Control: tags -1 - jessie sid + moreinfo Control: severity -1 important On Tue, Sep 02, 2014 at 10:46:32PM -0400, Neil Van Dyke wrote: > Package: libapache2-mod-scgi > Version: 1.13-1 > Severity: grave
I looked into the issue and determined that libapache2-mod-scgi still works on wheezy and jessie for me. Thus the package is not broken for everyone and I am lowering the severity accordingly. I am also removing the jessie and sid tags added by Holger Levsen, because the bug log indicates that wheezy should be affected (and squeeze carries the same version as wheezy). > There has been a new version of this package since July 2009, version 1.14, > which my site believes has a fix for a grave bug. Maybe you could tell us more about the grave bug? Thus far this reads like "please package new upstream release", which has wishlist severity. > My site switched from Debian-packages 1.13 to compiling 1.14 upstream > manually a few years ago, since 1.14 appeared to fix a server stability > problem that we were encountering.

Last recorded activity of Neil Schemenauer (according to mia-query) dates back to July 2013. The last upload of this package was a NMU. Maybe he is MIA? > I've not been able to locate the Debian maintainer for this package. Can you document your attempts to reach the maintainer? Answering your question from the other mail: Updating the package (even in stable) is possible. Once it is obvious that there is indeed an important issue with the package (currently this isn't obvious), a minimal patch addressing the issue can be created and uploaded as another NMU (even to stable). Looking into the git repo, the diff from 1.13 doesn't look too big: 6 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-), 26 modifications(!) Please contact me if you'd like to work out a NMU and need a sponsor. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
