Bug#863031: RM: nikola/7.6.4-1
Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: rm The current version in stable is almost 2 years old. Bug#801796 has been tracking the requests for new versions to be packaged. However, the maintainer hasn't engaged. Upstream co-maintainer Chris Warrick has made it clear in #801796 that they'd rather not have nikola in Debian, than an ancient version that annoys people and causes them spurious bug reports. Given how nobody has put in any work on nikola in almost 2 years, I think we should have the decency to remove the package from stretch and sid before the release. nikola has no reverse dependencies, so… -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital GPG signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/sig-policy/999bbcc4/current)

also sprach Ivo De Decker iv...@debian.org [2015-01-14 21:58 +0100]: I'm reluctant to allow this, as this essentially means dumping this new version into jessie untested. I would prefer if it was just uploaded to unstable (reverting the new upstream version there), to allow it to be tested there, and migrate to jessie that way. If there is a good reason why this isn't possible (if it introduces other issues in unstable by doing this), please explain why and I'll consider allowing a t-p-u upload. It's my understanding that unstable contains a fixed non-new upstream version which could migrate to jessie now. Christian would still like to get p3 into jessie, but I agree that this should not happen without testing. So how about unblocking p2-1.1 and letting it into jessie, then uploading p3-1 to unstable and revisiting the issue in a few days? In the unlikely event that we need to push p2-1.2 or p2-2 to jessie, we would need to use t-p-u to bypass unstable. -- .''`. martin f. krafft madduck@d.o @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/sig-policy/999bbcc4/current)

Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock Please unblock package reclass There's been a bit of difficulty relating to the 1.4 upload to unstable prior to the freeze resulting from another developer uploading an NMU (1.3-2) that was required for another package (boxer-data), which first needed to migrate to testing before we could finally push 1.4-1. And then it turned out that 1.4-1 had a bug, which we fixed by reverting the change upstream, resulting in 1.4.1-1, which missed the freeze window.

As you well know, the freeze isn't a hard freeze, so considerations like yours are in order, but there is no categorical reasoning against newer upstreams. Nobody yet knows how long the freeze will last, so it might be worth now to expend the effort to put in there a version of Git you are ready to support for 2–3 years. The only risky bits from “git log --first-parent maint-1.7.1..maint” I could find: Of the issues you identify, none look critical. I'd say the by/log-follow feature could/should go in together with the fix, but that's diverting from upstream. jk/url-decode might be good with the patch in pu, but the others aren't necessary, and you'll be best off reverting them.

Re: Bits from the release team and request for discussion
also sprach Holger Levsen hol...@layer-acht.org [2009.08.03.1047 +0200]: In the next announcement, I strongly suggest you approach this point. If you are syncing with Ubuntu LTS, then I suggest you state the reasons for doing so, e.g. that Canonical has agreed to provide security upgrades for squeeze). Oh, did they? That was just one possible outcome/example. Hope this helps, I dont think so. You made it sound as if Debian would follow Ubuntu or Marks wishes, and that Ubuntu/Canonical has committed to support Debian. AFAIK, we dont and they dont. I phrased it badly then. It's exactly points like this which need to be addressed explicitly: why are we doing this?

It needs to be marked as /fixed/ in 2.6.9-3, rather than notfound. notfound simply removes the version from the list of versions in which the bug has been explicitly marked as present; it has no effect on the changelog parsing so 2.6.9-3 is still believed to contain the bug.

(closes: #498505, #499643, #496334)
Again, many thanks to Neil Brown for being such an awesome upstream.
* Documentation updates:
- Actually install David Pashley's blog post added in 2.6.7.1-1, and
register it with doc-base.
- Update md.txt to version 2.6.26 (the lenny kernel).
- Add a dump of a website detailing md superblock formats.
- Register FAQ, md.txt, RAID5-vs-RAID10, README.recipes with doc-base
- Cherry-picked UID/UUID typo in mdadm.conf(5) manpage fix (commit
0e69da7) (closes: #506245).
* Added Italian debconf translation; thanks Luca Monducci (closes: #506572).

The package was uploaded before the freeze but had to go through the NEW queue, and with DebConf etc., that was delayed for a while. Joerg also spotted a small licence problem, which I fixed immediately during DebConf and thus reuploaded it. ttf-aenigma provides 465 truetype fonts, and Philip and myself spent a good 3-4 months to get the package into shape for Debian, convincing upstream to let us distribute it in a Free fashion.

netconf lenny: possible freeze exception?
Hi release team, With the planned freeze in July but it looks like I won't be able to get netconf into testing before August - unless of course a GSoC student or other people help out. Unfortunately, this means that netconf could not be made default in Debian before lenny+3. I'd much rather be able to aim for lenny+2, though. I would thus like to ask whether it would be possible to get a tentative freeze exception. netconf is a new package without reverse dependencies. In as such, I cannot see any technical reasons against a freeze exception, but I may of course be wrong. Having already talked to Andi on IRC, I understand that you have reservations about making exceptions during the freeze. This is why I bring up the issue now already, in the hope that it won't need an exception anymore by the time August comes around.

Really 2.6.18?

Do we really want to release 2.6.18 with etch? If I alone am already able to identify two hard kernel freezes, there must be plenty others, no? Do we want to lock out users into 2.6.18 with its bugs?

permission to upload mdadm 2.5.5
mdadm upstream is releasing 2.5.5 really soon now, and it fixes #393314 (FTBFS on sparc/ia64/arm). I've closely cooperated on both 2.5.4 and 2.5.5. All patches between 2.5.3 (which is currently in testing) and 2.5.5 are true bug fixes and no drastic changes have been introduced which would affect the use of mdadm by d-i.

Finally, we give the user easy-to-use tools to install these keys, and proper error messages from APT that will make it obvious what to do.

From Erich Schubert's blog: SELinux is an [official release goal for etch][1]. [1]: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel- announce/2006/05/msg00015.html However, we're currently far from that. So far, very few developers are actually using SELinux (if any), or even testing it. I won't be doing anything on SELinux for the next 6 weeks at least, more likely 6 months.

I know from discussions with Manoj that it's basically just three or four people working on it. While I am very interested in SELinux and use it myself (but don't have much time available either, unfortunately), I think it's *much* more important that we do meet our release schedule and I'd thus rather see this release goal dropped than our release delayed.

Rationale for PDF removal: plain text and HTML documentation are enough, and PDF documentation is available from the upstream website. (closes: Bug#310246) * Added README.pdf to refer to the upstream website PDF documentation to the two -doc packages. * Removed unneeded passivetex build dependency. * Added build dependency on w3m for plain text documentation generation from HTML. eb7a7a1d759319b295168bd38193fedd 797 admin extra adduser-ng_0.1.2-1.1.dsc b245a02962dfe354055888530f6e0a64 70446 admin extra adduser-ng_0.1.2-1.1.tar.gz -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?

libcwd/non-free
I am not sure what the status is on non-free packages, but libcwd has really not been treated nicely: 220 days old (needed 10 days) I have requested it to be built several times and for architectures to be masked (or whatever that was called), but have been ignored apparently. Since non-free will also have a sarge component and 0.99.37 has many critical bugs that 0.99.39 fixes, I herewith request for libcwd to be hinted for inclusion, and if it's only i386. The library was designed for i386 only, but so far, I have not been able to get it to break on other architectures. Thus, the other architectures have been left in, but I would be satisfied if it at least came for i386. Thanks for your consideration. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
