Bug#595774: unblock: webkit/1.2.4-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: freeze-exception
Please unblock package webkit
webkit 1.2.4 includes a large number of security fixes, and a
refreshed version of a patch 1.2.3 already has on it with the newer
version that is more likely to be included upstream.
Some information on what's planned for the squeeze time frame:
More security issues are planned to be disclosed in the near future,
so we will be rolling a 1.2.5 with security fixes only, and I'll
request an unblock for it as well.
The only other bug I intend to fix via freeze exception in addition to
these security issues is #473899 (probably by disabling box blurring
entirely with a return statement, given the patches improving this
situation touch too much of WebCore). After that the package's going
to be left alone.
