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.

Priority low, no critical or security fixes.
From the maintainer: I made these packages before I was told
that build dependencies were not required. Feel free to
reject, there were no other changes.

barcode updates 0.95.1-3 m68k, powerpc

cfengine stable 1.5.3-6 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
cfengine stable 1.5.3-6.0.1 alpha

Version in proposed-updates has lower version number than in stable.
distributed-net updates 2.8012-potato3 i386, powerpc, sparc
No security update
Changelog doesn't make me believe that these fixes have to go
into stable. It's contrib anyway.

uuid-dev updates 1.2-1.18-3.0potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
I'm not yet convincet that this package is crucial for potato.
Additionally it may contain some code that would require new
boot floopies to work. I'm not convinced this would be good
and should be triggered.
Alpha is missing
Maintainer: Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>
elvis-tiny stable 1.4-10 arm, m68k, powerpc, sparc
elvis-tiny stable 1.4-11 alpha, i386
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: New upstream release, the final version of the
FreeType 1 series.
Alpha and m68k missing
Maintainer: Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org>
g2 updates 0.40-2 i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
Changelog says:
* New maintainer.
* Updated description - g2 site moved since last release.
* Added dependency on libgd-gif1. Closes: Bug#61124
Arm and alpha missing
Maintainer: Eric Cain <ecain@debian.org>
gcc stable 1:2.95.2-13 alpha, i386, powerpc, sparc
gcc stable 1:2.95.2-13.1 arm, m68k
gcc updates 1:2.95.2-13.1 sparc
Changelog says "NMU\nAdd new patch for ARM" though this is an
upload for sparc and arm is already in stable.
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.
hztty updates 2.0-3potato4 arm, i386, m68k, sparc
New package for stable
Changelog says:
* Compilation problem on Alpha architecture is now fixed! Special
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-source-2.2.19pre13_2.2.19pre13-1_i386.changes
I'm not yet convinced these packages should go into stable.
The only version that justify an upload to stable is
kernel-image-2.2.19pre13-alpha_2.2.19pre13-1_alpha.changes
since it contains a security bugfix. However nothing is in
sync.
koules updates 1.4-1.3 sparc
Security update, changelog says:
* Non-maintainer release by security team
* Fix trivial buffer overflow in init() code
* Change Iconfig to not enable the asm stuff since the modern gcc
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
telling people that Debian is not vulnerable to the koules
problem.
latex2rtf stable 1.1-6 arm, m68k, powerpc
latex2rtf stable 1.8aa-2 alpha, i386, sparc
latex2rtf updates 1.8aa-4 alpha, i386, sparc
Changelog does not convince me to push it into stable:
* Upload to stable to overcome the "can't build from source" bug that
breaks autobuild on some architectures.
* Add build dependency on debhelper.
Three arch's missing
Maintainer: Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>
libpaperg stable 1.0.3-13 alpha, sparc
libpaperg stable 1.0.3-13.potato1 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc
libpaperg updates 1.0.3-13.potato1 sparc
libpaper stable 1.0.3-13 sparc
libpaper stable 1.0.3-13.potato1 i386, m68k
Broken sync upload.
If there would be libpaper *and* libpaperg version
1.0.3-13.potato1 for sparc, I'd be convinced to accept the
package.
I have prepared an upload for libpaper *and* libpaperg binary
packages sitting on auric, waiting for a free path to
proposed-updates.
Alpha uploaded, waiting for dinstall
liece-dcc updates 1.4.3.0.20000829cvs-1 powerpc
Misplaced upload, it mentions "stable unstable" it's a new
upstream version
modutils updates 2.3.11-10 sparc
modutils updates 2.3.11-13 i386
Stable has newer versions already and all arch's are in sync.
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.
realplayer updates 8.0.1 i386
I'm not convinced this package should go into stable.
Changelog says:
* I'm adopting this package (no wnpp was filed).
* taggart's patch (Closes: #60426, #83038, #83227 #85823)
* Changed dependencies for XF4 (Closes: #82988)
* New version for potato (Closes: #74741, #81566)

* Why not.. added menu hint (Closes: #82332)
* Removed dh_suidregister

task-chinese-s updates 0.6potato1 all
task-chinese-t updates 0.6potato1 all
I'm not convinced this package should go into stable. Changelog:
* 'locales' now depends on version >= 2.1.3-17 because LC_COLLATE
of zh_TW.Big5 was missing in Potato 2.2r2.
* Corrected description of task-chinese-t: changed "Simplified"
to "Traditional".

trueprint updates 5.1-8 i386, powerpc, sparc
I'm not convinced this package should go into stable, sorry
Blinder, but we already discussed this... Small chance: aj
has the final say. Changelog says:
* fixed a typo in the config file which causes the program to segfault
when useing the -P option, with which one can specify where to print
the output; Closes: #73042;
* removed wrong control information:
- Build-Depends: lpr | lprng
- Suggests: diff
* Updated Maintainer field to my official Debian address

w3m updates 0.1.10+0.1.11pre+kokb23-1 alpha, i386
I'm not yet convinced about this upload. What scares me
exactly is 1st a new upstream version and 2nd the word
'security fixes' without mentioning anything. Needs further
investigation.
arm, sparc and powerpc missing
Maintainer: Fumitoshi Ukai <ukai@debian.or.jp>
watchdog updates 5.1-2 arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
I'm not convinced by this changelog why it should go into stable:
* Uploaded to stable, adds --noscripts to debhelper invocation, closes:
#53298, #61939 (grave).
alpha version still missing
Maintainer: Johnie Ingram <johnie@debian.org>

Wth should this package go into stable? The changelog scares me:

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
Dunno why this should go into stable, changelog says:

Maintainer: Changwoo Ryu <cwryu@debian.org>
xfonts-cmex-big5p updates 0.1-4potato5 all

if it is empty or just contains font.dir and fonts.alias
(Closes: Bug#54994).
* [debian/control]: Removed an extraneous colon at the end of the
Build-Depends line (Closes: #76505).
Maintainer: Changwoo Ryu <cwryu@debian.org>
xtel updates 3.2.1-4potato1 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc
Security update, no advisory released yet
Version is not secure 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
