 Matt,

 We have done quite some bugfixing in the last weeks and upstream
 2.6.28-rcX works pretty well now.
 What does that mean for the lenny 2.6.26 kernel?
 Well, obviously when there's a fix upstream we will look at
 backporting this into 2.6.26.
 I've just posted a short analysis of the problem and a proposed kernel
 patch in:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478717#118

 It fixes the kernel crashes for me and should help to do further
 analysis without crashing the running linux kernel.

 The patch (and the problem) needs further discussion on parisc-linux
 kernel mailing list though...
 
 Thanks Helge! Just in case its relevant to your investigation, note
 that this is also an issue when using a pure NPTL environment.

Just wanted to give a short update -
After quite some debugging by various parisc kernel developers, it seems
that buggy TLB flushing code was causing the ruby1.9 build failures /
kernel crashes and we developed a workaround for now:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.parisc/1028

Patch in parisc git tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kyle/parisc-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=378fe7c4cc619b561409206605c723c05358edac;hp=6c4dfa8f8bcf032137aacb3640d7dd9d75b2b607

I assume this patch solves quite some other issues which were seen as well.

It would be really nice, if this (preliminary) patch could be included
in the debian parisc kernel soon...

I'll update bugzilla 478717 as well.

Helge

 python2.4  (2.4.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release (security fixes only).
 - Prevent expandtabs() on string and unicode objects from causing a
   segfault when a large width is passed on 32-bit platforms.
   CVE-2008-5031. Closes: #507317.
 - Remove patches applied upstream.
   * Avoid bashisms in example script. Closes: #489648.
   * Don't include extensions in the package, which did fail to build.

compared to the 2.4.5 release, 2.4.6 has security updates only; all
changes besides the fix for 507317 were already applied in 2.4.5-6.

the change not to include extensions in the package, which did fail to
build was seen with a local build with tcl8.5/tk8.5 installed.

the corresponding python2.4-doc upload just updates the version number.

the gs-common problem

2008-12-23 Thread Thomas Viehmann
Hi everyone,

you have been involved in #503712
so it's been a while since the last activity here.

contrary to Niko's last mail I propose to live with a circular
dependency and
- make ghostscript depend on gs-common ( -3.2 to be uploaded)
- make gs-common NOT depend on ghostscript-x
unless there is a compelling reason not to (i.e. massive breakage would
a reason, that gs-common then will have to stay installed for lenny is
not, the circular dependency in itself isn't, but if it causes
problems...). IMO a single excess package is not that bad compared to
requiring attention during an upgrade.

I will check whether this is a problem for the reverse
build-dependencies and dependencies. For the latter, it would be cool if
 the maintainers of the affected packages,
  Vincent   for latex-make
  Sylvain and David for page-crunch
  the Zope guys and Andreas and Fabio for zope-textindexng3
could weigh in here. I'll look at your packages, but if you already know
whether it works without ghostscript-x or not, it'd be great if you
could give me a shout.

Happy holidays and kind regards

T.

P.S.: When you reply, you might want to drop part of the CC madness. :)

Re: the gs-common problem

2008-12-23 Thread Thomas Viehmann
Hi again,

immediately after I sent the last mail, Sune Vuorela pointed me to
apache2's fix for #390823: They simply remove the problematic maintainer
script.
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?

Kind regards

Hello,

Maintainer: David Paleino

There are many cosmetic changes since -2 (in -3 I adopted it), but most
importantly, in -3 I updated debian/copyright which was missing lots of
information, and fixed some bugs present in -2.

(in -4 I just reverted a patch which caused bigger issues)

Not sure if the case where perl-base is upgraded first and perl-modules

It would mean we'd need the hack in perl-base too.

so Luk wanted to give people a chance to comment before deciding on this
largish fix. I have since privately received correspondence from Leon
indicating that at first sight, the patch looked sane but is doing too
much at once, but would not have time for a more thorough analysis
before the second week of next year.
I would really like to see a working djvulibre-plugin in lenny, so I
wonder what the plan should be. Please also add other djvulibre bugs to
fix in a t-p-u upload if you so desire.

Kind regards

T.

lenny removal requests

2008-12-23 Thread Thomas Viehmann
Hi,

so here are three RC bugs with maintainers clearly indicating that they
don't want the buggy packages to release and none look like they will be
fixed. The package do not have reverse dependencies, so they seem to be
good for removal.

xml2rfc #506652
  The maintainer Florian Weimer:
  This means we shouldn't release the current xml2rfc version with
  lenny.

mailscanner #506353
  The maintainer Simon Walter writes:
In the current state the package should not be part of
the lenny release.
I'm in no position to fix all this. I'm not familiar enough with
the MailScanner sourcecode and I'm not able to test the changes I
would have to make, in particular to all the virusscanner scripts.
  upstream apparently does not seem to, let's say, consider the tempfile
  vulnerability a bug and does not seem to want to fix it.

helpdeco #507021
  The maintainer Paul Wise writes:
  Based on the issues I found and fixed in upstream SVN last year with
  the zzuf input fuzzer, I don't think the current version should be
  allowed into lenny on any architecture

Kind regards

T.

leafnode 1.11.7-rc1-10

2008-12-23 Thread Mark Brown
I recently uploaded Leafnode 1.11.7-rc1-10 to unstable with the only
change being an update to the Spanish Debconf template translations.
It's not possible to migrate this to testing since Leafnode depends on
pcre3 which has had a shlibs bump and a new upstream release between
testing and unstable - is it OK to do a t-p-u upload for this?

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.

Re: permission to upload hdparm

 This change is OK from the release team's POV. d-i people should ACK it,
