Roundup of work needed

Wed Sep 8 00:34:26 UTC 2004

Recent discussion has thrown up some confusion on the state of the
package release system (including on my part :), so here is a reminder
of what needs to be done on currently pending packages.

See bottom for some notes on these lists.

Packages in state RESOLVED (ie exist in updates-testing) that need
active work.
------------------------------------------------------------------

mailman - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1269
There were some unconfirmed reports of breakage with the candidate. This
needs more QA before release.

mod_python - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1325
Needs 2 VERIFY before release.

ethereal - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1419
Needs 2 VERIFY before release. - but dup with 1840?

tcpdump - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1468
Needs 1 VERIFY before release.

kernel - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1484
Needs missing file rebuilt for verification - but preferentially put
work into later kernel ticket

mozilla - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1532
Needs 2 VERIFY but has been superceded

lha - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1547
Needs 2 VERIFY but has been superceded

cadaver - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1552
Needs 2 VERIFY before release.

rsync - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1569
Needs 2 VERIFY but has been superceded.

flim - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1581
Needs 2 VERIFY before release.

squid - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1732
Needs 2 VERIFY before release.

squirrelmail - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1733
Needs 2 VERIFY before release (also double check no new issues have
cropped up)

xchat - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1549
Needs 2 VERIFY before release.

Packages in state UNCONFIRMED, NEW, ASSIGNED or REOPENED:
--------------------------------------------------------

* yum - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1583
IMO this shouldn't be in the Package Request component
close WONTFIX re rh8?

vsftp - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1778
Resolution of whether we are vulnerable needed.

* kernel - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1797
VM (non-security) bug in rh9 that was never fixed before EOL. Looks to
me like this should be closed WONTFIX.

* rpm - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1864
No rationale given for bug request - the rh bug it refers to dates from
before rh7.3 EOL. WONTFIX?

* readline - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2017
Another not fixed before EOL (rh9). WONTFIX?

XFree86 - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1289
This has had 2 PUBLISHes for 7.3 and the only problem holding it back
was likely a gdk-pixbuf red herring. Packages should be built for this
and pushed to updates-testing I think.

gaim - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1237
Needs new vulnerability to be investigated and fixes built.

netpbm - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1257
Needs 2 PUBLISH

kdelibs - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1373

minor non-security issues

libxml - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1324
Sort out confusion over status over version in updates-testing and add
RESOLVED flag.

Packages built for updates-testing and/or a couple of formal PUBLISH
needed.

Notes
-----

I marked a few duplicate bugs as CLOSED to make the RESOLVED
query more useful (and less overwhelming!) but then stopped as I
realised this may be not what people expect. Any opinions on this? I
don't particularly see any reason to keep dups in any other state, as
they by definition to not describe anything that isn't recorded
elsewhere.

Needs PUBLISH means that there are packages available for QA that need
to be QAd at the source level.

Needs VERIFY means that there are updates-testing packages that need
testing. This is the easy bit, let's get this old ones out of the way
ASAP.

I'll endeavour to do this more often... Hopefully we can get lots of things
ready for the new build server to crunch on :)

* means that there is a judgement call that can be made on the bug
system immediately. Please follow up onlist with opinions.

Cheers,

Dominic.
