Anthony Fok says: Since multiple users have filed bugs against the NLS problem, it is safe to assume that this problem affects a significant minority of all users,. (PDF files often undisplayable or unprintable without the fix unless they manually set LANG=C or something like that...) So 4.05-3 does indeed: fix an "important" bug that inconvenience quite a few users; or for newbie users, they don't even know how to fix it with LANG=C...

Changelog says:

* Added a line in /usr/lib/mime/packages/acroread to force Netscape use the Acroread PDF plugin. Thanks to Thibaut Cousin for reporting the bug and and to fellow Debian developer Ryan Murray for providing the fix. Closes: Bug#79333

* Acroread has some NLS issues that broke viewing and printing for international users when the decimal separator is not a dot. A patch is applied to the acroread wrapper script to set LC_NUMERIC. Thanks to Mirek, Serge Gavrilov, Sebastien Cabot for their bug reports, and special thanks to Florian Siegesmund for providing a patch ported from the netscape wrapper script written by H. Peter Anvin et al. Closes: Bug#66586, #66593, #76840, #86473.

* Moved /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread back to /usr/bin/acroread. :-)

* Added menu hints="PDF". Thanks, Arthur Korn! Closes: Bug#82321.

* Acroread 4.05 does support type-in fields for fill-in forms. Closes: Bug#36451.

Other architectures are not able to hold the release, since boot-floppies are normally out of sync. There are too few porters around working on it.

m68k: Christian recently relocated to the US, and no one else is willing to do boot-floppies. Jonathan McDowell is working on them.

arm: Peter Naulls or Wookey plan to build them within the next two weeks. Philip Blundell is working on them today (Apr 15th).

ACCEPT: 1.4-11 REJECT: 1.4-12

Versions completely out of sync.

I would be convinced to let 1.4-11 go into stable to get architectures in sync again. However, since -12 was uploaded for arm, they are out of sync again. I'm not convinced the changes in -12 justify inclusion into stable.

Changelog for 1.4-11:

* The patch by Topi Miettinen to fix critical bug #74976 broke file recovery, but also the :w command. Re-engineered the patch so that the bug is fixed without any side-effects (closes: #77918)

* Add explanation by the author to clear up copyright notice (closes: #72021)

Changelog for 1.4-12: * Patch by David Douthitt to fix subsitition bug (closes: #73059)

* Patch by David Douthitt to fix range bug (closes: #55407)

* Move elvis-tiny to /bin (closes: #37571)

* Install wrapper in /bin/vi that execs /usr/bin/vi if it is present and /bin/elvis-tiny otherwise (closes: #72889)

* Install alternative for 'editor' (closes: #85318)

Arm compilation ready for upload on auric, requires 1.4-12 to be removed from proposed-updates

Miquel says: 1.4-12 was never meant to go into 'stable', I made a typo in the changelog file. I filed a bug against ftp.debian.org to fix the situation, which was done pretty quickly. Weird that -12 got into the arm port.

This looks quite screwed... However, since many of them, if not all, are new packages to stable, they are not likely to hurt. Since there are important security updates to 2.2.18 and above kernels at least most recent kernel versions need to be installed into stable. pcmcia-cs is a convenience package.

Herbert Xu: kernel-image-2.2.19pre* are not needed on i386/alpha.

- configure.in: recognize *-*-linux-gnu

- configure.in: add "-mstructure-size-boundary=8" to the CFLAGS on ARM (closes: #79180)

All arch's in sync now.

Explanation from Adrian Bunk:

It was meant to go in potato: All the patches (except the changed maintainer address) are ARM-specific or save (I don't expect bugs with "updated config.guess and config.sub") and shouldn't affect other platforms. Currently, any call to one of the programs on ARM gives the error message:

Mtools has not been correctly compiled Recompile it using a more recent compiler

(Joey) If Netwinders would have a floppy drive I would be convinced.

Acorn and RiscPC have floppies.

* Upstream fixes (see /usr/share/doc/postfix/RELEASE_NOTES), including: - Postfix must no longer use DB 1.85 compatibility mode, because that mode loses the file lock while building a table, so that table lookups fail and MAIL IS LOST. Closes: #78812. - Confusing site_hog_factor is disabled by default. - As required by RFC822, Postfix now inserts a generic To: header if no destination header is not present. - postfix sendmail command no interprets '.' as end of message, unless the sendmail-compatible -i (or -oi) command line option is specified.

Well, I'm not quite amused. I made a diff between the version from stable and proposed-updates. It's 9308 lines large (271kB).

* To the release manager: -11 includes a security fix to the tempfile module, which was vulnerable to a symlink attack. Apart from that, it contains an important fix for a long outstanding obscure bug in the signal handling code, and a few small modifications to fix some other bugs. This revision is a recompile of the unstable package for potato (one minor modification to mpzmodule was necessary to compile). I would think this revision should be included in the next point release of potato.

install reportbug_0.54.1_i386.changes

Removes one error that let's users see how wonderful python barfs.

