Well, that's the part where I'm confused. If Joonas or I package the dependency, can we get it into the Koha APT repo ASAP? My first priority is resolving Bug 13193 as soon as possible. Martin has already agreed to push the change, but we're just waiting on the dependency being available. I figure it'll be in the Koha APT repo before it's in Debian stable (one way or another), so I'm trying to facilitate getting that dependency in there one way or another. If Joonas or I can package the dependency and submit it somewhere or to someone to get it into the Koha APT repository, I'm sure we'd both make the time to do so. That's really what I'd like to know at this point. Otherwise, I imagine we might package it but maintain it locally, and that seems suboptimal for everyone. (But is more optimal than leaving the bug unpatched.)

Which if it doesn't end up in Debian, becomes your responsibility. Chris On 28/11/19 1:32 pm, dcook@prosentient.com.au wrote:

That does sound reasonable, although it seems like a very large time commitment at this point. (I’ve thought about taking over the idzebra-2.0 package but that one has seemed like too much time/responsibility as well, which is maybe why no one else has taken it over yet either.) Then again it might be one of those things that once I’m in and used to the Debian Perl group that it would be less of an issue than I imagine.

The best way to do it is to join the debian perl group and package it that way.
Robin https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=robin@catalyst.net.nz I https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=chrisc@catalyst.net.nz And Mirko https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=mirko%40abunchofthings.net
Have been doing that. This way it gets into debian, and ubuntu as a result. And the package you create for submission there will be of a high enough standard to go on to debian.koha-community.org until it gets into a stable release.
If we do it that way, the debian security team watch the package too.

Hi all,
Joonas Kylmälä and I have been waiting about 2 months for a Debian package dependency on “Bug 13193 - Make Memcached usage fork safe” https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13193.
I don’t know if Mirko is just busy or hasn’t seen it, but is there any way that we could build the package and submit it to the community repository?
This is a critical bug in Koha, so it would be good to get this resolved ASAP.
