Let it open, so we can see, what we'll do next.

First step is probably to add a ref to that FAQ to
README.Debian.

There are two tricks:

a) send the mail to control@ (done in this mail via Bcc,
   so replies don't annoy the control processor)
b) use the "submitter" command, see above.

Using "package" is just good style and helps avoid errors.

Bug#344601: libgnomevfs2-common: Extract optional modules

2005-12-23 Thread Elrond
Package: libgnomevfs2-common
Version: 2.10.1-5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Can you try to extract modules, that have costly
dependencies into an extra package, that is Recommended by
this package?

Simple example:

/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libsmb.so

seems to implement the smb vfs layer and uses libsmbclient.

I don't need smb in my gnome based apps. And I don't want
libsmbclient on my system.

Recommends would be the right thing, as it means "You
really should install it. If you don't install it, expect
missing features."

Here's a quick list of modules, that I'd move into such a
package:

libcdda.so
libsmb.so
libvfs-test.so (whatever that one is good for?)

How should this be done?

The guest OS can only work with stuff, that looks like
"real hardware" to it.

It needs something, that looks like a "real harddisk".
With a "real partition table" and a "real filesystem".

Of course you can create a full fs image from the specified
directory, put it in /tmp and let qemu work against that.

qemu-make-debian-root is doing something like that for a
debian install.

For windows, you'd need to create a vfat image (as ntfs
support is still an issue).

Any changes to the temporary image would be lost after
shutting down qemu. Unless you unpack the image after
shutdown of qemu and put it back in the real fs.


All of the above sounds like a big script, that should be
put around qemu.

vmware (commercial emulator) has this mode.

Bug#310587: rageircd uses too much CPU

2005-05-24 Thread Elrond
Package: rageircd
Version: 2.0.0-3

Hi,

A completely idle rageircd (no clients connected) raises
the number of context switches on my smaller box from about
50switches/sec to about 250switches/sec.

Running strace scrolls with this:
gettimeofday({1116938814, 401190}, NULL) = 0
select(7, [4 5 6], [], NULL, {0, 1000}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1116938814, 406871}, NULL) = 0
select(7, [4 5 6], [], NULL, {0, 1000}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1116938814, 416843}, NULL) = 0
select(7, [4 5 6], [], NULL, {0, 1000}) = 0 (Timeout)


Maybe the --with-engine option, which was mentioned in the
other bugreport, helps getting this better?

Bug#304804: saods9: Crash at "Horizontal Cut Graph"

2005-04-15 Thread Elrond
Package: saods9
Version: 3.0.3-1

Thanks for packaging ds9, gave me an easy chance of testing
it.

I converted a color .jpeg to .fits using gimp.
Then loaded it into ds9.

Finally selected "Analysis -> Horizontal Cut Graph"

Sometimes I have to move the mouse over the picture to
"enforece" the crash, but ultimately is ends with:

% ds9
alloc: invalid block: 0x8df2820: 0 0 0
zsh: abort  ds9

I doubt this is expected behaviour.
I guess, this is an upstream problem, but I leave that
decision to the maintainer.

milter-greylist 2.0 has just been released.

Attached is very simplistic debian packaging for it.

Some notes about it:

- I am NOT going to act as the maintainer for it.
  (I don't have the time.)

- This needs testing

- Fix up the "copyright" file

- The init script probably has problems stopping the milter
  on 2.4 kernels, see bugs.debian.org/278198

- To repeat:
  I'm not going to maintain it.
  If you have improvements for the packaging, don't send
  them to me, you'd better send them to this bug.

Good!

Until then, I'd suggest, you let the security team know,
that your package has local versions due to above mentioned
reasoning. So they can decide, what to do, if and when
those packages have issues.

