Bug#683376: unblock: openttd/1.2.2-1 or openttd/1.2.1-2



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package openttd. Recently, upstream developers have
discovered a security problem in most versions of OpenTTD, including the
one in testing.

For squeeze/stable, a fixed package has been sent to the security team
this morning.

For testing, I intend to get the fix in through unstable (given that the
versions in testing and unstable are identical right now).

I see two options here:

 1. Include the next upstream version 1.2.2 in testing. I would prefer
    this option, because:
   - 1.2.2 will include a number of useful bugfixes for users.
   - 1.2.2 will include only bugfixes, so the risk of introducing
     breakage is minimal.
   - 1.2.2 will probably be included in Ubuntu 12.10, so including it in
     Debian will allow multiplayer games between Debian wheezy and
     Ubuntu 12.10.

     Note that 1.2.2 has not been released by upstream yet, it's still
     undergoing testing.

	unblock openttd/1.2.2-1

 2. Backport just the security fix and upload this as 1.2.1-2.

	unblock openttd/1.2.1-2

If you think option 1 is acceptable, I'll prepare the packages as soon
as upstream releases 1.2.2. If you would rather go for option 2, I'll
start preparing packages right away.

Thanks,

Matthijs
