Severity: normal
Please unblock sisu 2.7.8 for Squeeze.
This sisu release is made almost entirely with debian live-manual needs in
mind, most of them responses to requests as documented in the debian/changelog.
It includes a fix without which there is a pattern matching error in building
the current version of live-manual. This is listed under "internal links" in
the changelog. This release though only built and posted yesterday has been
tested in its present form for the past 6 days from the git repo.
Note from previous unblock request:
>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.
Release team once again thank you, (Mehdi Dogguy is perhaps most familiar with
this package, having dealt with 4 of the now seven unblock requests, thank
you).
Sincerely,
Ralph Amissah

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

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

>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

[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.]
