Apparently, packages in the */debian-installer components were being skipped when the BTS was figuring out what was in which distribution.

Hrm; it was shown as affecting testing at T0600 (and all subsequent runs): status-201607190600:number=830267 status-201607190600-testing=1 status-201607190600-unstable=1 but not on the immediately preceding run: status-20160719:number=830267 status-20160719-testing=0 status-20160719-unstable=1 (You can check this out with grep -C 14 number=830267 /srv/bugs.debian.org/bugscan/stati/status-201607{19,20}*; on buxtehude or by getting those status files from the web interface and examining them.) That's really odd; I haven't changed anything on the BTS side during that time period which would explain that happening. Unfortunately, I don't know when the BTS thought that 1.18.9 was actually in testing and not in unstable. I'll try to check out snapshots later this week to see if I can figure out when the transition actually happened, or if there was something else going on in the archive to explain it. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all other possibilities. -- W.

OK. Basically, there's no way that 2.18 will be fixed to work with Guile 2.0, but assuming that 2.20 gets released before stretch, this will be workable. > We can discuss this again later in the cycle if necessary, though > hopefully lilypond can get in shape and we won't need to do that :) Well, the shape that will be required is the release of a stable lilypond release which supports guile.

This doesn't require the CTTE itself, though certainly we could be tasked with suggesting a policy. I'd much rather have the SRMs task a specific individual with this, though. In this specific case, the specific set of changes which have been made, coupled with documenting the policy of upstream for testing and making changes to openssl would be a good start. This is necessary for the SRMs (or CTTE if delegated) to decide, and would be a basis for someone else developing a policy for newer upstream revisions in stable. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com An elephant: A mouse built to government specifications. -- Robert Heinlein _Time Enough For Love_ p244

From discussions (briefly) on IRC: my general thoughts offhand are that new upstream versions in stable always make me twitchy, new upstream versions that introduce features or are sensitive / important packages more so, new upstream versions that do both doubly. and we try and avoid ending up saying no to people, which often ends up actually making things worse as they linger (and we're not doing that well at keeping up with the "easy" requests right now) So from what I'm gathering, this looks like a case where there isn't enough eyeballs to adequately review this particularly set of updates, coupled with the importance of making sure that these updates are correct and don't cause any unintended issues. There was some discussion of whether a more concrete process might help alleviate the time requirements of these reviews, but I think that's something for the stable release managers (and other interested parties) to hash out. If there's something specific that you'd like the CTTE to try to do beyond what I've just reported now, let me know. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Where I sleep at night, is this important compared to what I read during the day?

Re: RC bugs missing after experimental upload
On Mon, 24 Dec 2012, Steven Chamberlain wrote: I was wondering why bug #651636 was no longer listed among RC bugs, in the UDD bugs.cgi interface or on the webkit PTS/BTS pages. It's still listed, but because that binary package is now present in different source packages, you won't see it in just the source package listing. [This is yet another reason why changing source package names is problematic. Eventually the BTS will handle this situation slightly more gracefully, but it's a bit of work to get it to that state.] And I also wonder if this may have happened with any other packages; could RC bugs for Wheezy have gone missing for similar reasons? No, because they still show up in http://bugs.debian.org/bugscan/britney/testing-nr and http://bugs.debian.org/bugscan/other/testing.html for example.

The issue at hand is that a bug in the current version of libmilter which is available in Debian Squeeze (8.14.3-9.4) leads to sefaults of the affected programs when hit my milter requests. Affected packages are: You've reopened the bug, which is an indication that the underlying problem wasn't fixed at all. However, the patch has been applied, and the issue fixed in unstable, and only an unblock or a t-p-u upload is required to fix the issue. I have rectified this for you. You may want to read up on BTS versioning if this is unfamiliar to you. Secondly, this issue is not grave, as it doesn't make the package in question useless or mostly so, nor does it expose user accounts. I have return its severity to important; the release team and/or Richard can of course make the issue RC. Furthermore, it's not necessary to e-mail anyone else but the package maintainer, the bug, and possibly debian-release if the package maintainer doesn't respond.

perl and perl-modules; reflexive dependencies vs. archive bloat
Currently there is a proposal[0] to combine perl-modules and perl into a single package. perl-modules currently contains architecture independent bits, and perl contains architecture dependent bits. FWICT, the primary argument[1] to do this is because perl and perl-modules both require the other to function properly (so a reflexive dependency or combining is reqeuired), and because circular dependencies make things complicated for dpkg and other frontends. Because this is a common situtation, where there is architecture independent data (of varying sizes) which is interdependent on architecture specific code of a particular version, reflexive dependencies are necessary.[2] Are there still tools which are in use which are unable to handle reflexive dependencies of this type?[3] If so, does the effort to fix them outweigh the effort to remove all of the circular dependencies and the resultant archive bloat?x Don Armstrong 0: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/10/msg00226.html (cc'ed to -release, but further discussion should not happen there because release isn't a discussion list.) 1: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/perl-maintainers/2009-October/000799.html 2: The alternative is of course, archive bloat, where we have multiple copies of such data; the instant case will only contribute around 150M (3.1M*(13 archs-1)*4 releases) to the size of the archive, but I've no doubt that there are larger examples. 3: Specifically, where Package A Depends on (B=1), and Package B Depends on A; A and B are from the same source, B is architecture independent, and does not require configuration. -- The computer allows you to make mistakes faster than any other invention, with the possible exception of handguns and tequila -- Mitch Ratcliffe http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Sources indicate that, when arrested, Al-Hazar was in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square and a calculator. US President George W Bush argued that this was clear and overwhelming evidence that Iraq indeed possessed weapons of math instruction. http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

[1] How to interpret those tags has always been problematic in my mind, but I suppose the following interpretation would resolve what the release managers are looking for, and would also work for the bts. *** proposal *** For the purposes of determining buginess, setting a distribution tag limits the bugginess of a package in distribtions to the intersection of the distributions and the version-based bugginness of a package. This means that a bug that would normally be buggy in etch and lenny (but fixed in sid) due to the versions present of that package would only be present in lenny if tagged lenny and tagged sid. For the purposes of archival, we just use the buginess state above instead, defaulting to (testing distribution), sid. *** end proposal *** Does that meet the needs of the RMs et al? Are there any objections?

My brain is at its base, a sieve. -- Miracles had become relative common-places since the advent of entheogens; it now took very unusual circumstances to attract public attention to sightings of supernatural entities. The latest miracle had raised the ante on the supernatural: the Virgin Mary had manifested herself to two children, a dog, and a Public Telepresence Point. -- Bruce Sterling, _Holy Fire_ p228 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Does this also mean that the bug would not be present anywere when the intersection would be empty (tagged lenny with a version higher than the one in testing for instance)? Right. [I submit that in such a case, the lenny tag should be removed if it actually affects unstable; possibly it shouldn't have been applied in the first case.] We should probably look at all the possibilities and think about good defaults for them? We should think about them, but whatever decision we make needs to apply to all of the possible distribution tags in a similar manner. [That is, I really don't want to special case every single tag, because that's not maintainable.] Don Armstrong -- If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that, too. -- W.

For example, would a bug tagged lenny get the tag for Debian 6 when adding that tag? Not automatically, but it's not like doing this manually in a single shot is hard.

Original bug in gdc fixed; binary rebuilds probably need to be requested for broken powerpc packages
The original bug which caused all of these blocking bugs has been fixed; rebuilds probably need to be requested for all of these packages. Don Armstrong -- This can't be happening to me.
