 andrewsh | because if you're using matrix.org's synapse, you're using their repos anyway | 20:25:44 |
| andrewsh | which can provide newer synapse | 20:25:52 |
 Cadair | well I mean I am sure some other people would also use an updated twisted 😁 | 20:26:10 |
| andrewsh | if you're using Debian's synapse, you're at least on testing where synapse is >= 18 | 20:26:14 |
| andrewsh | erm | 20:26:18 |
| andrewsh | twister >= 18 | 20:26:20 |
| andrewsh | and if you're on backports there's no synapse | 20:26:31 |
| Cadair | I am sure the core team packaging synapse will not want to also maintain a twisted package | 20:27:52 |
| Cadair | but makes sense to have a concrete justification to actually put something in backports | 20:28:31 |
| andrewsh | it doesn't make sense to put anything into backports because synapse team already maintains things on their own and they don't use backports | 20:31:40 |
| andrewsh | there is work in progress to make that unnecessary and to provide packages in backports directly | 20:31:57 |
| andrewsh | but it is not yet complete | 20:32:05 |
| Cadair | Thanks for all your hard work :l | 21:03:52 |
| Cadair | | 21:04:00 |
 [uhoreg] | If anyone is feeling adventurous, I've uploaded a quick build of twisted 18 here: https://debian.uhoreg.ca/backports/twisted/ THIS IS NOT A PROPER BUILD, AND IS COMPLETELY UNTESTED. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. | 22:05:00 |
| [uhoreg] | In theory, I think you should be able to add "deb https://debian.uhoreg.ca/backports/twisted/" to your apt sources. | 22:06:32 |

 Jörg Sommer | Does anyone know, why the postinst script of the synapse package from matrix doesn't restart the process? That's bad for automated upgrades. | 13:42:48 |
 Paul | automatic restarting might be a bit heavy-handed | 14:25:42 |
| Jörg Sommer | But it's common for package updates and it's necessary to bring the new code in action. Otherwise the bugs stay online and the user questions why the new version doesn't work. | 15:07:06 |

| richvdh | andrewsh: btw, nothing to do with the security drama, but we realised that twisted 18.4 needs pyopenssl 16.0 or later | 13:38:36 |
| richvdh | (of which there are existing backports packages) | 13:38:48 |
| richvdh | but we should probably update the Twisted 18.4 packages | 13:39:06 |
| andrewsh | oh, okay 🙂 | 13:39:13 |
| andrewsh | wait | 13:39:25 |
| andrewsh | it's already 16.2.0-1 in stable | 13:39:35 |
