Bug#828097: transition: tidy
Package: release.debian.org User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition X-Debbugs-CC: t...@packages.debian.org X-Debbugs-CC: tidy-ht...@packages.debian.org X-Debbugs-CC: rouss...@debian.org This week's upload of tidy-html5 to unstable started an unannounced library transition. Next time, please read this wiki page especially the Transitions subpage. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam Also, I think it was an unnecessary clobber of the already existing tidy source package because I don't think we need both source packages in Debian. Here's my guess at the ben syntax: title = "tidy"; is_affected = .depends ~ /tidy/ | .build-depends ~ /libtidy-dev/; is_good = .depends ~ "libtidy5"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libtidy-0.99-0"; Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
Bug#835170: transition: protobuf
Your upload broke building other packages (for instance, evolution-data-server is currently unbuildable). Could you please apply this patch and push to unstable? Without this patch, protobuf failed to build in my sid sbuild; with it; the build succeeded.

Bug#836157: jessie-pu: gnome-sudoku/1:3.14.1-1+deb8u1
Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Tags: jessie
Severity: normal
gnome-sudoku had a bug where it would generate the same sequence of
puzzles every time the app was run. I'm applying the patch included
upstream in 3.18.3.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

Package: release.debian.org X-Debbugs-Cc:abiw...@packages.debian.org User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu Tags: stretch Severity: normal The attached debdiff fixes a flickering bug that makes Abiword nearly unusable for some users. https://bugs.debian.org/851052 The patch was rejected upstream because it doesn't work for GNOME on Wayland. But Debian's GNOME does not default to Wayland in Stretch. And Abiword is more commonly used on less powerful desktop environments instead of the resource-intensive GNOME. This patch was uploaded to unstable (and Ubuntu 17.10 Beta) as 3.0.2-3 just now. The package was uploaded with urgency: high so it should be in testing in a few days. It builds on all architectures so far. I didn't want to delay filing this bug in case it wasn't quite too late for Debian 9.2. Sorry for the late request.

Requesting decision on webkitgtk removal from testing, related to swt-gtk
At the end of October, I uploaded an NMU for swt-gtk to drop its unnecessary Build-Depends on webkitgtk. Only hours before the package was set to migrate to Testing so I could ask the Release Team to remove webkitgtk from Testing, Adrian Bunk uploaded a NMU to *add* a depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 (previously it was an undeclared dependency). I responded by opening RC bug 880470 since swt-gtk is now the only package keeping webkitgtk in Testing. This has now prevented either NMU from reaching Testing. eclipse is the only reverse-depends of swt-gtk in Testing. I think it's widely known that Eclipse is so ancient in Debian as to not be very useful. However, it can't easily be removed either because there are hundreds of packages in its rdepends chain. It also is a very big project to update Eclipse to a current version. I believe that the Release Team can choose to ignore certain bugs that would otherwise be RC. I request that the Release Team investigate the situation. I propose that bug 879170 be ignored for Buster and that I be allowed to revert the swt-gtk 3.8.2-4.2 NMU. After ~5 days, swt-gtk should migrate to Testing, meaning that webkitgtk would no longer have any reverse dependencies or build-dependencies in Testing and webkitgtk should be removed from Testing then.

