freeze exception request for uruk 20100823-1



Hi,

Could you please allow uruk 20100823-1 in squeeze?  It fixes problems with
dependency based boot sequencing and has improved support for IPv6.  It was
accepted in unstable at Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:17:07 +0000.  It is "arch all", so
no waiting for autobuilders is involved.

Relevant snippets from debian/changelog:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

uruk (20100823-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.  Missed 20100820 (and 20100821), which introduced:
    + Fix bugs in support for dependency based boot sequencing (which is the
      default in "Squeeze"; Boot Performance is a goal for the upcoming Debian
      "Squeeze" release)
      - init/uruk.in: Fix LSB init header: we want to start early in boot
        sequence (on entering runlevel S).  LSB init.d header however had
        "Default-Start: 2 3 5". This is now fixed to S.  Partially fixes
        bug 581659. (Upgrade's are likely not yet handled gracefully.) Thanks
        Petter Reinholdtsen for reporting and for the patch.
      - Furthermore, change Default-Stop: "0 6" to "0 1 6": no need to special
        case runlevel 1 (thanks lintian).
      - Finally, added "$remote_fs" to Required-Start: and Required-Stop: since
        obviously we need /usr/sbin/uruk to be available (thanks again lintian).
    + Enable support for IPv6 packet filtering (full IPv6 support
      is a goal for the upcoming Debian "Squeeze" release).  ip6tables is now
      enabled in the uruk script by default.  If you interact with uruk using
      the init script (which is the default), uruk's default behaviour however
      is not changed.

Full diff between 20080330-1 (now in testing) and this candidate is available
from http://mdcc.cx/tmp/uruk/uruk-20080330-1_20100823-1.diff .  Ripping out
diff's in documentation and buildsystem (configure, Makefile.{am,in} etc.)
yields http://mdcc.cx/tmp/uruk/uruk-20080330-1_20100823-1_just_the_code.diff
(about 10 K).
