Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 07:32:43 UTC
dev-lang/python-2.1.3-r1: vulnerable via glsa(200509-08) ( ver-rev < 2.3.5-r2 ), affects ('alpha', 'ia64', 'ppc', 'sparc', 'x86')
dev-lang/python-2.1.3-r1: vulnerable via glsa(200502-09) ( ver <= 2.3.4 && ver-rev not => 2.3.4-r1 && not ( ver = 2.3.3 && ver-rev => 2.3.3-r2 ) && not ( ver = 2.2.3 && ver-rev => 2.2.3-r6 ) ), affects ('alpha', 'ia64', 'ppc', 'sparc', 'x86')

Please, clean up the above. Thanks. ;)

Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 11:01:05 UTC
i've cleaned up py2play and cherrypy. but there are still packages that depends on python-2.1 like net-zope/zope. 

we'll have to clean those ones as well.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 11:17:21 UTC
Thanks. While zope folks are CCed here:

net-zope/zope-2.6.4-r1: vulnerable via glsa(200510-20) ( ( ver < 2.7.8 || ver = 2.8.0 || ver = 2.8.1 ) ), affects ('alpha', 'ppc', 'sparc', 'x86')
net-zope/zope-2.7.7: vulnerable via glsa(200510-20) ( ( ver < 2.7.8 || ver = 2.8.0 || ver = 2.8.1 ) ), affects ('alpha', 'amd64', 'ppc', 'sparc', 'x86')
Comment 4 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 12:08:35 UTC
After reading glsa looks like that only python 2.3 and newer is an option.
This will however completly remove zope-2.6.4

While it's definitely old, I suspect that there may be some users still using them :(

What option do we have? package.mask ? Removing this ebuild just at once is rather a bad solution.

Well yeah, I guess there's nothing wrong w/ leaving that in the tree package.masked for a while.
Comment 6 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 12:40:55 UTC
Jakub, could You help me here and put it to the package.mask?
I've never did it before, and I do not want to break sth while changing global file. Comment should say that package should be removed completly after some time (60 days?)

I guess liquidx will handle it for you... :) Pretty tough luck w/ me as I have readonly CVS access :=)
Comment 8 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 15:28:01 UTC
that is a good point. i think a p.mask is probably suitable enough. i'll add net-zope/zope-2.6.* along with <dev-lang/python-2.3 there as well. they can blame me if it breaks something.
Comment 9 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 15:36:36 UTC
added to p.mask:
