Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: d...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:dpkg User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please pre-approve/unblock package dpkg.
[ Reason ]
This is a minor update including:
- Translation updates.
- Allocation failure fixes.
- Support for the tag2upload OpenPGP keyring.
- New PureOS Perl vendor module (not affecting Debian, but removes
the only delta they carry around, AFAIR).
- Fixes for the OpenPGP backend commands tests.
- Support for OpenPGP verification-only command sqv (equivalent to
gpgv), so that for example dpkg-source can verify (upstream, and
.dsc) again on a minimal system (after apt switched from gpgv to
sqv).
[ Impact ]
The most important part would be not being able to verify source
packages by default.
The allocation failures might trigger segfaults.
The PureOS vendor module could be omitted if deemed excessive.
[ Tests ]
The apparently more intrusive part (the OpenPGP backend addition) is
covered by tests, which also got fixed, but in the end the bulk of the
modifications are comments with references to upstream reports.
[ Risks ]
The changes seem pretty safe to me, and are not really big, I've been
running with these for a while, and as mentioned above pass all unit
and functional tests.
[ Checklist ]
[√] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[√] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[√] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
I've included the entire debdiff (compressed) against the previous
version, the following is the recipe that filters all auto-generated
and translation changes:
$ xzcat dpkg-1.22.18-1.22.19.debdiff \
| filterdiff \
-x '*.po' -x '*.pot' -x '*/man/*/*.pod' \
-x '*.in' -x '*/configure' -x '*/build-aux/*' -x '*/src/at/*' \
# EOC
unblock dpkg/1.22.19
Thanks,