Bug#888802: stretch-pu: package webkit2gtk/2.18.6-1~deb9u1
Package: release.debian.org X-Debbugs-Cc:webkit2...@packages.debian.org User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu Tags: stretch Severity: normal Background - New minor releases of webkit2gtk are made approximately monthly to fix high-impact bugs and security vulnerabilities. New major releases are made every six months (next one is mid-March). Similar to Firefox and Chromium, it's not really feasible to separate the security fixes from other changes. Basically, only one major release series is supported at a time (sometimes, there will be a final security fix for the old series shortly after the first release of the new series, but that's it.) For Debian 9, webkit2gtk is still excluded from normal security support and therefore the Debian Security Team is unwilling to accept webkit2gtk updates via stretch-security to avoid confusing our users. The latest major release webkit2gtk 2.18 was released in September. I am unaware of any remaining regressions in the new series. There was one Ubuntu-specific package that needed to be updated for 2.18. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/1712047 for more details. Generally, all the major distros have updated to 2.18 and there has been plenty of time for regressions to be noticed. News https://webkitgtk.org/2017/09/11/webkitgtk2.18.0-released.html https://webkitgtk.org/2017/10/18/webkitgtk2.18.1-released.html https://webkitgtk.org/2017/10/27/webkitgtk2.18.2-released.html https://webkitgtk.org/2017/11/10/webkitgtk2.18.3-released.html https://webkitgtk.org/2017/12/19/webkitgtk2.18.4-released.html https://webkitgtk.org/2018/01/10/webkitgtk2.18.5-released.html https://webkitgtk.org/2018/01/24/webkitgtk2.18.6-released.html Security Trackers -- This update will fix all current stretch vulnerabilities listed at https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/webkit2gtk https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2017-0008.html https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2017-0009.html https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2017-0010.html https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2018-0001.html https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2018-0002.html https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3460-1/ https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3481-1/ https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3514-1/ https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3530-1/ Detailed Commit Log and Diff -- It's not really useful to provide a detailed diff or log for the upstream changes.

Builds webkit2gtk 2.18.6 is available in Debian unstable, testing and stretch-backports. It has built successfully on all release architectures.

Respectfully, I am trying to do the best I know how to drive this forward. We all want to keep Debian both stable and secure so let's assume good faith here.

I apologize that I do not have a link to a public discussion, but my understanding is that Alberto Garcia (berto), maintainer of webkit2gtk in Debian and full-time paid developer for webkitgtk for Igalia, tried repeatedly to get the Debian Security team to agree to allowing stretch-security updates of webkit2gtk. If you're told "NO" enough times, you eventually stop asking. Based on the work I've done to help maintain webkit2gtk in Ubuntu, I'm trying to help Debian now.

There have been no known significant regressions in Ubuntu stable releases since Ubuntu started providing these webkit2gtk updates in September when 2.10.9 was upgraded to 2.12.5. Here are 2 significant regressions that did not affect Ubuntu stable releases: 2.12.4 did have a regression that "caused a hang in the network process after a load failure". 2.12.4 was released August 24 and 2.12.5 fixing those problems was released September 5 (12 days later). 2.14.4 did have a regression in HiDPI support. 2.14.4 was released February 10. The upstream bug was filed that same day. It was fixed in upstream's svn repo February 13. 2.14.5 fixing that regression was released February 15. https://bugs.debian.org/855103 https://bugs.webkit.org/168128 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/distributor-list/2017-February/msg2.html (public warning on February 13) Thanks, Jeremy
Bug#863915: unblock: webkit2gtk/2.16.3-2
I apologize for not personally trying hard to push this through, but if we don't unblock 2.16.3 in the next few days, it makes the Stable Release process more difficult since we can't "practice" with easier webkit2gtk point releases first. Proposal for initial webkit2gtk updates in Debian 9 Here's my thinking as to how the first webkit2gtk stable update could work. 1. A new webkit2gtk point release is released. 2. Since regressions are generally found within the first week and to try to limit the work needed by the SRMs, we wait a week before uploading to the s-p-u queue. 3. A SRM accepts it. 4. An email is sent out to the maintainers of the rdeps asking them to please test their package with the new webkit2gtk version in s-p-u within the next 2 weeks. 5. If no regressions are reported, the update is released in the next Debian 9 point release. Here's a filtered list of rdeps: https://paste.debian.net/961084/ These updates are also being done across all Linux distributions so I believe the risk of a regression with this process is fairly low. If that process goes well, then we can consider how we will handle the new major release later this year. Later webkit2gtk updates Based on the schedule of prior Debian point releases, I am concerned about the longer gap between point releases later in Stretch's life. I don't think it makes sense for Debian users to have to wait 4-5 months for security updates. Maybe testing can still be done in s-p-u but Security can push webkit2gtk versions from there out sooner. Regressions from NOT updating --- On the other hand, if we do not update webkit2gtk there will be regressions too. A major recent example was Google changing their websites which broke Google login (breaking a key part of GNOME Online Accounts, Evolution, etc.) and the beta version of YouTube. This was fixed a few weeks ago in 2.16.2 (and 2.14.7 but 2.14 is unsupported now). https://launchpad.net/bugs/1687019 More diff info --- The debdiffs themselves are difficult to read. Here are the 2.16.2 and the 2.16.3 updates: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/319531521/webkit2gtk_2.16.1-1_2.16.2-1.diff.gz https://launchpadlibrarian.net/321119967/webkit2gtk_2.16.2-1_2.16.3-1.diff.gz webkit2gtk still uses trac and svn and there's no git mirror yet: https://trac.webkit.org/log/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.16 To see colored diffs, just select the radio buttons next to the 2 commits you want to diff and click View Changes.

