Debian 8.4 w/Cinnamon == A BIG BUST!!

[David]

On two different computers, both running AMD processors (8350 and 9370), 
you new release bombed rather badly.  While I liked Cinnamon mostly, 
over performance on both machines DROPPED by 30-50%!  Yeah, with htop 
showing very little processor time being used (except, curiously, 
sometimes Cinnamon would spike to  over 40%), CPU benchmarks inside 
BOINC showed the drops in performance.  With BOINC shutdown, graphics 
intensive tasks showed very noticeable and irritating videos (see 
Unigine demos, 'heaven' and 'valley.')


I wasted almost two days running tests to find out where the performance 
drop was until finally determining that it was solely the new version 8.4


I had to revert back to the standard Jessie (8.3?) to get my computers 
back.  Fortunately, on the second machine, I ONLY tried it in live mode 
so only wasted a couple hours as my backup test.



This won't do, guys.


Thanks for all your work,

David Merchant

the fx9370 computer has an AMD video card, R9 280Xand the 8370 computer 
has a GTX 960, if that helps.



Still waiting on CUDA support in Debian.

We don't. I guess it was 'renamed' because it's a rewrite and the new maintainer
chose to upload it with the upstream name. Oh well, not a huge deal.

I tweaked that and created
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/tidy-html5.html

#827891 should probably get fixed before binNMUs are scheduled.

You could do something like that. Or something like what we do with default-mta
and mail-transport-agent.

Because it build-depends on php5-cli and php5-curl (for the testsuite it seems).

Dear release team,

I would like to update the libdwarf-dev package in unstable. The
current version is 20160613-1, the new version in experimental is
20160613-2.

The update will install the header files into /usr/include/libdwarf/
(instead of directly into /usr/include/). This will make the
libdwarf-dev package coinstallable with libdw-dev. Since both
libraries provide similar functionality, it can be expected that some
users might want to install both of them, which is not possible right
now.

hhvm, the only reverse build dependency of libdwarf-dev, builds fine
with the new version in experimental.

Sure, go ahead. Not really a transition per se as the SONAME didn't change. I'm
closing this as there won't be any binNMUs needed and the package should migrate
without issues. Please let us know if that's wrong and you expect any further
action from us.

Bug#828177: jessie-pu: package unbound/1.4.22-3+deb8u2

[Robert Edmonds]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: jessie
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

Hi,

The unbound package in jessie is affected by #807132 ("unbound-control
breaks systemctl stop/start"). The bug report is long, but briefly, the
unbound daemon can fail to start in several common scenarios, such as
when the "unbound-control" utility is used to stop the daemon. One user
reports that the unbound daemon is stopped but not subsequently started
every time the unbound package is upgraded. This bug has been fixed in
unstable by 1.5.9-1 and is currently marked severity important, though
in my opinion this bug is severe enough to make it unsuitable for a
release.

The fix for this is shown below and is relatively simple, and was
suggested by a member of the pkg-systemd team (Michael Biebl).

I'd like to upload this to jessie.

Thanks!
