I think debian should offer publicsuffix via stable-updates. publicsuffix ships a file that is updated semi-regularly to reflect the state of the network (a list of all DNS domains which members of the public might be able to register immediate subzones). It's used for HTTP cookie policy and for X.509 wildcard certificate issuance, among other uses. In this way, it's similar to tzdata. I've prepared a "jessie" branch on the debian packaging repo, which currently builds fine on stable, and is a simple package: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/publicsuffix The only difference in the resultant package (beyond the updated data) is that the version in jessie (20140902-1) ships with only the legacy location for the data file (/usr/share/publicsuffix/effective_tld_names.dat) while the updated file ships that as a symlink to the modern location of the file (/usr/share/publicsuffix/public_suffix_list.dat) Any concerns if i upload this to proposed-updates with an eye toward stable-updates? --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
