Bug#628536: Heads up: update for e2fsprogs intended for stable-proposed-updates

It is now the same as the one created on the build daemons whilst configuring. As Adam said: next time a gentle ping is appreciated. Such less gentle pings are a consequence of the way a part of the release team behaves on IRC, which is also the reason I'm not part of the now forming deborphan maintainer team (although I try to ensure a smooth transition of the package to the team). Without a useful way to communicate with the release team I'm not interested in maintaining a package that is prone to require stable updates due to post release changes.

Re: Bug#620883: pu: package deborphan/1.7.28.3+squeeze1
* David Prévot [2011-04-04 17:14 -0400]: In order to fix an RC bug (broken orphaner on sparc, #618895), would it be ok, to upload deborphan 1.7.28.3+squeeze1 based on 1.7.28.5 in sid to stable-proposed-updates? The changelog would be updated accordingly. 1.7.28.5 additionally fixes #609337 to avoid libreoffice being wrongly listed as possible orphan if --guess-section is used, e.g., during partial upgrades or when using a libreoffice backport. It also fixes a few translation issues, adds two new translations and updates the Maintainer. This was a month ago and the patches are really trivial, there are translation updates, autofoo and: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/deborphan/branches/1.7.28.x/util/orphaner.sh?r1=873r2=874 http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/deborphan/branches/1.7.28.x/src/pkginfo.c?r1=875r2=874 Both bugs should be fixed in stable, the first one is triggering an bug in an other package which completely breaks orphaner on a supported architecture - the cleanup avoids triggering this bug and is being tested since June 2010. The other one is really annoying if you are hit by it. Given that a user trusts the --guess-all or --guess-section option and uses apt's autoremove feature, it could lead to libreoffice and all its dependencies to be removed if the user either uses a libreoffice backport or does a partial upgrade. The (in deborphan's view) unfortunately named libreoffice hit unstable when Squeeze was released. If you are not able to review two lines of code in a month, you might want to consider adding a vote based alternative for freeze exceptions and stable updates (e.g., three votes by DDs and no veto by a DD _or_ an ack by a release team member for stable updates).

75 unreported RC bugs, (mostly?) fixable by rebuilding / could lintian please prevent such packages from being uploaded in future?
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
$ dpkg-reconfigure nana
This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info
See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
zsh: exit 1 dpkg-reconfigure nana
This breaks unrelated software (dpkg-reconfigure -a).
That dpkg-reconfigure -a immediately aborts if reconfiguring a package
fails seems to be a (normal) bug in debconf.
To get a list of affected binary packages:
w3m
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/install-info-used-in-maintainer-script.html |
awk '/[(]binary[)]$/ {print $1}'
Extended description of this lintian tag is:
This script apparently runs install-info. Updating the
/usr/share/info/dir file is now handled automatically by triggers, so
running install-info from maintainer scripts is no longer necessary.
If debhelper generated the maintainer script fragment, rebuilding the
package with debhelper 7.2.17 or later will fix this problem.
Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
Could rebuilding them please be scheduled?
Could lintian maintainers please add this lintian tag to
data/output/ftp-master-nonfatal, although this shouldn't occur much in
future since debconf doesn't create this snippet anymore?
Regards
Carsten

