Release plans? Bits from the RMs?

[Christian Perrier]

(-release is not a discussion list, therefore setting followup to
-devel)

Dear release managers,

I feel like being in the dark right now. And I feel like I'm not alone...

When it comes at RC bugs, it seems like the best efforts have been
done and the remaining are probably either:
- packages to remove
- things to tag "lenny-ignore"

So, it seems that not much is happening anymore and everybody is in
"wait" mode in the project.

D-I RC2 progress is slow (low availability from otavio, low resources
in general) but will come, hopefully before the end of the month.

So, what's the status now?

Are we waiting for the vote about the freeness of each and every bit
in Debian (ooops, my opinion about that issue leaked)?

Are we waiting for something else?

Are we all sleeping (the traffic on the mailing lists is low...the bug
report rate is *very* low)?

I suggest posting a "bit from the RM" report, if possible...

We/I don't expect you guys to do all the work, but more give us the
directions to go if we want the damn lenny to be released

nast unblock request

[Ryan Niebur]

Hi,

I'd like you to consider allowing nast 0.2.0-5 into Lenny. It fixes an
important bug that makes it useless on some systems (like mine..),
fixes buffer overflows, and has some documentation fixes/improvements.

Thanks,
Ryan

Please unblock dietlibc-0.31-1.1

[Micah Anderson]

 
Hello,

Due to namespace virtualization changes in the newer kernels that are
now in Lenny, there were changes that were made to util-vserver to
support the new mechanisms for unmounting and cleanup in guests (because
the chroot barrier is being faded out in favor of the new namespace and
pivot_root). 

These were fixed in the version of util-vserver that has a hint to
transition into lenny (-5), but it is not transitioning due to a build
failure on alpha and ia64. This is a build-regression for util-vserver,
which used to build on these architectures, but refuses now. Because of
these two architectures not building, its holding back the important
transition of util-vserver to Lenny.

Fortunately, the fix to dietlibc is relatively easy, I've got a patch
and tested it on all the different architectures, and have NMU'd (with
the maintainer, Gerrit Pape's approval), but it needs to be let into
Lenny so util-vserver can build against it.

So, if you wouldn't mind making a hint for 0.31-1.1 of dietlibc to
transition into Lenny, the diff is quite small, and is below:

kdebase is not a problem [1], b0rked jack-audio-connection-kit [2] on alpha is 
the problem. I strongly believe that 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6 could be unlocked as is 
if jack wasn't blocking it.

I was not clear in the original mail, excuse the noise: 0.18.2-2 in sid

Unblock suggestion: m2crypto

[Asheesh Laroia]

Howdy again Debian Releasers,

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508124 is indicated as a 
lenny+sid RC bug.  This is a duplicate of #484364 (by the time you see 
this, I will have merged them).


python-m2crypto 0.18.2-1 has a critical bug that it is missing an import. 
The attached debdiff fixes this and one other housekeeping issue.  As it 
is a tiny patch, and it fixes a release-critical bug, I believe it is 
appropriate to be allowed to flow into Lenny.


I'm explicitly CC:ing the maintainer of python-m2crypto and my AM, so they 
both clearly know what I'm up to.


As always with my "unblock suggestions," I'm not the maintainer nor 
Debian-Release, so this is just a suggestion.  But I do think it is the 
right course of action.

Unblock suggestion: libggi

[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=both&sortby=packages&fullcomment=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.)

Unblock suggestion: kdebase

[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.
