Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3
=====================================
Up-to-date version on http://master.debian.org/~joey/2.2r3/
I'm still preparing 2.2r3 and will send reports so people can actually
comment on it. I'm sortof responsible for this release, however
Anthony Towns has to give the final approval. I, however, can and
will try to make his work as easy as possible in the hope to get the
next release out real soon now.
This mail hopefully is the last status mail that I have to send out
before 2.2r3 gets released. Please check the section "Further
investigation" careful and issue a recompile for missing
architectures.
My requirements for packages to go into stable:
1. The package fixes a security problem. Quite helpful would be an
advisory issued by the Security Team already.
2. The package fixes a critical bug which can lead into data loss,
data corruption or an overly broken system.
3. The stable version of the package is not installable at all due to
broken or unmet dependencies or broken installation scripts
4. The package gets all architectures in stable in sync.
5. All released architectures have to be in sync.
Packages that I probably reject:
. Package that fixes non-critical bugs
. Misplaced uploads, i.e. packages that were uploaded to 'stable unstable'
. Packages that are out of sync
Accepted packages
-----------------
These packages should make it into stable.
acroread updates 4.05-3 i386
Anthony Fok says: Since multiple users have filed bugs against
the NLS problem, it is safe to assume that this problem
affects a significant minority of all users,. (PDF files
often undisplayable or unprintable without the fix unless they
manually set LANG=C or something like that...) So 4.05-3 does
indeed: fix an "important" bug that inconvenience quite a
few users; or for newbie users, they don't even know how to
fix it with LANG=C...
Changelog says:
* Added a line in /usr/lib/mime/packages/acroread to force Netscape
use the Acroread PDF plugin. Thanks to Thibaut Cousin for
reporting the bug and and to fellow Debian developer Ryan Murray
for providing the fix. Closes: Bug#79333
* Acroread has some NLS issues that broke viewing and printing for
international users when the decimal separator is not a dot.
A patch is applied to the acroread wrapper script to set LC_NUMERIC.
Thanks to Mirek, Serge Gavrilov, Sebastien Cabot for their bug reports,
and special thanks to Florian Siegesmund for providing a patch ported
from the netscape wrapper script written by H. Peter Anvin et al.
Closes: Bug#66586, #66593, #76840, #86473.
* Moved /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread back to /usr/bin/acroread. :-)
* Added menu hints="PDF". Thanks, Arthur Korn! Closes: Bug#82321.
* Acroread 4.05 does support type-in fields for fill-in forms.
Closes: Bug#36451.

boot-floppies updates 2.2.22 all
Install, uses an updated kernel and other improvements.
Other architectures are not able to hold the release, since
boot-floppies are normally out of sync. There are too few
porters around working on it.
m68k: Christian recently relocated to the US, and no one else
is willing to do boot-floppies.
sparc: Ben Collins plans to build it on April 13th.
arm: Peter Naulls or Wookey plan to build them within the next
two weeks.
powerpc: 2.2.22 does not build. Dan Jacobowitz is going to
build 2.2.23 for powerpc on April 13th (night).

aj: It's actually non-free, not contrib. The maintainer says
that we ought to be doing this in order to be allowed to
distribute it at all; I'm inclined to allow that in. (In any
event, it's non-free, so it doesn't much matter if it breaks
things)

elvis-tiny updates 1.4-12 arm
ACCEPT: 1.4-11
REJECT: 1.4-12
Versions completely out of sync.
I would be convinced to let 1.4-11 go into stable to get
architectures in sync again. However, since -12 was uploaded
for arm, they are out of sync again. I'm not convinced the
changes in -12 justify inclusion into stable.
Changelog for 1.4-11:
* The patch by Topi Miettinen to fix critical bug #74976 broke
file recovery, but also the :w command. Re-engineered the patch
so that the bug is fixed without any side-effects (closes: #77918)
* Add explanation by the author to clear up copyright notice (closes: #72021)
Changelog for 1.4-12:
* Patch by David Douthitt to fix subsitition bug (closes: #73059)
* Patch by David Douthitt to fix range bug (closes: #55407)
* Move elvis-tiny to /bin (closes: #37571)
* Install wrapper in /bin/vi that execs /usr/bin/vi if it is
present and /bin/elvis-tiny otherwise (closes: #72889)
* Install alternative for 'editor' (closes: #85318)
Arm compilation ready for upload on auric, requires 1.4-12 to
be removed from proposed-updates
Miquel says: 1.4-12 was never meant to go into 'stable', I
made a typo in the changelog file. I filed a bug against
ftp.debian.org to fix the situation, which was done pretty
quickly. Weird that -12 got into the arm port.

