Hello development folks,
being responsible for upcoming Core Update 167, I would like to close this update roughly at the beginning of next week. This is because it contains several security-relevant updates (such as Apache, Bind [might need another one?], zlib [again], OpenSSH, and so on) which I think should be available to our userbase as soon as possible.
I don’t have anything left. Please await the conference call on Monday for a final decision.
Yes, I was planning to do so. Just thought a preliminary notice would be in order...
Good thinking :)
To have CVE-2022-1015 and CVE-2022-1016 covered, I will submit a patch for an updated kernel later this day, since we have enough space to ship one as the linux-firmware changes were reverted (see 8a4780de645a5b3ab42054eaf022c57d6849ae9a).
Please consult with Arne on this. There are lots of small details that need to be considered.
And I am sure he has a branch with an updated kernel somewhere already.
However, I really would like a new kernel in this release, even if that will take us a few days longer.
Oh, I overlooked your mail before submitting that Linux 5.15.32 patch. Sorry.
Arne working on a kernel was also my impression, but with a look at people/arne_f/kernel.git and people/arne_f/ipfire-2.x.git, I did not find anything I could pick up. So I thought I do a kernel update to once in a while, trying to reduce the bus factor on this end. :-)
Please consult with him no matter what. Arne is not always pushing all changes to his repositories and you know how much he replies on the list.
Looking at Patchwork, it would be great if we could clarify the status of these patches and patch series, and whether they should go into Core Update 167 or not:
I will leave this for Stefan.
I was awaiting some response from Anthony. I am not sure whether we can take silence as approval but since he has approved the previous version of the patchset which has just been extended, I am sure this is okay to merge.
I will wait until Monday for his reply then, and merge it if no negative feedback arrives until then.
Silence is not an ack. We should not have this culture here.
If this is urgent, please get in touch with him. I am sure you have his phone number :)
-Michael
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
This is something for Arne.
If there are any patches sitting around in your local/private repositories you want to have in Core Update 167, kindly post them. As always, drop me a line in case of questions or comments.
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
