Well considering it addresses a significant security issue (only relative to LB images, not Debian installs in general of course), which I would consider to be of critical severity considering the significant ease and scope of compromise, I would have thought they would make an exception. The release date for Jessie is flexible after all (I believe, with only a hope that it might get done before the end of the month, not a solid deadline). With that said, considering it is security related, the security team might accept a Jessie patch after release, but it's just easier all around isn't if it a new version gets pushed into Jessie now?
If it helps at all, I've done a fair bit of testing and bug fixing of it with Debian builds before I submitted it. Ubuntu builds are already broken, so progress-linux is the only dist untested. I am pretty damn confident with it at this stage though. I do understand that you might want to do some amount of testing yourself however. Could we at least try and see if the release team will accept it? Or at least establish contact to ask? I understand the desire to build on 5.x at this point. It's a little unfortunate that certain 5.x patches cause a little conflict with pushing this in cleanly to both 5.x and 4.x. I was hoping to get this done before too much changed in 5.x, but it took a lot of work to complete and it's too late. I can and will assist in a rebase of this patch for the 5.x branch also if you need me to. On 04/01/2015 19:58, Daniel Baumann wrote: > On 01/04/15 20:06, jnqnfe wrote: >> Patch attached.
