The reason I mentioned that one is that it's another localised fix to
the regex engine which solves an infinite loop problem. I suspect that
if it winds up in testing, we'll probably see a critical bug filed about
it.
Daniel fixed 174267 already. The -9 upload will have the fix.
Hmm. For some reason I have in my notes here that 167909 was fixed and
should have been closed.
The CVS ChangeLog has it:
- debian/patches/cvs.dpatch: Update.
(Closes: #171550, #170507, #167909)
But the one that got committed doesn't for some reasons. I also hadn't
noticed it in the build log because it seems that bugs with tags appear
near the bottom of the page. I'll have to remember to look there, too.
Tks,