Some time after filing the bug, I finally found out some
details of the local changes, and I have some possible
ideas to get them done in other ways:

* sqlite: As I understand, there's only an addition.
  - It might be put in an extra .c, so that it's only used in
monotone.
  - The code using it might be rewritten to use a loop with
sqlite3_prepare
(It's not faster than sqlite3_exec, as that uses the
 former.)
* lua:
  As I understand it, the changes are only to remove a
  function for the interpreter, that basicly does system()
  (as in libc). So one can't accidentally pass filenames
  with wildcards/backticks into the shell.
  - Instead, one could just register a failing function by
that name into the interpreter.
* popt: I don't know.


Of course, the sqlite changes should be proposed to
upstream for inclusion.

Yep, that would have been helpful.

Maybe better put this into a README.Debian or TODO.Debian.

(while there: /usr/share/doc/monotone/README currently does
not give any vital information to the user, really)

Hmm. As I don't know anything about the script (not my

Hi,

monotone on i386 has sqlite3 statically linked into the

changelog nor debian's changelog for a good reason to do
this.

Normally, this is a NO-NO due to support/security issues.
(The security team would need to update your package, if
sqlite3 has a problem).

It also looks like monotone has lua in it, can't tell for

Even if we assume, that both licenses are incompatible (we
have evidence for that, I think):

I have asked on #d-d, and here are the most relevant
answers I got:

12:35  Elrond: not if they aren't linked
together, no.
12:35  Elrond: do they link to each other?
...
12:37  Elrond: it's widely agreed that the interfaces
of perl modules are abstract enough to not pose
license-compatibility issues

If anyone still feels like contacting debian-legal, they
can, of course.

Do we talk about TrueType or PS Type1 fonts here?

Both of which might be useful to other systems, including
X11, ghostscript, openoffice, etc.

For truetype, the current naming scheme seems to be
"ttf-*", so that could be something like "ttf-cm" or so. No
idea.

For Type1, I can only see a very few t1-* packages.


The next interesting question here is: How much of the
fonts is needed by the typical debian-build? Will it need
all the .mf sources? Will it be happy with T1 fonts?
Is it worthwhile to split off all the unneeded fonts into
tetex-fonts?

This was just as a "more modular design can sometimes help"

I haven't followed it too deeply either. But the generic
idea I can see:
Have small packages with clear functionality, that then can
be easily replaced by a "from scratch" new package from the
to-be-transitioned-to package.


> can you elaborate on how this might affect TeX?

It depends on how tetex and texlive want to coexist.

If they're not intended to coexist at all, this does not
affect TeX at all. Each does its own job and decides on how
to rule the world, and conflicts with the other. Job done.

The other extreme: if they should coexist and be
interchangeable and stuff, it might for example make sense
to have bunches of virtual packages, which either of the
both can provide. Like tex-ctan-PACKAGE or tex-xdvi, etc...
So that other packages can depend on the feature they need.
Say tetex-beamer needs pstricks, it would then depend on
tex-ctan-pstricks, which would be provided by
texlive-pstricks and the tetex-*, that is going to have it.


So I think, the question is: What is the intended audience
of tetex vs. texlive?
One part of this answer has already been given: For
build-dependencies, tetex should be the choice.
But what about the rest?

As the original author of the init script, I have to say,

If people want a silent boot, they are free to set

extra config support for this in /etc/default/procps or the

Bug#332521: Split xbase-clients

2005-10-06 Thread Elrond
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

xbase-clients by now has an installed size of 4,5MB. Quite
a lot for a "base" package. One, that nearly every X
workstation has installed.

It has a lot of specific add-ons, that not everyone needs.

I've tried to create some categories of tools in
xbase-clients:

- diagnostics / debugging:
xev, xfd, xrandr, xtrap*, xlsatoms, dpsexec, dpsinfo,
xprop, xdpyinfo, xwininfo, glxinfo, xvinfo, 
appres, editres, listres, viewres,
Xmark, x11perf, and x11perfcomp
- management tools:
xvidtune, atobm, bmtoa, fstobdf, 
- desktop utilities:
(see Bug#199675)
beforelight, oclock, xclock, xmag, xload, xeyes,
xconsole, xbiff,
- demos
xgc, dga, ico, glxgears, texteroids, xlogo, 
- basic tools:
xset, xsetroot, xrefresh, xkill, xauth, startx,
xinit.
(for xauth see Bug#151613)
- discouraged tools
both xorg*config tools


The intention of this list is to serve as a starting point.
There are surely hundreds of things, that need to be
changed in it, and it misses some tools from xbase-clients,
that I do not use nor do I have an idea, what they _really_
could do.

