I would like to get version 0.2.11-2 of mcstrans in Lenny. It changes to use libcap2, while this is a trivial change it also prevents the 2.6.25 kernel logging warning messages (which we don't want to have happening all through Lenny). It allows correct restarting. While there is no bug report for this (I noticed it myself) it is quite an important bug. If a change to the running state of the program required restarting the daemon a sys-admin might not realise that two copies of the daemon ended up running. As the daemon is related to security there is even a slight possibility that this could cause a security problem (the possibility is small - but we really don't want that). The new version also removes a needless -lpthread when building. While the policy is that extra changes don't get in, I hope that removing a single linker flag could be an exception from that rule. -- russell@coker.com.au http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Blog http://www.coker.com.au/sponsorship.html Sponsoring Free Software development
