As usual, both amd64 and i386 are available.

For more information on secure session renegotiation in OpenSSL, see  its documentation.

Packages are available for i386 and am64, as usual.

Libapache2-mod-h264-streaming was the very first package to get a posting on this blog (July 7th, 2009), from when the software was not officially released yet. This is the first update since. As usual, packages are available for i386 and amd64, both in lenny-custom.

• There are three different extensions for SQLite: sqlite, sqlite3 and pdo_sqlite
• sqlite is the ‘old’ sqlite extension, which works with SQLite 2
• sqlite3 and pdo_sqlite are newer extensions, designed to work with SQLite 3, the current stable branch
• All of these extensions are packaged in the php5-sqlite package
• php5-sqlite 5.3.1-3~tzz50+3 depends on libsqlite0 (>= 2.8.17) and libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.6.21)

Please note the emphasis on the version of libsqlite3-0. This dependency cannot be fulfilled in clean Lenny, but SQLite 3.6.21 (or higher) is available from Backports.org. Other packages are needed from Bpo as well:

• libpq5 (>= 8.4~0cvs20090328)
• libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.36)

This site is now running on this very version of PHP, so if you notice any weirdness, don’t hesitate to leave a comment

UPDATE OF FEBRUARY 12th

The Debian PHP maintainers did another upload yesterday, containing a fix for the SQLite problem (exactly the same fix as I did, so that’s nice ). However, this upload also contains fixes for some other problems, that made it seem like another backport was justified. Hence, the version of PHP in lenny-custom is now 5.3.1-4~tzz50.

• Exim 4.71, from lenny-experimental. It is now available on Backports.org.
• Libapache-mod-security 2.5.9, from lenny-backports. It was outdated, and version 2.5.11 is available on Bpo.
• PHP 5.3.0-3 (i386) and 5.3.1-1 (amd64), from lenny-experimental. The latest version, 5.3.1-3, is now available in lenny-custom.

Update 23:06h:

• Sqlite3 3.6.18, from lenny-backports. It was outdated, version 3.6.21 is available on Bpo.

Furthermore, The Debian Security Team decided that security support for Debian Etch will end on February 15th. Since this means that no-one should run Etch anymore, the repositories on debian.dev-zero.nl (etch-backports and etch-custom) have lost their value (if they had any left, since the packages haven’t been updated for ages…) and will be deleted.

The Debian Security Team

As of now, PHP 5.3.1-3, is available on lenny-custom, and php5-suhosin 0.9.29-1 (also backported from unstable) is available on lenny-backports.  All packages are available for i386 and amd64, as usual.

For completeness, please find the changelog entry for my version of PHP below:

php5 (5.3.1-3~tzz50+1) experimental; urgency=low

* Packaged for Lenny
* Added a patch to allow the 5th argument of mail() in safe mode
(001-safe_mode_mail_arg5_ok.patch)
* Fixed 033-we_WANT_libtool.patch; –install is not a supported
argument in Lenny’s libtool
* Lower build-dep on automake from 1.11 to
automake (>= 1.10) | automake1.10

The first version dates from July 24th, 2008 and since then, quite some updates have been made. There is no information availabe online other than this posting, but there ain’t much to it. Just install  and run it. It will report any information it finds on standard out.

Since version 0.1.19, Sysinventory has a configuration directory. There is one module, named package-generic, that uses it. It reports on whether a certain package is installed and if yes, which version. It was written to replace a number of modules, that did exactly the same thing, but for one particular packge only. The module tries to read a list of packages it should report on from a configuration file (/etc/sysinventory/package-generic). If the configuration file does not exist, the module doesn’t do anything. Empy lines in the configuration file are ignored.

Sysinventory is available in lenny-custom. Since it is a shell script, it runs on all architectures.

• phpmyadmin: updated to version 3.2.3-4 from unstable
• libjs-mootools: version 1.2.4-1 from unstable added, as this is a new dependency for phpmyadmin
• libclamunrar6: updated to version 0.95.3-1 from unstable

Architectures as usual: i386 and amd64 (not to mention ‘all‘ for some packages).

Apache 2.2.14 and its dependencies from apr (1.3.8) and apr-util (1.3.9) are now available in lenny-backports, as usual for i386 and amd64.

Note: if you upgrade rtorrent from 0.7.x, and you use a session directory, you have to fix your session files for rtorrent 0.8.5 to be able to use them. Something changed in the way rtorrent stores information in the session files, and using your old session files with the newer rtorrent will cause errors. A script to fix the files can be found here. The script named fixSession080-d.py is what you want. First stop rtorrent, then run the script on your session files and finally restart rtorrent. It worked flawlessly in my case.
