Patch Pilot report 2011-01-07

[Colin Watson]

I went through the sponsoring queue until I started to feel unproductive
and stuck, at which point I switched to having a look through some old
patches in Launchpad.

#572110: ubiquity - scary message on live cd installing
  Suggested alternative patch; awaiting feedback.

#692457: bash - Please merge bash 4.1-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
  Needs fixing; posted advice, marked incomplete, and asked doko to take
  it from here.

#687535: openssh - upstart loses track of ssh daemon after reload ssh
  Sponsored SRU patches.

lp:~shnatsel/unattended-upgrades/plymouth-message-fix
  I'm very confused about how this helps and just making the script
  setuid isn't an option; posted comment.

#694398: cyrus-sasl2 - FTBFS package cyrus-sasl2 2.1.23 in Natty
  Sponsored.

lp:~smoser/ubuntu/natty/util-linux/lp-686124
  Already uploaded; marked as merged.

lp:~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/natty/libdbi/no-fast-math
  Needs fixing; posted comment.

lp:~leon.nardella/ubuntu/natty/cmake/debian.fix_lp_695335
  Branch started from the wrong point and needs reconstruction;
  explained this.  Will probably end up as a sync.

lp:~mterry/unattended-upgrades/691886
  Looks OK to me; poked mvo.

#687979: jug - [FTBFS] package 'jug' (2.0.0-1) failed to build on natty
  Should be sent to Debian; gave advice.

#694847: pcsc-lite - Sync pcsc-lite 1.6.6-1 (main) from Debian experimental (main)
  Needs to be a merge rather than a sync; left a comment and
  unsubscribed sponsors.

#687991: swt-gtk - [FTBFS] package 'swt-gtk' (3.5.1+versionbump-5ubuntu1) failed to build on natty
  Sponsored.

#697538: ncurses - ncurses 5.7+20101128-1 (main) from Debian experimental (main)
  Acked and synced.

#625013: partman-iscsi - Username and password set to "(null)" instead of left empty
  Sponsored.

#541670: grub2 - jpeg reader module fails to load valid jpeg background
  Applied upstream several months ago; marked fixed.

#332840: gettext/gnulib - $(SHELL) config.status broken
  Belatedly closed out old upstream tasks, and the task on the gnulib
  package.

#364009: ubiquity - ubiquity support to override default frontend via kernel option
  Committed.

#695728: gnome-python-extras - python-gtkmozembed should depend on xulrunner
