Severity: normal
Please unblock sisu 2.7.7 for Squeeze.
This release is primarily in response to specific requests from Debian Live,
Live Manual contributors, who noted some behavioural deficiencies that needed
to be fixed for use with Live Manual and more generally. Amongst them:
* that the content of code-blocks were not numbered, and could not easily be
referenced as required for technical writing
* that code-blocks did not honor empty lines
* that generated latex/pdf bulleted text did not have a fixed space between the
bullet and the start of text, so text using bullets looked "ragged"
* that generated latex/pdf bulleted text did not have a hanging indent on lines
following the bullet
These all involved relatively minor contained "fixes"/patches which are
incorporated into this release and further documented below.
There are also some minor documentation fixes.
For the convenience of the Release Team I append the debian/changelog and the
online git repository.
I am upstream for sisu the development of which has likewise been frozen since
the Debian freeze to ensure a stable sisu version release with Squeeze. (There
have been several unblock requests, all thankfully granted). This freeze period
has been a useful for sisu development, a chance to review the existing code
and feature set and its behaviour, with each freeze set of fixes release being
more reliable and consistent than the previous one.
Again, thanks Release Team, for your work (and for your patience). Thanks Julien
Cristau, Mehdi Dogguy and Neil McGovern for previous unblocks on sisu (and
sister package sisu-markup-samples).
Thank you,
Ralph Amissah

2.7.6-1 ----- in Squeeze
========================================================================
*- unblock history -*
========================================================================
This is the sixth unblock request on the package sisu after the freeze (blame
additional testing by the live-manual (debian-live) members for the last
three).
2.6.3-4 code and documentation fixes
contributed for Squeeze.
the first unblock request was granted by Julien Cristau (for which thanks, he
also dealt with an unblock request on a sister package "sisu-markup-samples");
2.6.3-5 bug fix #596736 for Squeeze. Primarily a bug-fix.
the second unblock request Mehdi Dogguy (thank you).
2.6.3-6 Documentation and reliability fix.
third unblock request, Neil McGovern fixes)
2.7.2-1 (2.7.0 - 2.7.2 bug fix #598063 and other fixes)
the fourth unblock request, Mehdi Dogguy (thank you).
# 2.7.5-1 the fifth unblock request, OVERTAKEN
2.7.6-1 (2.7.3 - 2.7.6 bug fixes, requested fixes)
the fifth unblock request, Mehdi Dogguy (thank you).
2.7.7-1 (bug fixes, requested fixes)
=======================================================
An extract from 2.7.6 unblock request
>Testing of sisu may have been a bit more rigorous since debian-live recently
>started using sisu with debian-live, both the responsibility of making sure it
>works for that project (sisu was not originally designed for technical
>writing), and a number of the fixes were for issues found by others, (in the
>case of this unblock request Mark Schneider who is active in debian-live with
>the live-manual) as documented below.

>I am upstream for sisu the development of which has likewise been frozen since

>development moved upstream to the 2.7 series from debian.changes after 2.6.3
>(with 2.6.3-6 being the same as 2.7.0-1 changelogs apart). All subsequent
>freeze code fixes (and any documentation updates/corrections) have been in the
>upstream tarball apart from updating the debian/changelog as needed. [aside on
>why it become necessary to move changes back upstream to provide an upstream
>tarball for a bug in ruby1.9.2 with sisu]: As explained in an earlier unblock
>request, the change in upstream numbering (working upstream and opening 2.7
>series as opposed to patching 2.6.3) is, (apart from my being upstream for sisu
>and the the diff starting to become unnecessarily large), that there is an
>issue with ruby 1.9.2 (which segfaults) filed as a bug against ruby, that is
>easier to test with a current upstream tarball, so work on sisu which is
>currently only on Debian release (freeze) issues moved upstream to the 2.7
>series. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597953 )
[The following is an extract from 2.6.3-6 unblock request, and included with
subsequent unblock requests, explaining the reason for the change in freeze
patching strategy:]
>>The plan now is to port/merge the debian freeze changes for 2.6.3-6 upstream
>>with a new upstream tarball numbered 2.7.0 to represent the version in Squeeze.
>>
>>[An aside (verbose full disclosure for the sake of clarity). There is an issue
>>with current and earlier versions of sisu and ruby1.9.2 (not the default
>>ruby1.8.7). Some sisu options result in a segfault where there was no bug of
>>any kind previously in ruby1.8.7, ruby1.9.0 or ruby1.9.1. (Bug report here
>>http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597953 ). This is not a
>>situation that is introduced by any recent version of sisu, and does not affect
>>my unblock request. However, I nevertheless would like to be able to provide an
>>upstream tarball of the latest version of sisu to ruby-core if I end up filing
>>a bug report there (not least because the sisu --long-options are easier to
>>understand) and will proceed to make sisu 2.7.0-1 which will be substantively
>>identical to 2.6.3-6, the freeze on sisu will continue. In any event sisu-2.7.0
>>will not be uploaded to Debian before 2.6.3-6 has made it to testing, the
>>Release Team hopefully seeing fit to grant this unblock request.]
