Uploading new s3ql to testing-proposed-updates



Hi,

I'd like to upload a new version of S3QL to testing-proposed-updates to
fix bug #701350. Unstable already contains a newer upstream release
(1.12), so I cannot upload there.

Essentially, a missing fflush() call when accessing a file using both a
FILE* stream and a file descriptor causes data loss. For some reason I
this hasn't yet caused problems with wheezy's eglibc 2.13 (the problem
was discovered with eglibc 2.17), but I think relying on this to keep
working mysteriously would be irresponsible.

The necessary patch is one line (adding fflush() in the right place).

May I upload this to testing-proposed-updates?


Best,

   -Nikolaus
