Freeze exception request for gforge 4.6.99+svn6582-1
Hi release team,
I would like to request a freeze exception for the gforge package.
Version currently in lenny is 4.6.99+svn6496-1, unstable has
4.6.99+svn6580-1 (uploaded a week before the freeze), and I'm
currently uploading 4.6.99+svn6582-1 to unstable with the following
changelog entry:
,----
| gforge (4.6.99+svn6582-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
| * Removed from gforge-plugins-extra a few files that were also present
| in other packages (closes: #492952).

Previous changelog entry was:
,----
| gforge (4.6.99+svn6580-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
| [ Christian Bayle ]
| * Don't try to unregister scm plugins when GForge database is not
| available
| * Adapted use-snoopy-from-distro.dpatch for new gfplugin and
| gfconfig vars
| * Readded missing cvs-pserver and removed obsolete one from
| deb-specific, fixed missing lib for cvs in install-chroot.sh
| * Fix mailman ScriptAlias
| * SYSLOGD is now to set in /etc/default/syslogd
| * Renamed update-user-group-cvs.sh in update-user-group-ssh.sh
| as it doesn't update CVS
|
| [ Roland Mas ]
| * New SVN snapshot.
| * Fix a few bashisms in shell scripts (closes: #489600, #489601).
| * Tweaked dependencies on virtual packages.
| * Fixed PostgreSQL socket path in Postfix configuration, and removed old
| unused code.
| * Since we can't seem to decide on whether the Mailman web interface
| should be under /cgi/bin/mailman/ or directly under /mailman/, at
| least ensure that both work. This should put an end to the related
| troubles (closes: #399671, #486845).
| * Cleaned up the Apache configuration script to use the
| sites-available/sites-enabled system (closes: #398885).
| * Fixed include_path and include files for cron jobs, so they are not
| prevented from running (closes: #373557).
| * Fixed upstream: user activity reporting now allows searching for users
| by the initial letter of their username as well as their lastname
| (closes: #373558)
| * Stop trying to copy a nonexisting default page for projects (closes:
| #374431).

svn6580 was intended to fix RC bugs, but one, reported as #492952,
managed to slip by "just before" that version was due to enter
testing: the gforge-plugins-extra binary package, which contains
plugins that are not as well supported as the others, tried to
overwrite files present in other plugin packages. The full diff
between svn6580 and 6582 follows:

The diff between svn6580 and the previous version (svn6496, currently
in testing) is bigger, but it mostly includes fixes for important bugs
and release goals:
- #489600, #489601: important, fixing bashisms;
- #399671, #486845: severity normal, but could render part of the
website unusable;
- #398885: normal too, but one could argue that it could/should have
been serious since it was more-or-less a policy violation;
- other bugs are "normal" bugs.
Thanks,
Roland.
