Please unblock package httrack from sid to testing/wheezy, or block current 
testing/wheezy version if this is too late (which is something I am fearing)

As reminder, httrack is a website copier (ie. same category as wget)

The current stable/squeeze version (3.43.9-1) is a bit old, and has several 
bugs:
- random corruption of files during updates (#607704)
- random crash when interrupting a mirror (#657878)
- buffer overflow while repairing cache (#614966)

But OTOH, the current testing/wheezy release (3.46.1-1) also has serious issues:
- random closing of files/sockets, leading to break randomly download of files 
of produce files with garbage (#706535) ; 3.46 and 3.43 issue
- UTF-8 conversion bug on Linux that may lead to buggy filenames and invalid 
filenames in current working directory (#706536) ; 3.46 speficic issue
- memory leak in hashtable, that may lead to excessive memory consumption 
(#706537) ; 3.46 and 3.43 issue

BUG #706536 (testing-version specific) is especially annoying, as it randomly 
breaks downloaded filenames if they contain non-ascii characters, and can 
create garbage files in current working directory (might be more than 
important).

BUG #706535 (stable/testing specific, fixed in sid) is also annoying (random 
breakage of downloaded files), but impacts all versions prior to sid.

I therefore would suggest either to accept current SID version (3.47.7-1) in 
testing, or, considering the very late delay (and the fact that the sid version 
is new), blocking the testing version. The diff between stable and sid is 
important, due to new features (such as UTF-8 filenames handling), but the diff 
between testing and sid is reasonnable.

Sorry for the very late notification  - I have been tricked by the timing again!

What do you mean by block [the] current testing/wheezy version? 
(Removal?)

Adam

No, move the old package (3.43.9-1) in wheezy - not sure this is
possible either considering the late date.

That's not really practical at this point, no.

Yep, seems logical.

Then we can either let the 3.46.1-1 release (and have an update later -
in such case please close this ticket) or unblock 3.47.7-1 when possible.

Thanks!

 Let's stick with 3.46.1-1 for now and revisit which fixes might be
 suitable for a stable update after the release.

Yup, that's probably safer ; current state is not totally perfect
currently (there are still icons-related issues remaining).

Thanks,
Xavier
