Hi Paul, Andreas,

Apologies for the slow response - I'm in meetings all week this week
and I'm a bit behind as a result.

The PAPI metrics in PCP have been transitioned to using perfevent -
one of the several reasons for this was to help resolve this Debian
bug.

The best outcome for Debian PCP user base here would be to use the
bugfix PCP update that has been in unstable for several weeks now -
this provides a clean upgrade path for pmdapapi users, and removes the
PCP dependency on PAPI completely.

If we cannot use the tested, stable, upstream bugfix update provided
earlier due to the release constraints, please go ahead and NMU as
needed Andreas - thanks.

FWIW, the PCP development packages do not depend on any PAPI (and
never have) - it is only older versions of the 'pcp' package itself,
which contain the pmdapapi binary - now retired to help resolve this
issue.

Re: [pcp] pcp is marked for autoremoval from testing

2019-05-29 Thread Nathan Scott
Hi folks,

The issues below no longer affect pcp-4.3.2, which has been in
unstable for some time.
According to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pcp this version is blocked ...

"Not touching package due to block request by freeze (please contact
debian-release if update is needed)"

Please consider unblocking pcp-4.3.2 to resolve this.

thanks!

Sorry about this guys, this is the first I became aware of these two
issues.

I'm building on an infrequently-updated unstable, not stable.  I guess
somehow the perl packages must not be getting dpkg updated on this box.

I'm planning to start source-only uploads from the next pcp upload, so
this class of problem should go away.

Bug#686868: unblock: pcp/3.6.5

2012-10-11 Thread Nathan Scott
Hi guys!

  Package: release.debian.org

  Hi,
  please unblock pcp 3.6.5. It fixes several security issues.

BTW, there was a comment earlier saying that 3.6.5 only fixes
security issues - that's a misunderstanding, I believe.  This
was a regular PCP minor release, and included those security
fixes (just happened to be the next bug-fix point release).

I did backport the fixes to squeeze, although I can't offer to
do that again (its time consuming, and I don't have spare time
atm).  Others might prefer that approach, and could take on a
similar backport.  I wouldn't recommend that approach however,
as alot of testing is required ( has been done on 3.6.5).

 The shlibs information for libpcp-pmda3 needs to be updated for the
 new pmdaEventNewActiveQueue function.

Strictly speaking that is certainly correct, and should be fixed
in a future PCP update.  However, this NewActiveQueue function
is for a special/experimental use-case.  From the changelog:

- ...
- Added an interface to allow PMDAs to register event queues
  with existing clients (pmdaEventNewActiveQueue).
- Initial version of the (experimental) bash tracing PMDA.

This bash tracing PMDA is the only code using that interface,
and it is a new, experimental PMDA (only optional to use).

So, if you're looking for a maintainer opinion, my preference
is to go with 3.6.5 as is.  A separate bug should be opened for
the new symbol shlibs issue (a patch would be lovely too ;)

Thanks for following up on this Moritz, it'd completely fallen
off my radar.

cheers.

Upstream have explicitly requested not to link with that as xfsprogs

 You said there were no changes, not that there were no changes other
 than
 those which had previously been agreed to somewhere we weren't privy
 to;
 it wasn't at all obvious from your original mail or reviewing the
 diff
 that the reversion was intentional.

Apologies there, I should have been more clear  in truth,
it was many weeks back that 3.1.3 was uploaded and some of
these changes I'd forgotten about (but all remain valid 
were made with the best of intentions).

I like to think we're all on the same side here ... as the
guy who's being maintaining this package for 7/8 years now,
I still would like to push, on behalf of the users who've
contacted me requesting it, for xfsprogs-3.1.3 to be let
through into this release.

 In any case, I do have a query on one of the source changes:

That'd be part of a bug fix - x...@oss.sgi.com is the right
place to discuss that if you have concerns there, thanks!

Thanks for the input, all round.  I appreciate that some of
us have different opinions on some things discussed here, 
I think we'll have to continue to be in disagreement on a
few of these things.

cheers.

I've had some user requests for this - would it be possible to allow

 It's being held since it builds udebs and we're finishing the d-i

The urgent problem being fixed by this upload is in mkfs.xfs,
which is in the .udeb, and it directly affects the installer;
so it would be really good to get this into that d-i beta1

 Nathan,
 
 I was wondering whether you had asked debian-release about overriding
 the freeze on xfsprogs to get 2.9.7-1 into lenny.
 
 I noticed today that, on my lenny system with a 2.6.22 kernel, I
 couldn't mount newly created xfs file systems.  I read through bug
 465737 and found the workaround (-l lazy-count=0) which solves my
 immediate problem, and I also see that you uploaded 2.9.7-1 to sid
 with urgency high on 2/29.  However, it has not transitioned to
 testing:
 
   * 15 days old (needed 2 days)
   * Not touching package, as requested by freeze (contact
 debian-release if update is needed)
   * Updating xfsprogs fixes old bugs: #465737
   * Not considered
 
 Have you contacted debian-release to request an override of the
 freeze?  Right now, the package is unusable in lenny, and this seems
 like a good enough reason to force the new version to transition.  A
 quick search of the debian-release archive didn't turn anything up,
 but sorry if I overlooked it.  You'll notice I've cc'ed debian-release
 on this email, but I don't want to ask myself since it's someone
 else's package.
 
 Thanks!
