[Mageia-dev] Security updates - help needed!

[David Walser]

I was asked in the packagers meeting to update this list.

I've been really busy at work, and don't have much time to work on these, so help is needed.  Thanks to all that have helped so far.

Also, Manuel pointed out a bugzilla search that will typically contain most of these.
https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=comp:secu+-@qa-b

......... updated initial message below ........

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.
