Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r5
=====================================
An up-to-date version is at http://master.debian.org/~joey/2.2r5/
I am preparing 2.2r5 and will send reports so people can actually
comment on it. The plan is to get this revision of Debian GNU/Linux
2.2 (codename `potato') out real soon now. James Troup still has
to give the final approval for each package. However, I will try
to make his work as easy as possible in the hope to get the next
revision out properly. Thanks for your attention.
Development for 2.2r5 is near being finished ready to be released.
This may also be the last version of the 2.2 series, depending on
how well the woody release is going. There is, however, still a
possibility 2.2r6 (to be scheduled at the beginning of March) has to
be released before 3.0.
My requirements for packages to go into stable:
1. The package fixes a security problem. An advisory by our own
Security Team would be quite helpful.
2. The package fixes a critical bug which can lead into data loss,
data corruption, or an overly broken system, or the package is
broken or not usable (anymore).
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 which I will most probably reject:
. Package which fix non-critical bugs
. Misplaced uploads, i.e. packages that were uploaded to 'stable
unstable' or `frozen unstable'
. Packages for which its binary packages are out of sync with regard
to all supported architectures in the stable distribution.
. Binary packages for which the source got lost somehow
Accepted packages
-----------------
These packages should be installed into stable and be part of the next
revision.
apache stable 1.3.9-13.2 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
apache testing 1.3.19-1 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
apache unstable 1.3.19-1 hurd-i386
apache unstable 1.3.20-1.1 alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc
apache updates 1.3.9-14 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
* Non-maintainer upload on behalf of Simon Huggins <huggie@earth.li>
* Applied patch from Martin Kraemer to fix mod_negotiation bug to prevent
revealing of directory contents.
This looks like a half security update, right?
DSA 067-1 is a broken security upload and requires an update. [further]
2002-01-02: It would be nice if somebody could tell me why I
tagged this version 'broken'. I don't think it's because of a
missing fix for Bug#73013, so I don't remember anymore. *sigh*
base-config stable 0.32 alpha
base-config stable 0.33.2 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
base-config updates 0.33.2 alpha
Sync with other architectures
ChangeLog also says:
* Corrected stupid typo in templates file, Closes: #74785, #74815,
#74828
* This problem makes it impossible to install the package, so it is
important and must go in.
bb stable 1.2-9 i386, powerpc
bb stable 1.2-9.0.1 alpha
bb updates 1.2-9 sparc
Package was missing from stable.
bwbasic stable 2.20pl2-3 alpha, i386, m68k, powerpc
bwbasic stable 2.20pl2-3.1 sparc
bwbasic updates 2.20pl2-3.2 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
* New maintainer.
* Recompile. Due to strange interactions with libc6, functions
weren't interpreted, and the package was practically unusable.
Closes: #108924.
catsboot updates 0.2.2 arm
Boot glue for ARM CATS systems
Required on some ARM systems
current stable boot-floppies Build-Depend on it.
dtaus stable 0.4-1 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
dtaus updates 0.6-0potato1 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
* Repackaged for potato because the version of dtaus in potato isn't
able to create DTAUS files using the Euro currency which is the one
and only official currency in Germany since yesterday. Hence, the
version in potato is entirely useless since yesterday and has to be
updated if people are using it for their money management.
eximon stable 3.12-10.1 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
eximon updates 3.12-10.2 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc

- adduser wnn, kwnn, cwnn for jserver,kserver,cserver respectively
instead of running as root user
- restrict upload/create path under jserver_dir
The 2nd upload is required to make the package installable
*sigh* At least, it is proved to be tested now...

GnuPG provides this functionality already, it replaces these
packages just fine, they are not needed anymore. Even worse,
they are not even installable anymore, since they depend on
gnupg but gnupg conflicts with them.

groff stable 1.15.2-2 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
groff updates 1.15.2-3 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
* Use lpr as the print spooler, even if it happens not to be
installed on the build system. Version 1.15.2-2 broke 'groff
-l', which worked with previous versions of groff in stable
(thanks, Mike Fontenot).
Since I can't even find a single bug report that says 'groff
-l' is broken in stable, I guess it will only be used on
accident. Hence, I don't think this justifies an update to stable.
I rethought my decision again. 2.2r3 had a working version,
2.2r4 unfortunately broke it. We should tryto fix that.
Upgrading from r3 or older to the next current version should
not break more things but fix them. *sigh*
imp stable 2:2.2.3-0.potato.4 all
imp updates 2:2.2.6-0.potato.3 all
DSA 073, though it mentioned imp 2.2.6-0.potato.1
The maintainer, Ola Lundqvist, commented:
"The potato.1 version (the real security fix) was broken. :(
I uploaded it too fast, without testing the postgres part. It also
had some other minor issues because I forgot to apply one patch.
So if any new packages of horde and imp should go to a new revision
only the latest version should go there (from proposed-updates)."

Bdale reports a serious problem with this upload, it broke
some functionality. He's going to upload a fixed version, so
this will have to wait for 2.2r5 (formerly 2.2r4) then. Fixed
for 2.2.2.2000.01.31-5.

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.

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.
To make it worse, there is now Version: 1.3.10-1.1
* Binary-only recompile by security team
* Rebuild with potato libc6

ChangeLog says:
* Permanently fix problem with NMU's being built against incorrect
kernel
interfaces (closes: #94380, #95015, #102226)
* add uploaders: header to control file
This upload most probably fixes the problem with the old alpha
version not being able to run properly due to a bad build
environment. This problem may be solved by a general
change... may be... Steve Langasek should speak up...
He said:
Samba upstream takes advantage of the best system facilities
(libc/kernel) available at compile time. Because Debian
releases usually include a baseline kernel and an
'experimental' kernel, Eloy and I have introduced packaging
code in unstable that prevents Samba from detecting facilities
that it should not be compiled against. The 2.0.7-4 upload
backports these packaging mods to potato, both correcting the
problems with past alpha security NMUs and safeguarding
against the possibility of future problems with security NMUs
in potato.
Rejecting on behalf of the maintainer, see Bug#127444:
Upgrading from samba 2.0.7-3.4 to 2.0.7-4 broke printing (from
windows clients) on our misc server [..]
