Thanks, Manoj, for this powerful 'comeback'. Looks like you've updated most of the packages already; at least the non-GUI ones (which are the ones I care most about, I never really got the hang of the UI apps). Don't forget we'll also (AFAIK) need updates to PAM and OpenSSH. These two are very important.
We still might want to share efforts with the Ubuntu folks, especially if TreSys is involved there. I know that you don't like CDBS, but I find it rather easy to use, whereas I never got around to dig into your make system (I admit that this might be just because I wasn't willing to spend the half hour or hour of concentration that I would have needed for this). When I was doing backports for sarge (I guess) a long time ago, it felt easier for me to redo them in CDBS than to find out how to remove python-support and do manual python packaging in yours. It would make sense to use a common 'codebase' for the Ubuntu and the Debian stuff, but I'm not sure about the package quality of the Ubuntu packages - at least they lack the usual upstream/diff split. I had a quick look at the libselinux package, and it was using CDBS. It's a very unfortunate situation that you don't use CDBS and many others (just judging from the reports I've seen here, I'm not the only one who said he decided to use CDBS instead) don't get the hang for your build system. This doesn't make it easier to get more people involved. But as long as you are around and updating the packages it's not at all important - you're doing the job, so you get to decide. EOD. P.S. If anyone wants to adopt the "selinux-basics" package, go ahead. best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(vitavonni.de|debian.org) -- GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C (o_ Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
