I just noticed that util-linux 2.12p-4 is now in testing - somewhat
unexpectedly for me, since the last discussion on -release seemed to
conclude that updating it was out of question.
loop-aes-utils 2.12p-4 has been held out of testing as it depends
on versions of mount (=2.12p-1) that use libblkid, which I added in
order to keep both packages synced for sarge.
The difference now in upstream versions between util-linux and
loop-aes-utils is suboptimal for a number of reasons:
- Bugs fixed in mount between 2.12a and 2.12p resurface if users
install loop-aes-utils 2.12a-3
- Security updates are probably complicated by having two different
upstream versions of setuid /bin/mount.
- Translations from util-linux-locales 2.12p may not apply to the
code from 2.12a.
loop-aes-utils 2.12p-4 is the same as the mount parts of util-linux
2.12p-4, modulo the loop-AES patch. It should be identical to it in
terms of non-crypto bugs and features.
The current version has been in unstable for 47 days with no bugs
reported against it, and for above reasons, I would like to ask you
to make a freeze exception for this package.
Yes, given that this was only blocked by util-linux before, I'm going to go
ahead and push it in.
Thanks,
