Hi all,

is there a volunteer to step in ?  Otherwise, can I try to solve that bug
by upgrading to 2.5.0 ?

Cheers,

Dear Thomas and Java team

In http://bugs.debian.org/684453, you have suggested to transfer the gwt
package under the debian-java umbrella.  We agreed, and action was delayed by a
technical problem on the Dpkg side.

It is a bit embarassing to ping you with a grave bug, but if you would like to
take over the package, this is the good moment...

In particular I do not know if the best resolution for this bug is to upgrade
to 2.5.0 or to patch, so I am reluctant to take action by myself, worrying that
I might complicate your work on Gerrit.

Please let me know if I can help,

Hi Charles,

thank you for pinging me. I've just spend three days on Debian work. Could you 
deal with it by updating to 2.5.0 and also set the maintainer to the java 
packaging team?

There's also a Git repo at 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/gwt.git
The branch thkoch_patches contains commits to publish the maven artifacts.

I've also filled a bug at Gerrit and asked them to update to gwt 2.5

Regards,

Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro

Hi Thomas,

I have updated the source package to 2.5.0 (checked copyrights, refreshed the
patches), but unfortunately it does not build.  I suppose that some ground work
is needed on the Java side, but I am not able to do it.

I committed all my changes to the Git repository.

Cheers,

Please note that the initial fix was incomplete, CVE-2012-5920 was assigned for
that: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-5920