Hi,

"alpha sparc arm s390" are on the "Architecture" list so we
can easily see, if qemu builds on those hosts _at all_.

These architectures are listed as "testing" on the qemu web
site. We have tried to find people who test a build for us,
but finally, it was just way simpler to let the build farm
do the trick for us.

All of that said, this is more or less an expected problem,
so I'm downgrading the bug to "minor". I was considering
setting "wontfix", but that's too harsh.

Hi Paul,

I took a quick look at your qvm86 source tarball (daily
snapshot from dad-answers).

It's currently intended to be bundled directly into qemu.

Is it possible to unbundle it somewhat?

The idea is:

- Only kqemu.h will be needed to build qemu with qvm86
  support.

- qemu-qvm86-miniminal.patch does only as few mods to the
  qemu tree as necessary. This probably means basicly
  checking for kqemu.h existing, defining ENABLE_KQEMU
  in config.h, and changing device names.

- The qvm86 tree itself can be used standalone to build the
  kernel module.

There's a buffer overflow in one part of the patch:

   +  char *binname = "/gnuplot_x11";
   +  char *fullname;
   ...

   +  strcat(fullname, X11_DRIVER_DIR);
   +  strcat(fullname, binname);

sizeof(binname) will return only 4. (the size of the poiner)
So strcat() will write over unallocated memory.

Please either use strlen() for binname and X11_DRIVER_DIR,
or just asprintf().

I am not sure, if this can be exploited and if it could, if
it is a security issue.

Bug#323184: valgrind does not work for simplest programs

2005-09-07 Thread Elrond
Hi,

This problem has been partly fixed in 3.0.1-1.

Partly means, that
a) programs now mostly run under valgrind
b) valgrind now throws loads of warnings against me
   (probably some suppressions are needed, maybe some fixes
to libc6 are still needed, whatever)
c) some programs SEGV after running.

Simple hello world programs just generated bunches of
warnings and then execute. More complex thingies like
/bin/ls or /usr/bin/id generate more warnings, then print
their output, more warnings and finally report a SIGSEGV.

Current environment:
valgrind: 3.0.1-1
libc6: 2.3.5-6
kernel: 2.4.29

Shipping config.h and Makefile are a good thing, no question.

But for a normal admin, sample-server and sample-client are
really good debugging tools, and they should be shipped in
sasl2-bin (or cyrus-sasl-2.1-bin), because the normal admin
does not want to build them just to use them.

Not even /etc/default/dcc-milter does exist, which is

Anyway, you might want to look at clamav-milter fof a

First fixup the paths, they look a bit wrong.

Then you need to add a "Document: " at the beginning, I
believe.

Finally try putting them in your /usr/share/doc-base and
run "install-docs -i /usr/share/doc-base/qemu" and
"install-docs -i /usr/share/doc-base/qemu-tech" and see, if

Thanks for it.

I've added it as is to the pkg-qemu repository, including a
changelog entry refering to you.

It's going to be in the next upload and that will finally
close the bug.

Well, if someone wants an entry for the tech docs, they'll
have to send it in. Very simple. ;)

Bug#296337: Possible inclusion of kqemu (qemu accelerator for x86 on x86) in Debian ?

I personally have to say, that I'm okay with non-free
existing. Some software is "free enough" for some people,
but not free enough for the DFSG.

No, I don't want a discussion on non-free or not. I don't
have the time for it, and I'm not fully informed on it
either. I just wanted to say, that the current Debian QEMU
Team has diverse opinions on _this_ particular point.

Basicly, that's the point.

I'm not going to put my free time into non-free software.

Not to mention, that qemu as is makes enough trouble to the
debian qemu team.