Bug#863915: Please test webkit2gtk 2.16.3-2 with your packages for stretch now!
Please test your packages on stretch with webkit2gtk 2.16.3-2 which I have requested to be unblocked for stretch this week. The current version in stretch is 2.14.7-1. 2.16.3 is a new major release but it is also a security release and the webkit2gtk developers try to be careful to avoid regressions in new release and fix regressions quickly once informed of them. A list of affected packages can be found at https://paste.debian.net/961084/ I suggest briefly enabling unstable in your sources.list and running commands like this: sudo apt update sudo apt install gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 and then disable unstable again. If you find any problems as a result of this update, please reply to Debian bug #863915 I do apologize for the lateness of this request, but it seems like it would be better to do this major version bump now rather than for 9.1. My intention is to try to package further webkit2gtk updates for Debian 9 "stretch" until buster is released as the new stable release. webkit2gtk has new major versions every March and September (like GNOME) with periodic security and bugfix releases in between. These new versions are being packaged in Ubuntu LTS and most other major Linux distributions. For more details, see bug #863915. Thank you, Jeremy Bicha

I question that statement. I have tried proposing that change multiple
times to Jörg but I haven't really even gotten a response from him
about it. I believe there are other Ubuntu developers who agree with
the Ubuntu modification and some of them are active in Debian as well.
Renaming the soname without a Provides is a problem because I
understand there are lots of third-party .deb packages which would no
longer work in Debian until those third-parties update their binary
packages. And it's not clear requiring that third-party work would be
helpful here.

I am under the assumption that we don't need to worry about arch: all packages that depend on packages not available on s390x.

I don't see any value in delaying any longer. It's pretty easy to let gjs/s390x back in; removing it has been quite a bit harder. As Simon pointed out, 90% of this work was done 3 months ago; it's the final hard bits that we need done now. This bug's history gives you the list of packages to check when gjs/s390x becomes usable.

I am filing this bug as moreinfo since I want coordination from the Remmina maintainer before starting this transition in Unstable. Perhaps too much detail: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/phodav-transition-notes/10483 I successfully completed this transition recently in Ubuntu 22.10. This transition allows completing a small part of the big GNOME 43 libsoup transition without entangling as many packages. Thank you, Jeremy Bicha

Is the ben file wrong? Please clarify The benfile is incomplete. phodav had an API bump when it switched to libsoup3. spice-gtk also uses libsoup and did not have its soname bumped. It's not possible for apps to link against both libsoup2.4 and libsoup3. Therefore, we need to update spice-gtk to libsoup3. We also need to update libosinfo to libsoup3 since gnome-boxes and virt-manager link against both spice-gtk and libosinfo. Without a soname bump, I don't know how to make an easy ben file for this transition but I need to do sourceful uploads for all these packages anyway (except for remmina which has already been taken care of). I am a team uploader for all the packages. Lots more details at https://discourse.gnome.org/t/phodav-transition-notes/10483 Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
Bug#1016180: transition: gnome-desktop 43
Control: tags -1 -moreinfo gnome-books has been removed from Testing so can be ignored. now. budgie-control-center is fixed in experimental and will be uploaded to Unstable promptly once the transition begins. chatty has a merge proposal in Salsa. [1] And I'll do a Nautilus upload once the transition begins. The gnome-desktop library has a fairly strict dependency on gnome-desktop3-data. This means that it won't be able to smoothly migrate; everything needs to migrate at the same time. This transition is basically complete in Ubuntu. We got stuck because some packages depend on libx11 which is stuck in kinetic-proposed because of an autopkgtest issue which isn't affecting Debian. https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-gnome-desktop.html [1] https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/chatty/-/merge_requests/25 Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
Bug#1016706: transition: GNOME 43 mega libsoup3 transition
Package: release.debian.org Tags: moreinfo User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-gtk-gn...@lists.debian.org As requested, I am filing this bug early but I still need to do local rebuilds and testing. GNOME 43 is switching its core apps and libraries to use libsoup3 instead of libsoup2.4. This isn't a simple switch since other libraries use libsoup. Apps won't run if they are linked against both libsoup2.4 and libsoup3. The transition ends up entangling several library transitions together. My initial guess for involved libraries are: evolution-data-server geoclue-2.0 geocode-glib gnome-online-accounts grilo gssdp libdmapsharing libgweather4 librest libtimezonemap snapd-glib tracker Some of these libraries bump the soname for the transition. Many don't. Therefore, I don't have a complete ben file for all affected packages. I think that I'll do like the phodav transition [1] and try to add some Breaks where an app links against more than one affected library. That's an effort to try to avoid apps being broken by an incomplete upgrade. The Budgie and Cinnamon desktops are also affected by this transition. Note that libsoup2.4 will still be in Debian for the Debian 12 release. [1] https://discourse.gnome.org/t/phodav-transition-notes/10483 Thank you, Jeremy Bicha

