Hello, If you use RT with the packages provided by Ubuntu, you will hopefully wondering about getting packages with the security fixes applied.
There are now candidate patches in launchpad for all current versions of Ubuntu. You can see them at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/request-tracker3.8/+bug/1004834 (request-tracker3.8) and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/request-tracker4/+bug/1004835 (request-tracker4). I'm sure that the Ubuntu security sponsors would like to hear test reports from people using these packages. Short recipe for compiling packages with the patches on your ubuntu system: cd workingdir sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get build-dep request-tracker3.8 (or request-tracker4) download appopriate patch from launchpad apt-get source request-tracker3.8 (or request-tracker4) [change into unpacked directory] patch -p1 < ../patch-you-downloaded dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc Check which RT related packages you have installed and then install the equivalents from the .deb files which the above hopefully produced. Then comment on the relevant bug about the success or failure. Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves, Systems Development and Support Team Computing Services, University of Oxford
