Package: xmms-scrobbler Version: 0.3.8.1asd1 Severity: grave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Upstream's attempt to work around the 'not all request variables set' bug by limiting song submissions to ten items[0] has the very unfortunate side effect of losing a lot of data. The right answer is probably to attempt to submit in large blocks, then binary-search out the one (or more) lines that fail, and just junk that line. Or, alternatively, fix the real bug. However, as it stands now: After the recent audioscrobbler downtime, I had hundreds of tracks in the scrobblerqueue file. Then, xmms-scrobbler managed to reconnect to audioscrobler (when it finally came back) and promptly through away the vast majority of my data. As xmms-scrobbler currently stands, it throws out the user's data arbitrarily, often hangs xmms, apparently can crash xmms [and, look at the crap on the stack in that backtrace --- PGAT --- plain old ASCII. Looks exploitable], etc. For all these reasons, I really doubt we should ship xmms-scrobbler as-is in Sarge. [BTW: Don't worry about the asd1 at the end of version; only change is to make it prefer ARTIST over PERFORMER] - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (130, 'unstable'), (120, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-bohr Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xmms-scrobbler depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcurl3 7.13.2-2 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libidn11 0.5.13-1.0 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libmusicbrainz4 2.1.1-3 Second generation incarnation of t ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-12 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii xmms 1.2.10+cvs20050209-2 Versatile X audio player that look ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCgD1r+z+IwlXqWf4RAl4/AJ9p/pp9kHCZse93h+EFox0PqfeZjQCghz27 i1kfHZD3VHBm0A7mLBUWfTE= =1Dcj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
