Release Team,
Please consider unblocking package sysvinit
The version in sid fixes a regression recently reported in #1033311 (pidof not
matching pathnames which are symlinks) and also has a new debconf translation.
[ Reason ]
- cherry pick upstream patches to fix a regression caused by incorrect memory
initialisation (#1033311)
- New debconf Romanian translation (#1033723)
[ Impact ]
Regression in #1033311 would not be fixed and Romanian debconf translations
would not be available.
[ Tests ]
Reporter of #1033311 has tested the fix and confirmed resolution[1].
[ Risks ]
Although sysvinit-utils is Essential, I consider the risk is low and the benefit
of fixing #1033311 is significant.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiffs against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
The fix for #1033311 was uploaded in 3.06-3 and has already been in unstable for
5 days.
unblock sysvinit/3.06-4
Thanks
Mark