Re: Bug#387688: Add gnupg as apt dependency in Squeeze to be able to solve #387688 in Squeeze+1?
* Philipp Kern [2010-08-15 13:30 +0200]: On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 01:37:15AM +0200, Carsten Hey wrote: currently apt depends on debian-archive-keyring which depends on gnupg. It has been proposed to remove the latter dependency in #387688, this would save about 5 MB of disk space in a sid debootstrap. I'm still not sure if I buy this argument. After all it would leave the debootstrap without apt (which is the current default behaviour, I know). In the meantime apt has been added to base packages for debootstrap's buildd variant. How useful is this, really? My wording was not as clear as it should have been :) Neither apt's nor debian-archive-keyring's dependencies influence the size of a Debian chroot with only essential and build-essential packages installed. I was talking about a rather minimal Debian installation _with_ apt. Two examples for such installations are the chroot environments created by the debootstrap variants minbase and buildd. Let's look into this in more detail: Currently the Installed-Size: of apt and its non-Required: yes dependencies is 12,624 (6,904 + 5,720) kB: apt 5,244 libstdc++61,204 debian-archive-keyring 60 gpgv396 (required for verifying signatures) ¯ needed dependencies 6,904 gnupg 5,176 libusb-0.1-4 96 libreadline6356 readline-common 92 ¯ superfluous dependencies 5,720 By removing the (currently indirect) apt dependencies on gnupg and libusb-0.1-4 and making apt depend on gpgv (or gpgv | gpgv-tiny) instead, 5272 kB could be saved. There are ways to accomplish this for Squeeze+1, how it could be done seems to be nothing that needs to be discussed before Squeeze is released. To save additional 448 kB by removing the dependency on libreadline (of course not by default, but only if the user chooses this) there seem to be two ways: * Build a new package gpgv-tiny, configured with --without-readline. gpgv-tiny without gnupg-tiny would be pretty useless unless apt and debian-archive-keyring remove their gnupg dependency. If the gnupg maintainer decide to build gpgv-tiny, it should IMHO be done after apt's gnupg dependency has been removed. * Teach gpgv to dlopen() libreadline and use it only if it is available (suggested by Florian Weimer in #592902). Using dlopen would have obvious advantages, but this would require adding a patch to the Debian package unless it would be accepted upstream. As explained, the minimal disk usage of apt and its non-essential dependencies could be dropped easily from currently 12,624 to 6,904 kB. After Debian's possible future switch to Tdeps it would be 3,119 kB. There are ways to further reduce the disk usage of a nearly minimal Debian installation without requiring the user to do the work her/himself and without negatively influencing a non-minimal installation. Reducing disk usage about a half megabyte or two megabytes is not much, but many small reductions combined lead to significant less disk usage. An imaginary debootstrap variant 'tiny' that, e.g., would install debconf-english instead of debconf-l18n (this saves 1,516 kB) and gpgv-tiny instead of gpgv, that would not need to install gnupg and so on, could create such a minimal installation plus apt. This combined with the biggest saving of disk usage, having tdebs in Debian and not installing them, would lead to a rather small but usable Debian chroot. What's the use case? The obvious use cases are: * Installation on systems where disk space is limited. * People with slow or traffic limited internet connections would be happy to save traffic when they create a build chroot or similar. Being able to create small but usable Debian chroots could also lead to less obvious use cases being more reasonable than they are now. One possible example is creating an unstable chroot just to run a single program not available in stable. (Still your other remarks look sane, and AFAIK a dependency on gnupg has been committed into apt.) Yes, the dependency is already in experimental.

I personally don't see bug #592068 as severe, and I don't see any other critical issues with the package right now, so I don't really understand the maintainer's dire tone. I think the package is fine as-is for squeeze. Well, I would like to maintain it too, but I'm not sure to have the needed knowledge. I think Mike's opinions are right and I really don't understand maintainer's decision. I would be happy to accept co-maintainers for deborphan after releasing the version targeted for Squeeze. deborphan does not really need a maintainer team, but if you are interested in contributing to this package, you're welcome. Tasks like updating translations or asking users for status files and reproducing their bugs also must be done, so a possible lack of knowledge is no valid excuse ;) Since people tend to run aptitude purge `deborphan` in loops [1] or use similar constructs I saw in the past (including such that to not ask for confirmation), non-orphaned packages displayed as orphans would lead to unintended package removals. Having even the simplest form of multiarch package relations in Squeeze+1 would lead to deborphan 1.7.28 missing those dependencies and thus displaying non-orphaned packages as orphaned during partial upgrades from Squeeze to Squeeze+1. Knowingly causing unintended package removals for those users that use deborphan not the way it is intended to be used (make an informed decision based on its output) but blindly trust it based on their positive experience from the past years is not an option for me nor is it what our users deserve.

