A previous attempt was blocked because there was no complete list of copyright holders (just like for linux, on which I based the package wording if I recall correctly). There is no such list, at least publicly available, like for many packages. I'm happy to maintain packaging or appropriate changes if that doesn't block it in future. > Nope, the only thing you can do is fix the RC bugs to keep the > gridengine in jessie. > > So I guess it would be better to just remove it from jessie, do the work > on 8.x in unstable and use jessie-backports to provide the usable > current version to jessie users if there's a need for it. > > Cheers, I don't know what the RC bugs are, but it should be removed for security reasons if it can't be updated. It doesn't ship enough to configure against a user impersonating any other with a uid above a value which is 0 in the shipped configuration, i.e. it provides remote root on all exec hosts, and probably the master. (A previous "security" NMU was both bogus and pointless in view of that.) libdrmaa should be handled with alternatives. (I don't know/remember why there isn't a clash with torque and slurm already.) To record it for anyone reading later: SGE releases from http://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/SGE/releases/ have debian-style packaging installing into /opt, and the attempt at conformant packaging is under http://arc.liv.ac.uk/repos/darcs/gridengine.debian/ via darcs, hg, or git. I thought the latter was also as a tarball, but that's currently missing, which I'll fix. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
