Dear Release Team, good people, please get this fix into Etch:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sisu/sisu_0.48.8-4.dsc
(A) unblock request; (B) changelog; (C) debdiff; (D) verbose signoff
(A) Reason for request for upload/ublock for Etch
-------------------------------------------------
i. (pdf creation, a bugfix) sisu-pdf texlive depends, pulls in texlive
and works (for documents use-cases, including. basic multilingual,
different footnote types etc.). bugfix of problems with previous version
with alternative depends on tetex and texlive, both being incomplete
with the result that nether work properly (on use-case)
(relates to #402807)
ii. (pdf creation, a minor fix) better latex parsing of urls by use of
url package
iii. minor documentation additions
iv. cgi sample form related modifications (relatively minor but nice to have
sorted) (the -4 build adds this)
no request had yet been made for -3 (the changes contained in -3 are more
important than the additions made in -4)
(B) changelog:
-------------------------------------------------
sisu (0.48.8-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* sisu latex generated, usepackage url (improved placement of urls)
* debian control, sisu-pdf now depends on texlive alone, (alternative
tetex depends removed - reason: problem keeping both working!), take
on board suggestion by to rely on texlive Frank Küster if tetex is
problematic (this addresses, but does not close #402807 without
further discussion, dropping alternative tetex depends simplifies
sisu-pdf (tex) related depends, and makes it much more reliable
(also see in changelog earlier feedback on sisu-pdf depends from
Norbert Preining url at 0.47.7-3) depends here drop reliance on
metapackages, (extra checks required as to determine whether texlive
depends list may be shortened, playing safe))
* debian/control sisu recommends libfcgi-ruby1.8
(previously 'suggested'', needed for sample search form)
* documentation/help minor addition on initially creating postgresql
database for use if necessary
* Debian Etch fixes uploaded by Daniel Baumann
(followed in quick succession by minor build additions in -4)
sisu (0.48.8-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* cgi sample form related modifications (relatively minor but nice to
have sorted):
* cgi_pgsql and cgi_sqlite, dynamic path used instead (fixed path
will result in errors where the default path is not used).
* cgi_pgsql and cgi_sqlite, "documentation" tip for copying
generated cgi sample to cgi-bin directory, prevent accidental
copying to a directory instead of file. Dynamic path used.
* debian/control Recommends libfcgi-ruby1.8 moved to sisu-postgresql
and sisu-sqlite (only used in this context)
* Debian Etch related fixes

(D) verbose signoff:
-------------------------------------------------
Depending on texlive in a tetex world/environment is not without
problems. However, with previous depends set sisu-pdf pulls in neither a
working tetex or texlive for the packages purposes (neither work as they
should, by which is meant, they do not pull in all the tex type
dependencies required to generate pdfs from the LaTeX that sisu
produces). [sisu-pdf is a metapackage to assist in pulling in (rather
complicated) texlive depends. You could get the same functionality by
just installing sisu (which produces latex output) and manually pulling
in the various several required texlive components.] (the tetex texlive
relationship/transition has been a bit of a challenge)
Thanks in advance,
Best Wishes for Etch release.
Happy New Year.

P.S. no request was made for unblocking of -3. (the changes contained in
-3 are more important than the additions made in -4)