This looks quite screwed... However, since many of them, if
not all, are new packages to stable, they are not likely to
hurt. Since there are important security updates to 2.2.18
and above kernels at least most recent kernel versions need to
be installed into stable. pcmcia-cs is a convenience package.

mtools updates 3.9.6-4 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
Changelog says
* The following patches are needed to get mtools running on ARM:
- updated config.guess and config.sub
- configure.in: recognize *-*-linux-gnu
- configure.in: add "-mstructure-size-boundary=8" to the
CFLAGS on ARM (closes: #79180)
All arch's in sync now.
Explanation from Adrian Bunk:
It was meant to go in potato: All the patches (except the
changed maintainer address) are ARM-specific or save (I don't
expect bugs with "updated config.guess and config.sub") and
shouldn't affect other platforms. Currently, any call to one
of the programs on ARM gives the error message:
Mtools has not been correctly compiled
Recompile it using a more recent compiler
(Joey) If Netwinders would have a floppy drive I would be
convinced.
Acorn and RiscPC have floppies.

- Postfix must no longer use DB 1.85 compatibility mode, because that
mode loses the file lock while building a table, so that table
lookups fail and MAIL IS LOST. Closes: #78812.
- Confusing site_hog_factor is disabled by default.
- As required by RFC822, Postfix now inserts a generic To: header if
no destination header is not present.
- postfix sendmail command no interprets '.' as end of message, unless
the sendmail-compatible -i (or -oi) command line option is specified.

Well, I'm not quite amused. I made a diff between the version
from stable and proposed-updates. It's 9308 lines large (271kB).
* To the release manager: -11 includes a security fix to the
tempfile module, which was vulnerable to a symlink attack.
Apart from that, it contains an important fix for a long outstanding
obscure bug in the signal handling code, and a few small
modifications to fix some other bugs.
This revision is a recompile of the unstable package for potato
(one minor modification to mpzmodule was necessary to compile).
I would think this revision should be included in the next point
release of potato.

task-chinese-s updates 0.6potato1 all
task-chinese-t updates 0.6potato1 all
I'm not convinced this package should go into stable but
Anthony Towns is. Changelog:
* 'locales' now depends on version >= 2.1.3-17 because LC_COLLATE
of zh_TW.Big5 was missing in Potato 2.2r2.
* Corrected description of task-chinese-t: changed "Simplified"
to "Traditional".
Maintainer: Anthony Wong <ypwong@debian.org>
A *lot* of Chinese users got bitten by the bug in the locales
package in 2.2r2: the zh_TW.Big5 LC_COLLATE file was missing
due to a packaging bug that finally got fixed (by me) in
2.1.13-17. A *lot* of users complained that Chinese didn't
work in Debian 2.2r2, and we saw their complaints on mailing
lists and newsgroups. That is why Anthony Wong uploaded this
new version of task-chinese-t that depends on a correct
locales package to make sure users' locales package get
updated properly when they user "apt-get install
task-chinese-t".

xfonts-cmex-big5p updates 0.1-4potato5 all
Dunno why this should go into stable. Approved by Anthony
Towns. Changelog says:
* Added code in postinst to rmdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese
if it is empty or just contains font.dir and fonts.alias
(Closes: Bug#54994).
* [debian/control]: Removed an extraneous colon at the end of the
Build-Depends line (Closes: #76505).
Maintainer: Changwoo Ryu <cwryu@debian.org>
Changwoo Ryu is not the maintainer of the cmex font; I am.
The upload closes a bug that may cause X fail to start after
an upgrade. xfonts-cmex-big5p's former life,
xfntbig5p-cmex24m, created the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese directory, but never removed
it in postrm. Apparently, it was causing some problems for
users who upgraded from xfntbig5p-cmex24m to
xfonts-cmex-big5p. And of course, the second bug that it
fixed, the extraneous colon at the end of the Build-Depends
line, fix a "cannot build from source" bug.

