I was calling you that because of a single word you used - intrusive - for changes which are a) very localized to d/rules (touching a little place of it) and b) not affecting anything you care, and especially not affecting the resulting binaries in any way. And the changes which were made way before freeze, the package hasn't been unblocked because of old/buggy glibc installed on some buildds. And ofcourse I stand by my words. Note that much bigger and more intrusive changes were accepted after the freeze. >> jessie has CVE-2014-4607 fixed, but not CVE-2014-9645 (which isn't >> terribly severe and which could be tagged no-dsa if no further >> busybox upload is planned for jessie). > > I guess someone with enough time could stack this extra change on top of > the jessie branch, and either let it stay there, or upload the package > at the same time. > > Sorry, I lost track of that extra fix and didn't think of it when Mehdi > proposed NMUing it for the first CVE fix. And now someone please tell me why to do all this. From a package with a willing maintainer who cared about the package, from a package which was in good shape and with all the changes carefully selected for jessie, to basically an unmaintained package with no one having time to maintain and no one who cares, exactly the way it was over the years, and which required a lot of work to get it in some more or less good shape.
