Sorry for the delay. I've done the bump to 1.1.24. Arch Security Liaisons, please test and mark stable:
=dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.24
Target keywords : "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 m68k ppc ppc64 release s390 sh sparc x86"
CC'ing current Liaisons:
alpha : yoswink
amd64 : welp
hppa : jer
ppc : dertobi123
ppc64 : corsair
release : pva
sparc : fmccor
x86 : opfer
Solar, I'm cc'ing you as for infra part. Sparc stable. I'm assuming that this is expected from the test suite in several places: ================================== ## Running general tests bug-165 result 0a1,4 > runtime error: file ./bug-165.xsl line 6 element value-of > Variable pStyle has not been declared. > runtime error: file ./bug-165.xsl line 6 element value-of > XPath evaluation returned no result. =================================== ppc stable Stable for HPPA. - Compiles fine with python and crypt use flags on - Testsuite successfull. - The app was able to build html pygtksourceview documentation just fine. alpha stable. stable for x86...do I remember correctly that such stabilisations as these should take place without mentioning the word "security" in ChangeLog comment? If yes, this is a kindly reminder to everyone. (In reply to comment #8) > stable for x86...do I remember correctly that such stabilisations as these > should take place without mentioning the word "security" in ChangeLog comment? > If yes, this is a kindly reminder to everyone. That's correct. We try to keep a low profile in SEMI-PUBLIC situations, and not mention any security impact in public changelogs. fmccor: Those test failures occur on amd64 as well. Since they don't cause build failures, I missed them. However, sparc, is not alone. (In reply to comment #9) > That's correct. We try to keep a low profile in SEMI-PUBLIC situations, and not > mention any security impact in public changelogs. I "fixed" fmccor's ChangeLog entry (deleted "Security", that's all). Nothing I can do about the commit message, of course. Maybe it's a good thing to always simply mention the bug number if keywording is all you're doing - that should be all anyone needs to know anyhow, as the bug will normally explain the rest. There's a lot to be said for keeping ChangeLog entries brief and to the point in general. At one point, I was under the impression that when it was a security bug, we mentioned that in the Changelog to explain why things were going immediately to stable. Is that not the case? ppc64 stable (In reply to comment #9) > That's correct. We try to keep a low profile in SEMI-PUBLIC situations, and not > mention any security impact in public changelogs. Oh! Sorry about my changelog entry, didn't know about this SEMI-PUBLIC special cases. I've removed it. (In reply to comment #12) > At one point, I was under the impression that when it was a security bug, we > mentioned that in the Changelog to explain why things were going immediately to > stable. Is that not the case? I'm all for this. It also helps to know how often a package is affected by security holes. Of course, we can make the necessary exceptions to this rule, like this semi-public keyword situation. This is now public via http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0287.html Removing security liaisons and adding remaining arch teams. ia64 stable Not multilib-strict:

maekke, I believe that is bug 218643. Probably. I have amd64 and multilib-strict, so it's certainly fine with python 2.5. amd64 stable Fixed in release snapshot. GLSA request filed. GLSA 200806-02 |