Gregg Berkholtz says: The following text is from the main SETI@Home page (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu): "... SETI@home version 3.03 is available and mandatory for all supported platforms. Earlier versions are unable to contact our server, so please upgrade to version 3.03..." Also, in potato, the install fails due to the fact that it tries to fetch a now non-existent .tgz file.

Ok, this can be considered as reason for including it in stable. However:

New packages are missing for arm and m68k, they're missing upstream basically. Thus referring packages should probably be removed from stable.

install task-chinese_0.6potato1_i386.changes

I'm not convinced this package should go into stable but Anthony Towns is. Changelog:

* 'locales' now depends on version >= 2.1.3-17 because LC_COLLATE of zh_TW.Big5 was missing in Potato 2.2r2.

* Corrected description of task-chinese-t: changed "Simplified" to "Traditional".

Maintainer: Anthony Wong <ypwong@debian.org>

A *lot* of Chinese users got bitten by the bug in the locales package in 2.2r2: the zh_TW.Big5 LC_COLLATE file was missing due to a packaging bug that finally got fixed (by me) in 2.1.13-17. A *lot* of users complained that Chinese didn't work in Debian 2.2r2, and we saw their complaints on mailing lists and newsgroups. That is why Anthony Wong uploaded this new version of task-chinese-t that depends on a correct locales package to make sure users' locales package get updated properly when they user "apt-get install task-chinese-t".

Misplaced upload, Changelog mentions 'stable unstable'. Approved by Anthony Towns.

Maintainer: Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org>

Ryan Murray reported a "serious" bug... postinst would fail unless tetex-bin is already installed. It fixes problems in BOTH stable and unstable, so it is NOT an misplaced upload! (I.e. I know what I was doing!)

1. Watchdog daemon is stopped

2. A whole lot of packages are unpacked

3. (sometimes) dpkg stops and prompts you to overwrite /etc/watchdog.conf

4. Watchdog daemon is restarted

install xfonts-cmex-big5p_0.1-4potato5_i386.changes

Dunno why this should go into stable. Approved by Anthony Towns. Changelog says:

* Added code in postinst to rmdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese if it is empty or just contains font.dir and fonts.alias (Closes: Bug#54994).

* [debian/control]: Removed an extraneous colon at the end of the Build-Depends line (Closes: #76505).

Maintainer: Changwoo Ryu <cwryu@debian.org>

Changwoo Ryu is not the maintainer of the cmex font; I am. The upload closes a bug that may cause X fail to start after an upgrade. xfonts-cmex-big5p's former life, xfntbig5p-cmex24m, created the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese directory, but never removed it in postrm. Apparently, it was causing some problems for users who upgraded from xfntbig5p-cmex24m to xfonts-cmex-big5p. And of course, the second bug that it fixed, the extraneous colon at the end of the Build-Depends line, fix a "cannot build from source" bug.

Changelog:

* The Debian source archive xtide_2.2.orig.tar.gz was not pristine and included tidal harmonics data downloaded from the XTide web site. It was recently discovered that some of the data included in the above archive may be in violation of copyright. Therefore, XTide's author removed the data in question from his web site and produced new harmonics files which were included in this 2.2a Debian version.

install xviddetect_0.3-4_i386.changes

Convenience update as an exception. This upload adds a couple of more graphic cards to the database so more users will be able to auto-detect their graphic card. Since configuring the graphics card is still a pain, this improvement should go into stable.

install yaboot_0.9-0.30-3_powerpc.changes

This fixes a serious (affecting perhaps 15% of machines on which the powerpc port supports) booting bug.

* Use "MacRISC" instead of the entire list of machine types in <COMPATIBLE>. One line change, should fix booting on all recent machines. (Well, one line change in four places).

clarify icecast-server_1.3.10-1_i386.changes
clarify icecast-server_1.3.10-1_m68k.changes

Alleged security update.

Changelog says:

* Several security exploits found to icecast. No simple way to patch

* old version, so upgrade to latest stable version from icecast.org

* If questions or assistance needed join #icecast on openprojects.net IRC

Do you have a documentation about said security exploits? That's still pending

Is it something different than this one?

"icecast" is a server used to distribute audio streams to compatible clients such as winamp, mpg123, xmms and many others. Matt Messier (mmessier@prilnari.com) and John Viega (viega@list.org) have identified several buffer overflow and format strings problems in Icecast that could be remotely exploited. Our latest update to this software changes the package to use an unprivileged user ("icecast") for the daemon, so the impact of this vulnerability is not as high. Recent distributions (CL >= 5.1) have this package compiled with StackGuard to make it more difficult to exploit buffer overflows.

It's said to be.

Clarification appreciated.
