Bug Description

Binary package hint: munin

munin (1.4.4-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Merge bugfix release from debian testing. Remaining changes:
    - debian/rules, debian/munin-node.upstart: Convert to upstart.

munin (1.4.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. Mainly bugfixes. Including fixes for:
    - node does not read files in plugin configuration directory in
      alphabetical order (Closes: #564098)
    - munin-cgi-graph: Error "Premature end of script headers:
      munin-cgi-graph" in in webserver logs (Closes: #570545)
  * Suggest logtail in munin-node instead of munin-plugins-extra, as amavis
    plugin is now part of munin-node.
  * Bump standards-version to 3.8.4, no changes necessary.
  * Remove default limits for the cpu plugin (Closes: #564239)
  * New mysql plugin does not function with default configuration
    (Closes: #569047). Thanks to Michael Shuler spotting this!
  * Fix amavis default configuration (Closes: #567923)
  * Add default configuration for exim_mailstats for logdir,logname.
  * Extend default configuration for df to df*.
  * Place NEWS file only in munin,munin-node packages (Closes: #567844)

I think this can be considered a bugfix release, but I could go through hoops and request a full FFE for it.

I'm attaching the debdiff against Debian.

Upstream ChangeLog:
munin 1.4.4, r3276,3379, 2010-2-26

I agree that the new upstream version is mainly bug fixes.

It seems that there is at least one new feature:

 * proxy_plugin: New proxy plugin, that makes it possible for a single Munin

The diffstat is also important:

 49 files changed, 2040 insertions(+), 308 deletions(-)

So I'd rather have a Feature Freeze Exception. Please ask for a FFe.

summary: - Please merge munin 1.4.4-1 from Debian testing
+ [FFe] Please merge munin 1.4.4-1 from Debian testing

It's running on my server (backported to Hardy) on the main node and more than a dozen OpenVZ nodes, without any problems (which are not also given in 1.4.3).
