And what's wrong with PAM, in your glorious opinion? As usual, your mouth talks about things which you have no clue...

While working on personal project to track source code releases, I noticed that our ap/vbetool is using version 1.2.2. Although version 1.2.2 was once available from vbetool's download site at http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/vbetool/download/ (and this is the location used by other distro's which once included vbetool-1.2.2), that version has now been removed, leaving the most recent version there at 1.1.

I'm not concerned about how to find 1.2.2 tarballs (there are plenty in Slackware mirror sites all over the place), rather why was 1.2.2 withdrawn from the project's download site? Hopefully not due to a security issue.

I've googled extensively looking for possible explanations but found nothing about it. Does anyone have some inside information (or better googling skills)? If there is something wrong with 1.2.2 then maybe we should be reverting to version 1.1 ...

The definitive upstream appears to be Dave Airlie, not Matthew Garrett.
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/vbetool/

Didier Spaier · 06-15-2017, 05:04 AM

However, the man page states:

Code:

AUTHOR
       vbetool was written by Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>, based  on
       code   from   read-edid   by   John   Fremlin  <john@fremlin.de>,  LRMI
       (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lrmi/)            and            XFree
       (http://www.xfree86.org).  It  is  released  under the terms of the GNU
       General Public License.

This doesn't contradict what you said, but illustrates the fact that it is sometimes hard to agree upon which repo should be considered "official" or "upstream" for a software that its original author ceased to maintain a while ago.
Other examples come to mind, at least fbterm and newt.

The situation became even worse with many people cloning on GitHub "comatose" repos, many of them "just in case" and without doing anything further.
Sorry for the rant.

Thanks for finding the Dave Airlie git repo.

It was partly because of the authorship highlighted by Didier that I assumed that mjg59's site was vbetool's real home. Another persuasive factor was that the .spec file from a fedora package of version 1.2.2 had the line:

Code:

Source0:        http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/vbetool/download/vbetool-%{version}.tar.bz2

Interestingly, the package history in that same .spec file mentions the changes made by Dave Airlie - precisely as described in his git repo at freedesktop.org i.e. mjg59 was hosting the updated vbetool for some time but no longer. I wonder why?

Anyway the tarball in ap/vbetool looks like it's based on the git repo - there's a left over .gitignore file, all file sizes match and the dates are pretty close too, so I'll take it that the git repo is the definitive upstream now.

Most likely is a political issue, or even a bandwidth issue, as the latest vbetool developed by mjg59 is on version 1.1.

The version 1.2.2 have another maintainer, as you noticed.

If Perl gets upgraded, the included DBD::mysql must not be upgraded to version 4.042. There are Unicode handling changes that are not backwards compatible and break some applications. See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=121921 and https://forum.bestpractical.com/t/pr...web-ui/32001/2, for example.