It was recently discovered that some of the data included in the above
archive may be in violation of copyright. Therefore, XTide's author
removed the data in question from his web site and produced new
harmonics files which were included in this 2.2a Debian version.
xviddetect stable 0.3-2.1 all
xviddetect updates 0.3-4 all
Convenience update as an exception. This upload adds a couple
of more graphic cards to the database so more users will be
able to auto-detect their graphic card. Since configuring the
graphics card is still a pain, this improvement should go into
stable.
yaboot updates 0.9-0.30-3 powerpc
This fixes a serious (affecting perhaps 15% of machines on
which the powerpc port supports) booting bug.
* Use "MacRISC" instead of the entire list of machine types
in <COMPATIBLE>. One line change, should fix booting
on all recent machines. (Well, one line change in four
places).
Further investigation
---------------------
These packages need further investigation. One reason the package is
listed here could be that I'm not yet convinced this package should go
into stable, but don't want to reject it entirely at the moment.
Another reason could be that released and updated architectures are
not in sync yet.

icecast-server updates 1.3.10-1 i386, m68k
Alleged security update.
Changelog says:
* Several security exploits found to icecast. No simple way to patch
* old version, so upgrade to latest stable version from icecast.org
* If questions or assistance needed join #icecast on openprojects.net IRC
Do you have a documentation about said security exploits?
That's still pending
Is it something different than this one?
"icecast" is a server used to distribute audio streams to compatible
clients such as winamp, mpg123, xmms and many others.
Matt Messier (mmessier@prilnari.com) and John Viega (viega@list.org)
have identified several buffer overflow and format strings problems
in Icecast that could be remotely exploited.
Our latest update to this software changes the package to use an
unprivileged user ("icecast") for the daemon, so the impact of this
vulnerability is not as high. Recent distributions (CL >= 5.1) have
this package compiled with StackGuard to make it more difficult to
exploit buffer overflows.
It's said to be.
Clarification appreciated.

SETI@Home page (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu): "...
SETI@home version 3.03 is available and mandatory for all
supported platforms. Earlier versions are unable to contact
our server, so please upgrade to version 3.03..." Also, in
potato, the install fails due to the fact that it tries to
fetch a now non-existent .tgz file.
Ok, this can be considered as reason for including it in
stable. However:
2nd Versions are totally out of sync. Fix that please.
If architectures are synced I'll add it to the accept-list.
New packages are missing for arm and m68k, they're missing
upstream basically. Thus referring packages should probably
be removed from stable.

aj: a calendar program getting days of a month wrong seems a
decent thing to fix.
m68k missing
xemacs21-basesupport updates 1999.12.15-1.2 all
Dunno why this should go into stable.
* Non-maintainer release to fix previous upload.
* Another hack in debian/rules to force the .elc files I had to remove
to be rebuilt (Closes: #86990). This should really be done in a
Better Way, but this package does not seem to provide support for
compiling elc files.
* Removed psgml-other.* from MANIFEST.psgml.
Yann writes: psgml completely unusable as an integrated part
of the SGML environment which was announced loudly some times
ago; - fix impacts psgml module only, so no impact on working

zope updates 2.1.6-7 sparc
zope updates 2.1.6-9 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc
Security upload, DSA 043
Zope 2.1.6-7 indeed had two problems with two of the Hotfixes
included, so I prepared a new version 2.1.6-8 and uploaded
that to Incoming (target 'stable'):
First, Hotfix_2000-10-02 broke some stuff in 2.1.6 (the README
said that this Hotfox_2000-10-02 would apply to 2.2.x and
later, which is obviously correct). Therefore 2000-10-02 was
removed in 2.1.6-8. Obviously, the vulnerability fixed by this
Hotfix was only introduced in Zope 2.2.0.
Then, Hotfix_2000-10-11 wouldn't work with 2.1.6 out of the
box, but since 2.1.6 was affected by the vulnerability
nonetheless, I had to apply a fix to the Hotfix. Included in
2.1.6-8 as well.
This time, 2.1.6-8 has been tested on a potato system to a
moderate degree.
Sparc missing.
Rejected packages

