** Description changed: Binary package hint: wordpress I let ubuntu manage my wordpress install and I want to continue doing that. Thus, I don't think the built-in function from wordpress to inform about a new upstream release makes any sense and can easily be counterproductive. Somebody who is not so well-versed with the whole FOSS-process of upstream->debian->ubuntu might well be irritated that the software keeps telling about the available upgrade when "sudo aptitude" disagrees. + + executive summary (as per SRU wiki page, subheading "Procedure"): + 2.1 impact: + blog admin users are instructed to update which runs counter to the idea of a distribution to manage packages + + 2.2 upstream dev branch: + this is not applicable upstream, the aim is to disable a feature which has a purpose but not in the context of a managed distribution + + 2.3 minimal patch + see attached debdiffs. I worked together with james_w to iron out a few minor kinks still present in even the latest versions. To keep the bug-spam low, I did not attach them here. + + 2.4 TEST CASE: + install and configure wordpress in hardy (I think the same thing should already be observable in Intrepid, too). log in as a blog admin. You are presented with a message that your installation of wordpress is out of date and you should update. + + 2.5 regression potential + + low. The patch disables certain portions of a page only visible to wiki + admins. I guess the worst case would be that something becomes + unbalanced and the page would not validate as HTML (I assume this indeed + happened with the patch as it is now applied in Intrepid) for those + users on administrative pages. Browsers are usually quite tolerant of + incorrect HTML. pages served to regular visitors are completely + unchanged.