Add gnupg as apt dependency in Squeeze to be able to solve #387688 in Squeeze+1?
Hi,
currently apt depends on debian-archive-keyring which depends on gnupg.
It has been proposed to remove the latter dependency in #387688, this
would save about 5 MB of disk space in a sid debootstrap.
I don't see how this bug could be fixed in debian-archive-keyring but
think it should be fixed in apt instead. Anyhow, if a user would
upgrade to debian-archive-keyring/Squeeze+1 without the gnupg dependency
and still have apt/Squeeze installed during a partial upgrade, he or she
could end up with a system that has no gpgv installed. There are some
quite hackish ways involving versioned dependencies and/or conflicts to
ensure a clean upgrade path if this bug will be fixed in Squeeze+1, the
most clean one seems to me to make apt/Squeeze explicitly depend on
gnupg.
Thus I propose to make apt's implicit dependeny on gnupg explicit to be
able to fix #387688 for Squeeze+1 and still provide a clean upgrade path
from Squeeze.
Would an apt upload with the following diff (plus changelog entry) get
a freeze exception? If so, I'd like to ask the apt maintainers if they
are willing to do such an upload.

O: deborphan / please remove deborphan from Squeeze
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I orphan deborphan now since I'm not willing to make the old code ready for Squeeze, nor do I want to have it released with the old code and the new code will not be allowed to enter Squeeze due the freeze happening before I (and probably most other Debian developers too) would have expected it. If you are interested in taking over this package please contact me, I will explain you the issues you need to fix in the old code to make it ready for Squeeze and what needs to be done to release the new code for Squeeze+1. Release team, please remove deborphan from Squeeze for now, it is orphaned, abandoned upstream, has a serious bug (#592068) and has only one reverse dependency. If someone adopts and fixes it, I assume, it could still enter Squeeze again after reviewing the diff by a release team member.

Freeze exception for deborphan
Hi, I planned to publish a new deborphan release in mid August as I did not expect the freeze to happen that early in late August ;) This new release would include a lot of refactoring and rewriting of some parts so that a diff would be larger than the code. deborphan is one of those tools where release often, release early could do serious harm to users und thus publishing intermediate releases was avoided, instead a well tested rewrite targeted for Squeeze was planned to ensure that it does not contain bugs leading to wrongly detected orphans. The missing multiarch support is such a bug that will cause wrongly detected orphans when people upgrade to Squeeze+1 and to be able to release deborphan with Squeeze, multiarch support must be added (the mid August release would have included this fix, the version in Squeeze does not). deborphan has some reverse recommends and one reverse depends, a graphical frontend for deborphan. The would be no issues for these reverse dependency and reverse recommends cause by the new release since the interface has not changed, it has just some new options. I would really have liked the freeze to happen later this month to get the planned release to Squeeze and would be happy if I could get an exception to be able to upload it as originally planned.

Please consider tagging this bug lenny-ignore (was: Bug#507003: initiatorname.iscsi should maybe not be in /etc)
Dear release team, bug #507003 is about a conffile in /etc that says DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS FILE and should better reside in /var. It has correctly been tagged as serious by Steve Langasek as this is against the policy (see bug report for more details). The recent past has shown that even more or less trivial rc-bug fixes like the one used to fix bug #502146 in libpam-mount might lead to more serious regressions, e.g. #507194 (merged with #507199, #507257 and #507592) or #507260. This bug in open-iscsi is not a functional one and the package works quite well (although is against the policy). I consider the danger of a functional breakage through a possible fix before the release to high in comparison to the gain that would be accomplished by fixing this bug. Currently the submitter and a contributor (both DD's) are discussing whether the patch that is attached to this bug is broken or not ... Thus I ask you, the release team, to consider tagging bug #507003 lenny-ignore. Regards, Carsten signature.asc Description: Digital signature
please unblock deborphan 1.7.27
Hi,
please unblock deborphan 1.7.27. It contains l10n updates and fixes
a bug that (in very rare cases) might cause apt-get $PURGE --assume-yes
remove $RANDOM_PACKAGES to be run. The fix is trivial as it is only
exporting LC_COLLATE=C in orphaner.
Thanks,
Carsten

Hi,
please unblock pal 0.4.3-3. Changes since the version 0.4.2-3 in lenny (which
is 0.4.3 minus one simple patch) are doc fixes, an updated watch file, linking
against the wide version of ncurses to fix some issues when displaying UTF-8
and code that prevents a segfault, this code is only run when the segfault
would otherwise occur.
Thanks,
Carsten