Packages that don't meet my requirements
alsaplayer-alsa updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc
alsaplayer-esd updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc
alsaplayer-oss updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc
alsaplayer updates 0.99.26-3 i386, sparc
Priority low, no critical or security fixes.
From the maintainer: I made these packages before I was told
that build dependencies were not required. Feel free to
reject, there were no other changes.
Maintainer: Ivo Timmermans <ivo@debian.org>
autolog stable 0.35-3 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
autolog updates 0.35-9.potato i386
No reason given why it was uploaded for potato. ChangeLog says:
* Uploaded to stable.
barcode updates 0.95.1-3 m68k, powerpc
barcode updates 0.95.1-4 arm, sparc
No reason to make it into stable, changelog mentions unstable
Maintainer: Chris Rutter <chris@armlinux.org>
cfengine updates 1.5.3-6 alpha
cfengine updates 1.6.2-0.1 m68k, powerpc, sparc
Alleged security update. BenC had already fixed it in
1.5.3-6. BSD sent out an advisory recently which confused our
maintainer. (he read too much glibc code or something :)
Investigation: It looks like that upload fixes a problem which
was already fixed in the stable version of »cfengine«. Thus
there is no reason for including this package. Additionally
Debian doesn't activate said »cfd« by default, it even won't
run without manual interaction (conffile missing).
doc-linux-ko updates 1:1999.04-3 all
No reason why this should go into stable. ChangeLog says:
* Moved /usr/doc/ to /usr/share/doc (Closes: #91430)
* Added Sections: and Priority: fields.
doc-linux-zh-s unstable 2001.01-1 all
doc-linux-zh-s updates 2001.01-1 all
Misplaced upload that ought to be unstable only

freetype2-dev updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc
freetype2 updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc
Changelog says:
* New upstream release, the final version of the FreeType 1 series.
* Build for Debian 2.2 series (potato).
* The configure options for kpathsea support in ttf2pk has
been changed upstream, and 1.4-0potato1 was inadvertently
built without kpathsea support. Thanks to Philipp Lehman
for the bug report! :-) Closes: Bug#83403.
* Oops, I didn't know that debhelper (>= 2.1.0) and libtools
(>= 1.3.4-1) aren't in potato yet. Fixed Build-Depends
line. Thanks to fellow Debian developer Dan Jacobowitz for
letting me know.
Alpha and m68k missing freetype-tools freetype2-dev freetype2
Maintainer: Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org>
g2 updates 0.40-2 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
Changelog says:

