Hi! The debian-installer team would like to fix a few issues that are still present in the Etch version of d-i. Before starting the work on updating the packages, I would like to get feedback from the stable release managers on those candidate patches: * cdebconf: Fix off-by-one error reading from confmodule Closes: #430108 Simple one liner fixing a few crashes of the installation process. http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47633.diff * cdebconf: Fix a bunch of reference-counting bugs and other memory leaks This one is much more invasive, but has been in the daily builds for a while without arising any problems. It will fixes a few installation crashing due to out cdebconf filling the memory after displaying too many questions (e.g. complex partioning setups). http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47682.diff http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47687.diff * cdebconf: Fix another (large!) memory leak: parsed RFC822 stanzas were never freed http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47689.diff * cdbebconf: Fix reference leak in question_get_text http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r48821.diff * debconf: Make sure that apt status commands and debconf protocol commands under debconf-apt-progress are properly interleaved. Closes: #425397 This one fixes a hang in the installer at the pkgsel/tasksel stage that shows up pretty badly on multi-processor systems. http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/debconf-etch-r2-r2214.diff * debootstrap: Fix bunzip2 path. Closes: #436218 This really simple patch will fix debootstrap to be able to use bzip2 compressed files from our mirrors. http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/debootstrap-etch-r2-r48889.diff Thanks for your reviews.
