Patch Pilot 2011-02-09

[Kees Cook]

Hi,

Just finishing my Patch Pilot day now. Here are some things I worked on,
with notes:


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnutls26/+bug/714838
    Pass on the sync, as it seems not worth the risk to Natty.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/486154
    Upstream hasn't agreed on a workable patch, so reject backporting.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exim4/+bug/713855
    Merge is small, but the one patch needs updating, based on the
    upstream review of it. Got updated, reviewed, and uploaded the merge.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/576949
    Patch looks good, uploaded to -proposed.

https://code.launchpad.net/~micahg/ubuntu/natty/pidgin/2.7.9-2/+merge/48721
    The contents of the merge look okay to me. The changelog should
    be updated to include the whole delta between Debian and Ubuntu,
    but once that's done, I'd be happy to upload it.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/572110
    Colin is already working out a saner approach.

https://code.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/ubuntu/natty/plymouth/lsb-release-version/+merge/45095
    Looks good, asked slangasek to review it again, and he had just merged
    it.

https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/natty/upstart/restore-re-exec-code/+merge/45295
    Looks fine. Merged and uploaded.
