release-notes bug triage
Can i ask what is the policy for old bugs aganist release-notes?
Currently the page has several that relate to bookworm (and some
before): should anything relating to bookworm or earlier be closed? is
it still desirable/possible to amend the bookworm release-notes?
these bugs look like valid things which could have been in bookworm
release-notes:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037144
- Please add bug #1037142 in the "5.4 Known severe bugs" section for bookworm the Debian
- that bug is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037142 which is now closed
- is some issue specific to a particular graphics card
- if bookworm wasnt released it would be worth doing
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1038151
- document rename of the "ssh" group to "_ssh" in bookworm as people might have relied on 'ssh'
eg with 'AllowGroups to "root ssh"'
- if bookworm wasnt released it would be worth doing
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037116
- says that debian-edu bookworm was not ready -- this is, i assume, valid,
but anyone affected has presumably worked close?
- if bookworm wasnt released it would be worth doing
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037203
- aide is broken by the upgrade. The proposed text says what the workaround is
- if bookworm wasnt released it would be worth doing
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037430
- exim upgrade now fails if tainted data is used
- if bookworm wasnt released it would be worth doing
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1055027
- links to https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/201
- if bookworm wasnt released it would be worth doing
And these ones i think could be closed as "too late"/too minor/other reasons:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030119 is tagged trixie, but is about the annoying
'pam_env(sshd:session): deprecated reading of user environment enabled' messages which you get in bookworm.
However the ssh maintainer has fixed this for trixie: no need to document that in trixie, so suggest closing this?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012174 -- is about mentioning https in apt lines: I think this is fixed, so close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1035065
- states that "the sssd cache becomes invalid on the upgrade to Bookworm due to a new format",
- no new info provided on what this means since request in May 2023
- suggest closing as it doenst seem to have been an issue in practice and there is nothing actionable in it
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1036876
- states that "debian was previously able to boot from lvm volume groups
that were not complete while running in the initramfs and that bookworm
will no longer support this"
- porbably valid, but not a usual setup -- close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037121
- The salt-stack was removed from bookworm. there is proposed text, and i assume valid, but
im not sure it's high-profile enough to warrent inclusion now?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1050833
- changes to network naming: it is not clear to me if this was actually a change in bookworm
or an old change. i think this is the user not reading previous release-notes correctly - close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1070258
- user did not follow the instrcutions to remove non-debian software. close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=987068
- says cgroup2 support is incomplete for containers in bullseye.
- no response from submitter since 2021. close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=987069
- another cgroup2-related thing from 2021. last message says it's too
long for release-notes. close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=991809
- says new instalations of nis should follow a nis-howto document, but upgrades work
- no response to "what do users upgrading need to know", seems out of scope for release-notes. close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1036907
- something to do with dash. unclear to me... doesnt seem to have been
an issue. close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=927679
- is about docbook syntax. release-notes now use markdown. close?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930318
- unclear - i think they are suggesting to rename i386 to "PC". i dont
think that is actually any clearer, "PC" would have made sense in the 1990s,
but i dont think people really use it any more. close?
