Source: xcftools
Version: 1.0.7-6
Severity: serious
Justification: dead upstream, not fit for stable release
X-Debbugs-Cc: car...@debian.org, Debian Security Team <t...@security.debian.org>
Hi
xcftools is at it looks dead upstream and on the last security issues
reported (CVE-2019-5086 CVE-2019-5087, #945317) there never was an
upstream reaction.
Ideally in this form xcftools is not to be shipped in bullseye and
later, but there are some issues to be resolved:
castle-game-engine: xcftools
game-data-packager/contrib: xcftools
neurodebian: xcftools
build-depend on it and it seems mostly for xcf2png calling, which can
probably be replaced with an imagemagick convert call.
I will fill bugs (with RC severity) after checking with the release
team (Ivo De Decker), for the three reverse build dependencies
initially with RC severity to investigate the switch from xcftools:
[22:21] < ivodd> carnil: I suggest you file serious bugs against the 3 rdeps
asking them to switch
[22:21] < ivodd> if it's as easy as it looks from the bug report, it shouldn't
be a big issue
[22:21] < ivodd> if it turn out it's more complicated, we can still revisit the
issue
if it turns out to not be feasible we later on can revisit the severity and
postpone it for bookworm.
Regards,
Salvatore
