[Mageia-dev] Security updates - Help needed!

[David Walser]

There are several packages that need security updates that either have not been built yet, or there are some issues that need help and/or input from packagers.

Please help out with these where you can.

I'll try to organize these into categories and give a little info on them so it's easy to see if you can and want to help.
