Sources vs udeb mismatch in sarge
(note, I'm not subscribed, please Cc me)
Hi,
11 source packages in Sarge at the moment have udeb's in it that are not
from that very source package. This poses a serious problem with the
rebuildability of debian-installer, and so should be resolved before
release. I'll list the 11 packages below with a suggested resolution,
and ask for comments/ack that we should proceed along the proposed
resolution.
First a list of cases where source packages got upgraded in sarge
without the udeb's following along:
cdebconf: udeb's are from 0.72, but in sarge is 0.74.
Suggested resolution: accept the udeb's from sid into sarge
discover: udeb's are from 2.0.7-2, but in sarge is 2.0.7-2.1
Suggested resolution: accept the udeb's from sid into sarge (no
udeb-related changes anyway)
evms: udeb's are from 2.5.1-1, sarge has 2.5.2-1
Suggested resolution: accept the udeb's from sid into sarge
freetype: udeb's are from 2.1.7-2.3, sarge has 2.1.7-2.4
Suggested resolution: accept the udeb's from sid into sarge
glib2.0: udeb's are from 2.4.8-1, sarge has 2.6.4-1
Ew... is it safe to have 2.6 udeb's in sarge? I hope so... Reverting
sarge to 2.4 is not possible (short of doing an epoch'd upload)
glibc: udeb's are from 2.3.2.ds1-20, sarge has 2.3.2.ds1-21
Suggested resolution: accept the udeb's from sid into sarge
hdparm: udeb's are from 5.9-4, sarge has 6.1-1
Suggested resolution: accept the udeb's from sid into sarge
nano: udeb's are from 1.2.4-3, sarge has 1.2.4-5
Suggested resolution: accept the udeb's from sid into sarge
And these three packages have newer udeb's in sarge than there are
sources for:
os-prober: udeb's are from 1.04, sarge has 1.03
Suggested resolution: Put 1.04 source package in sarge
zlib: udeb's are from 1:1.2.2-4, sarge has 1:1.2.2-3
Suggested resolution: Freeze-exception for 1:1.2.2-4
e2fsprogs: udeb's are from 1.35-8, but in sarge is 1.35-6
Suggested resolution: upload a 1.35-8sarge1 to
testing-proposed-updates, which is a version-only change w.r.t.
1.35-8
Backup resolution: get 1.35-8 unchanged as it used to be in unstable
into sarge (but this is slightly hacky, so not preferred from ftp
team perspective)
