Dear Release Team,
Version 1.2.0-rc5-3 of the librsb package in stretch suffers a few severe
bugs leading to numerically wrong results. These were solved in the new
upstream release 1.2.0-rc7.
Michele Martone, the upstream author, who also contributes to the Debian
package, prepared a minimal patch by backporting the fixes from version
1.2.0-rc7. This patch was attached to the report of Bug#870137.
I am attaching below the debdiff between 1.2.0-rc5-3 and the stretch
proposed-update 1.2.0-rc5-3+deb9u1. This version includes the patch
proposed by Michele Martone as well as a unit test C source file for
verifying that the fix is really implemented. I added small changes to
debian/rules and debian/clean for compiling, running and cleaning this
unit test.
Please, tell me whether this upload would be appropriate for the next
point release of stretch.
Best regards,
Raael LaboissiÚre