If someone managed to install the new evolution and old evolution-data-server or the other way around, they would get the same behavior as currently in Debian 11: Google Contacts integration won't work. I could have evolution have a bumped Depends on the new evolution-data-server. To fix it the other way, we could add a Breaks. I don't know if adding either of those really helps much. I already uploaded both evolution and evolution-data-server to the bullseye-pu queue. If we did end up wanting to change this, would it be best to upload with a bumped version number (3.38.3-1+deb11u2) or just have the old ones rejected? Thank you, Jeremy Bicha

I request that we use poppler 22.12 for Debian 12 instead of poppler 22.08 from August. (This week, there was also a 23.01 release, but it's impractical for that update to be included in Debian 12.) I apologize for the late request. This transition is mostly done in Ubuntu, but completion is blocked there by the Qt transition and some other transitions. This transition will need a sourceful upload for dia and for ipe-tools. ipe-tools is fixed in Experimental. I can do NMUs for these 2 packages. inkscape fails to build on some architectures but that's not caused by the new poppler and the build failures didn't block the poppler 22.08 transition several months ago.

Bug#1029206: [pre-approval] unblock: webkit2gtk 2.40.0-2
Package: release.debian.org User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock transition moreinfo Tags: security X-Debbugs-CC: webkit2...@packages.debian.org I am filing this bug early so that the Release Team is aware early. [ Reason ] webkit2gtk only provides security support for one stable series at a time. A new series is released each March and September. The Debian Security Team backports these new release as security updates [1] [2] The upcoming 2.40.0 is more disruptive than usual as it makes a major API break for the new GTK4 library, bumping the API series from 5 to 6 [3]. This causes a small transition: gnome-builder 43 and gnome-initial-setup 43 are the only two packages that use the gtk4 library. They will both need sourceful uploads. Patches will be ready for both since the upstream webkitgtk team works closely with the GNOME project. [ Impact ] Because the 2.38 series will be End of Life before Debian 12 is released, I believe the Security Team wants 2.40 to make it to Testing [ Tests ] There are no automated tests (!) The person who uploads gnome-builder and gnome-initial-setup (likely me) will make sure those 2 apps still run well with the new webkit2gtk version. [ Risks ] The code changes in a new major webkit2gtk release are too large to manually review. webkit2gtk is a key package. Besides gnome-builder and gnome-initial-setup, webkit2gtk is used by many packages. [4] [ Checklist ] [ ] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other Info ] webkit2gtk generally follows the GNOME release schedule. [5] A beta (2.39.90) is expected in February. A release candidate (2.39.91) around March 6, and the first stable release (2.40.0) around March 20. We intend to do a test build in experimental first. I think it makes the most sense to wait for the 2.40.0 release and not push a prelease to Unstable/Testing. Ubuntu 23.04 will also switch to the 2.40 series by February or early March. Ubuntu 22.10 will need to do this transition as stable release updates. I don't have a ben file since the final soname isn't known yet.
