Package: htcondor
Version: 8.6.8~dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal

8.6.8~dfsg.1-1 was uploaded over 3 years ago. Since then multiple
upstream releases were made, possibly (didn't check) addressing CVE of

Bugs with severity grave
1) #963777 condor: CVE-2019-18823

and possibly

Bugs with severity serious
2) #925657 condor: ftbfs with GCC-9
3) #966726 condor: Unversioned Python removal in sid/bullseye

In our case we also encountered "buffer overflow detected" upon running
condor_q -json and it is unlikely worth filing a new issue without checking
first if a upstream work of the past 3 years has likely addressed it.

So it would be great to see a newer version of condor be shipped in
Debian.

Cheers,

Hello,

I had been wondering if the htcondor package is effectively orphaned.
There hasn't been any activity in quite some time.

It looks like the wusc.edu developer stopped in 2018.
https://contributors.debian.org/contributor/ttheisen-guest@alioth/

It looks like the Debian developer Michael Hanke is still around as of
2020 though.

There are updated packages floating around... BCCing someone who might
facilitate pinging etc. I bet if changes pushed somewhere, should be
easy to get updated package finalized etc

Thank you!

I'm in the Debian Python, Med & Science teams and have HTCondor
deployed on our labs cluster. I might be able to provide some
assistance if you need.

Is there any chance the Python bindings might get re-enabled in the new
release?

@Tim That is great to hear that you're planning to push your changes for 8.8.12 to NeuroDebian. I have been working on packaging the same release, and I have everything working except GLOBUS (which causes it to fail to build for me).

I've pushed what I have to https://salsa.debian.org/aqw-guest/htcondor

Let me know if/how you'd like to coordinate. :-)

I also have a problem with `/usr/lib/condor/libexec/condor_gpu_discovery -properties` segfaulting on ppc64el. It sounds a lot like HTCondor bug #7605 [1], but persists in 8.8.12. What is the preferred way to report bugs to the HTCondor project: the mailing list or on HTCondor's bug tracker?

Hello,

I was wondering if you'd had any chance to work on htcondor for Debian?

I hadn't seen anything show up on tracker or in
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/htcondor

Thanks,
Diane
