    Today I uploaded a new postfwd package which ships also the postfwd2 script, a prefork server version.
    I also started to orphan packages I’m not using anymore or having dead upstream. The first candidate was policyd-weight, fortunately Chris Butler took the package over.
    I’m happy to be the first uploader into squeeze-backports with …. icinga.

This will be the next candidate for lenny-backports-sloppy.
    If you can’t wait, just grab the package from http://ftp.cyconet.org/debian/archive/bpo/icinga/1.2-1~bpo50+1/.
    If you are using nagstamon and thinking about upgrading to icinga 1.2, I backported a working version from subversion r151, which you can grab from http://ftp.cyconet.org/debian/archive/bpo/nagstamon/0.9.4r151.1~bpo50+1/.

    P.S. If you like nagios and/or icinga related software, there is a Nagios Maintainers Group and we would like to invite you, if you want to improve or extend the nagios/icinga ecosystem in Debian.

    A new haproxy 1.4.4-1~bpo50+1 package is in preparation and needs testing before uploading. You can find the package here.

Unfortunately it’s always the same with HP and the bandnew ProLiant 100 series … the driver for the NICs is missing/too old in the latest stable debian release. The DL160 G6 is shipped with a Intel 82576 GBit NIC, which isn’t recognized by Lenny, see also #522922.
    I installed the system with another NIC installed (not really, but this is a way it works :) and wanted to get free the PCI-X slot again. So I did backport dkms and downloaded the latest igb driver. A short look into /usr/share/doc/dkms/HOWTO.Debian did advice me the way to create the DKMS driver package. Just after a couple of minutes I did roll out the igb-dkms_2.0.6_all.deb to the target maschine(s).
    On the target systems I just installed dkms, the DKMS package and appropriate linux-headers and … sim, salabim … there was the interfaces. :)

It’s going into the end of the year and everybody is in hurry. There seems also coming some changes for our family down the road in the future, but more maybe later. Additionally one months ago Santiago Ruano Rincón did surprisingly turn up as my AM. We started fast, but I got stuck at P&P part 1 with the License comparisons, cause actually I’m so busy at work and with my family, that I can’t concentrate enough late at night, when trying to work on the papers. For example the graphviz license is completely overwhelming me. My hope in the last time was some bigger timeslots at the weekends, but they got smashed by my family and/or work issues. I hope Santiago is not getting annoyed by me and I can find hopefully some free time on holidays or in the first weeks next year.

    Anyways … Christian Perrier started a review and translation process of ipplans debconf templates by the debian-i18n contributors. The templates was in really bad conditions, most of it was copied over from gallery2 and I did know that they wasn’t so good. Thanks for all your work, when the process is over I’m proud to include your really nice work.

    Two other packages got updates. php-suhosin got new upstream release after months which fixes the broken perdir/.htaccess support. Unfortunatly I missed the release (cause there is no announcement list and there was no watch file) unless Raphael Geissert did leave a note. I integrated the new VCS and homepage stuff also and formorer did fix some minor issues. So we can hopefully upload now (when it arrives testing) the first package to backport.org and sleep little bit better, when using PHP on stable.
    nagios-plugins also got updated. Since Seanius seems really busy (like allways), nobody did really took care of the package. In October it got two CVE which was solved via NMU by the testing-security team, also two new upstream releases where available. So I droped the obsolete patches, integrated new once, did make the new shiny lintian a bit more happy, some minor fixes and queued the package to Seanius. ;)
    You can expect both packages on backport.org soon. My other (comaintained) packages will get updated to latest policy and VCS/homepage guidelines in the near future. Actually I’ve to prioritize what to do with the left time slots. :/

This breakes binary compatibility to other packages, which are commonly not compiled with LFS and leads into trouble with 3rd party extensions, cause these are precompiled against the ABI of upstream and LFS not turned on. One example is Zend Optimizer. You may say this will only hit closed source applications, but if these are customer requirements, you have to solve the issue in some way.
    You can do this by compiling your php and all extension from source without LFS enabled, but here you have to care about bugs, regressions and exploits for your own.
    An other solution is to rebuild the packages from etch with LFS disabled. I’ve done this with the source packages of php4 and php5 from etch. Additionaly I did backport php-suhosin from unstable against this php packages for php4 and php5.

    Packages are available at http://ftp.cyconet.org/debian/archive/special/ or via

    deb http://ftp.cyconet.org/debian etch-special-cyconet main non-free contrib

    If there are any DSA popping up, you can expect updates with a short delay. Please keep in mind, that you cant install php extension directly from etch. You need to rebuild them against php[45]-dev with disabled LFS. Other php packages may apear later.

    Update: We migrated a customer system with Zend Optimizer to etch. To my suprise, it was working with latest version of Zend Optimizer out of the box with php4. Can’t say anything for php5, cause there are some modifications needed, until the applications are working with php5.
    Maybe anybody can verify this with php5?
    Until all works well with stock php[45], I wont maintain the packages mentioned above.
