Debian新闻周报(07.03)
Welcome to this year's 6th issue of DWN, the newsletter for the Debian community. Ulrich Hansen created a set of nice looking CD and DVD covers for the just released Debian GNU/Linux 4.0. Roland Mas announced that Alioth has been upgrade to etch. Kurt Gramlich announced a Skolelinux Youngster Meeting on July 20th to 26th in Chemnitz, Germany. Call for Papers for LVEE-2007. Vlad Shakhov called for papers and speakers for the upcoming Linux Vacation/Eastern Europe (LVEE) meeting. The event takes place from June, 14th to 17th near Hrodna, Belarus. The conference goal is to provide open exchange of ideas and experience between developers and users, give them ability to establish personal contacts. Participants and speakers are asked to apply not later than 1st of June. Interviews with Sam Hocevar. The new Debian project leader was interviewed by itwire and linux.com. Sam expressed that he wants to focus on social aspects like improving the internal communication, teamwork and motivating Ubuntu developers to contribute to Debian. About the GPLv3 discussion he said that most GPLv2 software in Debian is already GPLv3 compatible and that using the GPLv3 in Debian would cause even more license incompatibilities. Collection of Debian Art. André Luiz Rodrigues Ferreira announced the Debian Art website. It aims to create an archive for high quality artwork like wallpaper, splash screens, icons, logos, screenshots or system sounds which can be freely used for KDE, GNOME, Xfce or t-shirts and labels. This user contributed artwork can be included in upcoming Debian releases. Removing PHP4. Sean Finney announced that PHP4 will be removed from unstable and thus testing. Sean has setup a Wiki page to give detailed information for packages depending on PHP4 and to track the progress. He asked the respective maintainers to fix their packages to avoid mass bug filing. Release Team Meeting Results. Andreas Barth summarised the release team meeting that took place in Jülich, Germany. A review of the etch release process lead to simplifying the use of release goals for the upcoming release of lenny. Architecture qualification status notes are due to be published every two months and release updates should be sent out more regularly. The report also contains a rough release schedule which aims at the next release in the second half of 2008. Boosting the Release Team. Luk Claes called for new release assistants for the lenny release cycle in order to distribute the workload better among them. Assistants need to have done Quality Assurance for Debian already, have loads of spare time to use for release work, have a good understanding of several scripting languages and acknowledge that they will be doing merely basic work without authority over the release. Serious Problem Reminder. Lucas Nussbaum announced that he's going to send mails to maintainers of packages with serious problems once a month. When a release-critical bug is open for more than 30 days, or when the package has not yet migrated into testing the maintainer will be informed about the problems. FrOSCon Debian Sub-Conference. Martin Zobel-Helas called for papers for a Debian sub-conference at this years' FrOSCon that takes place on August 25th and 26th in St. Augustin, Germany. In addition to the developer room the project will also run a booth in the exhibition area. Format String Vulnerabilities in Debian. Karl Chen and David Wagner will present an analysis on format string vulnerabilities in the sarge distribution for the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Programming Languages and Analysis for Security that takes place on June 14th in San Diego, U.S.A. Tools have marked more than 1,500 packages potentially insecure of which 87 were determined with true format string bugs. Backports for Debian Etch. Alexander Wirt announced the availability of backports for etch. Backported packages should be available in the testing distribution, contain new and important features and there has to be user demand for them. Backports for sarge are still supported and may need to be removed before the system is upgraded to etch. Transition to GCC 4.2. Martin Michlmayr called for developers interested in helping with the transition to GCC 4.2 by uploading packages and inspecting build failures. Throughout the development of GCC 4.2, the entire Debian archive has been recompiled regularly with development snapshots of GCC to ensure a reliable compiler. Package Build Status. Sergei Golovan wondered about the meaning of state Security Updates. You know the drill. Please make sure that you update your systems if you have any of these packages installed.
New or Noteworthy Packages. The following packages were added to the unstable Debian archive recently.
Orphaned Packages. 58 packages were orphaned since the last issue and require a new maintainer. Below is an excerpt of the entire list. This makes a total of 409 orphaned packages. Many thanks to the previous maintainers who contributed to the Free Software community. Please see the WNPP pages for the full list, and please add a note to the bug report and retitle it to ITA: if you plan to take over a package. To find out which orphaned packages are installed on your system the
