Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please grant a pre-approval unblock for the package libeatmydata. The current version has a bug in the handling of Multi-Arch. With the `eatmydata' wrapper script (shipped in the "eatmydata" package) users can't run an executable for a different arch than host's. The sane way to fix this is a rewrite of the wrapper (actually the current wrapper is made of two different script, installed at /usr/bin/eatmydata and /usr/lib/<triplet>/eatmydata.sh). The rewrite (courtesy of tg, thanks!) follows the path of the current one, but in a more sane writing (and, as a side effect, improves speed and fixes a couple of corner case bugs (e.g. adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH allows the use of chroots with a version < 82 of eatmydata and a host with > 82; it also fixes quoting issues, a $PATH field splitting bug)). I'm already mailed it to upstream, and even if I'm waiting for a reply I'm quite sure he'll accept it. The package I intend to upload is currently in experimental, versioned as 82-5. A full debdiff is available at http://www.mapreri.org/debian/debdiffs/libeatmydata/82-4_82-5.debdiff An unstable upload would just be a no-change upload of this. Thanks for all the efforts you are putting in releasing Jessie :) -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 4096R/B9444540 http://goo.gl/I8TMB more about me: http://mapreri.org Launchpad User: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri Ubuntu Wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MattiaRizzolo
