Ok, I uploaded a new version to mentors.debian.net (same URL).

Ok, uploading to experimental.

Thank you. I hope it builds, it's time for prayers :-)

One more thing I noticed, your changelog omit
the last two uploads:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/ltp/current/changelog


Thanks for noticing that. IIUC, that means the bugs will be automatically reopened in the BTS, right?

You should check that all changes done, atleast the README.Debian is
still probably relevant (unless you want to start supporting ltp's
security :)

No, thanks. I cannot imagine supporting the security of something which, by design, contains code that can bring the whole machine down. Although I did some changes for security, like removing some files that are suid root in upstream, this is just a tip of the iceberg. Amongst other things I know of, ltp can leak resources (esp. message queues).

I ve checked out the README.Debian and will push it into the repository.

The other things are probably dealt with. The c++ thing is solved by not building the files in questions (BTW it's also fixed upstream), bashisms should be OK, and the OPEN_MAX thing is fixed upstream.
