Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package packagekit. [ Reason ] Three things fixed: * A tiny memory leak has been addressed * The daemon package now recommends the tools package again, this was changed late in release and apparently caused issues to some people (see the referenced bug) * Many parts of the documentation reference the old packagekit.org domain, which is now taken over by a 3rd-party who is playing ads on it - so far it's harmless, but we do not know what will happen with this domain in future, so we should avoid referencing it and rather point at the right location @ freedesktop.org [ Impact ] People could click through to a defunct website with tracking ads when trying to reach the PackageKit documentation or information about e.g. missing codecs. [ Tests ] The memleak fix has been upstreamed for a while and is harmless, the changed recommendation restores previous behavior, and the documentation changes do not have any behavioral change. [ Risks ] Very low, as the only functional change is adding a missing free() for a memory leak fix, every other change is either purely in the documentation or restores previously tested behavior. [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing Thank you! unblock packagekit/1.2.6-5
