ia64 or something would be interested).

status of ruby1.9 on hppa
Dear Security team, we need your input on the ruby1.9/hppa situation (documented in #478717). Problem: Ruby 1.9 is the current "development" version of Ruby. It is supposed to become the "stable" version in december. It works well on all arches except hppa. ruby1.9 isn't autobuildable on lenny: it triggers a kernel issue, likely to be caused by hppa's partial NPTL support. The result is a few kernel backtraces, and sometimes a kernel panic. Current status: ruby1.9 is in lenny. It is likely that the current (outdated) version was hand-built by a porter. It is possible to build the current unstable version using a 2.6.22.19 kernel. (that has been done, but the version hasn't been uploaded so far). Possible solutions: (A) accept the hand-built packages into lenny. When a security update for ruby1.9 will be necessary, that update will have to be hand-built on hppa, on a machine with a suitable kernel. (B) drop ruby1.9 on hppa. That requires NMUing a dozen of packages that depend or build-depend on ruby1.9, including rrdtool, to either drop the dependancy on ruby1.9 on hppa, or drop it completely on all arches. (C) drop hppa as a release arch. After all, there are no active porter except people willing to provide access to systems (which is nice, but clearly not enough to keep hppa in a reasonable state), no developer-accessible machine admined by DSA, a 2.6.26 SMP kernel that doesn't boot, etc. == Relevant threads: on -release, with list of packages that would need to be NMUed: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/07/msg00298.html subthread about the kernel issues: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/07/msg00391.html on -hppa, about releasing lenny with hppa (or not): http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2008/07/msg00044.html So, security team, what do you want? In the meantime, I'll start to implement (A) (ie, uploading an hand-built ruby1.9, and the other missing ruby packages on hppa). This is not a regression from the the current situation (outdated ruby1.9 packages that can crash the buildd anyway). -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Of course this work is not targeted to lenny. cheers, Domenico -[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://www.dandreoli.com/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Given that there's still ruby1.8 on hppa, this seems like the best solution. > (C) drop hppa as a release arch.

Given that Debian's the only distribution supporting hppa, dropping it seems not IMHO right, but should be reconsidered if things don't improve until Squeeze.

Someone just suggested that too. I don't know if I should care about ruby1.9 or things that depend on it since I'm not aware of any dependency. hth, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
