Preparing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3



Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3
=====================================

Up-to-date version on http://master.debian.org/~joey/2.2r3/

I'm currently preparing 2.2r3 and will send reports so people can
actually comment on it.  I'm not responsible for that release,
responsibility still lays at Anthony Towns who has to give the final
approve for each package.  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.

Please don't hesitate to send your comments since I don't have much
time left to process them.  I won't be able to process them if they
sent later than monday.  Please *ONLY* use joey-release@debian.org as
address to send your comments.  I'll redirect that address to somebody
else who will handle the mails monday evening.  Thanks for your
attention.

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.

postfix     updates   0.0.19991231pl11-1  alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc

	* Upstream fixes (see /usr/share/doc/postfix/RELEASE_NOTES), including:
	
	  - 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.

elvis-tiny  updates   1.4-11      m68k, powerpc, sparc
elvis-tiny  updates   1.4-12      arm

	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)

	Changelog says "NMU\nAdd new patch for ARM" though this is an

	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.

	  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.  :-)

	kernel-image-2.2.19pre13-alpha_2.2.19pre13-1_alpha.changes
	since it contains a security bugfix.  However nothing is in

	Security update, changelog says:

	* Non-maintainer release by security team

	* Fix trivial buffer overflow in init() code

	  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

mtools      updates   3.9.6-4           arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc

	Doesn't look like it was suited for potato.  Changelog says

	* New maintainer.

	* 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)

	Alpha is also missing

	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.

xcal        updates   4.1-9       alpha, i386, powerpc, sparc

	Misplaced upload, mentions 'stable unstable', changelog says:

	* closes Bug#80504 (pscal gets January 2001 wrong!)

	* cleaned up debian/ directory and updated standards

	arm and m68k missing

	Maintainer: tmancill@debian.org

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.

	Maintainer: Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>

xfonts-baekmuk  updates   2.0-3        all

	  (Closes: Bug#54994).

	   Build-Depends line (Closes: #76505).

xtel        updates   3.2.1-4potato1  arm, i386, powerpc, sparc

	Security update, no advisory released yet

	Alpha and m68k missing

xtide       updates   2.2a-1      i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc

	I don't see a reason why this package should make it into stable.  Changelog:

	* The Debian source archive xtide_2.2.orig.tar.gz was not pristine and
	  included tidal harmonics data downloaded from the XTide web site.
	  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.

	Alpha and arm missing

	Maintainer: Peter S Galbraith <psg@debian.org>

yaboot      updates   0.9-0.30-3  powerpc

	Misplaced upload, mentions "stable unstable"
