[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey,

Summary for my shift today:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/952771
"Gnome Screensaver should handle expired password tokens"
the fix has been uploaded to raring, will need testing there before 
being considered for precise SRU, unsubscribed sponsors meanwhile and 
asked the submitter to provide the SRU infos on the bug

https://code.launchpad.net/~albertsmuktupavels/ubuntu/raring/gnome-panel/fix-for-1083811/+merge/136829
commented, needs to use the patch system rather than inline changes and 
the patches need to be better described/reported upstream

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1046118
rejected the SRU request, the fix is incorrect for quantal

https://code.launchpad.net/~bkerensa/ubuntu/raring/eglibc/depends-fix1/+merge/135995
pinged doko/infinity, adding a ${misc:Depends} doesn't seem worth a 
eglibc upload but it should be considered for the next upload

https://code.launchpad.net/~bkerensa/ubuntu/raring/fglrx-installer/depends-fix1/+merge/135993
https://code.launchpad.net/~bkerensa/ubuntu/raring/fglrx-installer-updates/depends-fix1/+merge/135994
same situation, pinged tseliot about those

https://code.launchpad.net/~stijnbrouwers/ubuntu/quantal/kamoso/fix-thumbnails/+merge/135728
asked some details on the fix and to send it upstream as well

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1059592
"Message and memory corruption in rsyslog"
commented asking for the submitter to get the fix in raring which is 
needed for SRUing. The bug suggest that the issue is fixed in the recent 
rsyslog versions if somebody feels like merging with Debian (we have 
5.8.6 and debian testing has 5.8.11)
