Oldest RC bugs affecting etch
I looked at bts.turmzimmer.net and defined 'old' to be older than 365 days.
Most of the bugs are non-free documentation bugs (which irritates me; I wish
the maintainers would do their duty). Several of the others are woody-only,
so I version-marked them (though I might have screwed that up).
Perhaps the remainder give some indication of things we should do for QA.
286183 -- security bug in emacs21
286780 -- patched bug in gjay
Orphan package and make QA upload?
284914 -- trivial bug in klogd.
I still say we switch to another syslogd implementation and remove
sysklogd entirely. It's got 4 RC bugs and 99 bugs total, including 34
patches. Effectively, it's unmaintained, but Joey hasn't orphaned it.
It's a sloppy, screwy codebase, so I can understand if Joey doesn't want
to fix it. I've been using syslog-ng happily for several years now,
but metalog seems to be a reasonable alternative as well.
245314 -- unreproducible
268603 -- discussion about permanent exception to RCness
281893 -- patched uninstallable bug in libroken16-kerberos4kth
Orphan package and make QA upload?
272004 -- apparently inapplicable bogus bug
261725 -- should be etch-ignore (and permanently ignored) until the FHS
has a standard location for cross-toolchains
222757 -- incompetent packaging in multisync
208198 -- longstanding problem in nvidia-glx
231082 -- longstanding and 'mostly fixed' problem in perl
259324 -- missing build-depends in tkrat
344981 -- patched FTBFS in tkrat
Orphan package and make QA upload?
147187 -- xdelta fails on all 64-bit systems
Orphan package and work on QA upload?