* Updated description - g2 site moved since last release.
* Added dependency on libgd-gif1. Closes: Bug#61124
Arm and alpha missing
Maintainer: Eric Cain <ecain@debian.org>
gcc stable 1:2.95.2-13 alpha, i386, powerpc, sparc
gcc stable 1:2.95.2-13.1 arm, m68k
gcc updates 1:2.95.2-13.1 sparc
Changelog says "NMU\nAdd new patch for ARM" though this is an
upload for sparc and arm is already in stable.
I'm not quite convinced we should update a compiler in stable
w/o proper need. Syncing versions would be good, but this
would introduce an untested compiler package.
Philip Blundell wrote: From what I remember, the extra patch
that was added in -13.1 is only applied when building for ARM.
So the new SPARC version is benign but useless - it'll be
exactly the same as -13. I'd be inclined to leave it out.
hztty updates 2.0-3potato4 arm, i386, m68k, sparc
New package for stable
Changelog says:
* Compilation problem on Alpha architecture is now fixed! Special
thanks to fellow Debian developer Paul Slootman who sent me the patch!
Closes: Bug#55251.
* An hopeful upload for Debian 2.2r3; hztty didn't get into Debian 2.2
because of Bug#55251. Now that Paul has fixed this "Can't build from
source" bug, I hope hztty could get into future Debian 2.2 releases
if there is enough room on the CD-ROMs. :-)
Alpha and powerpc missing
Maintainer: Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org>
koules updates 1.4-1.3 sparc
Security update, changelog says:
* Non-maintainer release by security team
* Fix trivial buffer overflow in init() code
* Change Iconfig to not enable the asm stuff since the modern gcc
doesn't accept it
However:
1. There is no source
2. No other arch is mentioned
3. On Wed, 22 Nov 2000 22:06:53 +0100, an advisory was issued
telling people that Debian is not vulnerable to the koules
problem.
latex2rtf stable 1.1-6 arm, m68k, powerpc
latex2rtf stable 1.8aa-2 alpha, i386, sparc
latex2rtf updates 1.8aa-4 alpha, arm, i386, sparc
Changelog does not convince me to push it into stable:
* Upload to stable to overcome the "can't build from source" bug that
breaks autobuild on some architectures.
* Add build dependency on debhelper.
m68k and powerpc missing, if they are uploaded I shall accept the upload.
Maintainer: Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>
liece-dcc updates 1.4.3.0.20000829cvs-1 powerpc
Misplaced upload, it mentions "stable unstable" it's a new
upstream version
locale-ko updates 4-6 all
Fixing some bugs, but playing with conflicts against
libc which apparently is dangerous. ChangeLog says:
4-5: * Added Conflicts to libc (<<2.1.94). (Closes: #72552, #74567)
4-6: * Modified Conflicts to libc (>>2.1.94) again.
Because it can cause removing packages depending on libc.
Reading the bugreport, having it talk about woody, I'm
entirely not convinced this package should go into stable.
Maintainer: Chu-yeon Park <kokids@debian.org>
modutils updates 2.3.11-10 sparc
modutils updates 2.3.11-13 i386
Stable has newer versions already and all arch's are in sync.
realplayer updates 8.0.1 i386
Problem!
1st - The version in stable is unusable since the non-free
package dissappeared from the real site.
2nd - The version in proposed-updates is fucked up and must
not be installed in stable.
Brian Russo <wolfie@debian.org> has uploaded a new version to
unstable to see if it works. If it does he uploads a new
version for stable. He can do that at any time.
Joey says: One comment, on realplayer -- the version of the
installer in stable does not currently work, since Real has
released a new version of realplayer and the old version is no
longer available[1]. So the package should either be removed
from stable or updated.
sharc updates 2.1-2 all
No reason why this package should go into stable. ChangeLog says:
* Rebuilt package. Closes #91065, #91654
trueprint updates 5.1-8 i386, powerpc, sparc
I'm not convinced this package should go into stable, sorry
Blinder, but we already discussed this... Small chance: aj
has the final say. Changelog says:
* fixed a typo in the config file which causes the program to segfault
when useing the -P option, with which one can specify where to print
the output; Closes: #73042;
* removed wrong control information:
- Build-Depends: lpr | lprng
- Suggests: diff
* Updated Maintainer field to my official Debian address
alpha, arm and m68k missing
Maintainer: Othmar Pasteka <othmar@debian.org>
wdm updates 1.20-0.0potato1 arm
Wth should this package go into stable? The changelog scares me:
* Non-maintainer upload for potato, sponsored by Anthony Fok.
* New upstream version. Closes: #59945.
* Fix package build problems in debian/rules. Closes: #67866, #67867.
* Fix 'NoChange' with an Xsession wrapper. Closes: #59621, #61244.
* Call update_wdm_wmlist in init file. Closes: #34680.
* Insists on PAM fail delay even if getpwnam fails. Closes: #67166.
* Disable running xconsole by default. Closes: #56918.
* New non-squashed logo from Daniel Patterson. Closes: #48696.
* Added Build-Depends in debian/control.