> That means if any person is willing and is able to maintain kqemu in

Right.

Interested parties can try to file a RFP (Request For
Package or so) bug on the wnpp pseudo package.
Check www.debian.org for "work needing and prospective
packages". I don't have an URL handy.

A downloader/installer framework as such could be free.
But I'd highly recommend hosting it in a distinct space,
read: Not on the normal debian qemu space.


> In the hope of having been clear enough,

I think yes.

Basicly we know about it.

And when we have more time, we will try to update the
package. (my "debian time" was consumed by fixing qemu
problems. ;) )

The hardest part of the update is to find out, which of our
patches are already included in upstream, and which patches
need to be updated to still apply to current upstream.

When we know that, we're much closer to updating the
packages, I think. Unless upstream change something
dramatically.

Bug#416677: python-numpy: array indexing memory corruption

2007-03-29 Thread Elrond
Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.0.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

The following should be obvious enough:

bug-thingies$ cat crash2.py
from numpy import array
sel = array([False,True])
p1 = array([11.])
p1[sel] = p1
bug-thingies$ python crash2.py
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x081f6938 ***
Aborted

Note: Yes, I'm fully aware of the fact, that the above
  python program is bad/wrong code!
  Nevertheless, it should not crash like this.
  It really should give an exception.

I have set the severity to important, as this bug could
have security implications. At least, with the following
assumptions:

1) The arrays could have been read from (untrusted) data
   files.
   Note: They only contain data, nothing more, one should
   not assume, that this data comes from a trusted source!

2) The glibc issue really means some memory corruption, so
   if the above (malicous) data would be constructed with
   more care, an exploit might be possible.

I leave tagging as RC/security to the maintainers or other
interested parties.

Bug#408942: matplotlib and numpy in testing

2007-01-29 Thread Elrond
Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 0.87.7-0.1
Severity: serious

matplotlib in testing defaults to numpy. But it does not
work with the numpy in testing:

>>> import pylab
RuntimeError: module compiled against version 109 of C-API but this 
version of numpy is 102


I have marked this bug as RC, because the package does not
work in its default installation, and fixing it isn't even
simple for the average user/admin. They have to find the
config and switch from numpy to numarray/numeric.

The solutions to this problem include:

- Unfreeze numpy
- Change the default, and document, that matplotlib and
  numpy-on-testing is b0rked.
- Rebuild on testing

matplotlib now defaults to TkAgg.

But there is no dependency on python-tk.

I mark this as important, as it makes the package unusable

YMMV.

What to do:
- Put "python-tk |" in front of the dependency on python-gd.

Bug#383189: xaralx: New upstream and some ideas

2006-08-15 Thread Elrond
Package: xaralx
Version: 0.6r1442-4
Severity: wishlist

As you probably already noticed, 0.7 has been released.

While you're at packaging it, I have some ideas for your
consideration:

1) Quote from the announcement:

* Product rename: Now that the product is increasingly close in
functionality to the original Xara Xtreme, we're renaming the product
Xara Xtreme for Linux or (Linux Edition).

   So you might consider renaming the debian package,
   letting the new one "Replaces: xaralx (<<0.7)" and
   making xaralx a dummy package, that depends on the new
   one.

   I have not yet checked, what the autopackage calls
   itself now.

2) Split out examples into an "Architecture: all" package.

   This should reduce the main binary package by a few MB
   hopefully.

So the extra packages are currently named xaralx-*?
That means, that the upcoming name change involves even

Do you think, that this is a good idea?

Package: icinga-common

Hi,

I think, it would be a nice idea to have check_apt in the
default shipped localhost_icinga.cfg. It's quite a simple
test for a machine. People can still disable it anyway.

ckeck_apt is in nagios-plugins-basic, which is installed
anyway. So no extra dependency either.

I would suggest the following entry, because there is no
point in running check_apt every 5 minutes:

define service{
use generic-service
host_name   localhost
service_description Updates Available
check_command   check_apt
check_interval  720   # 12 hours
max_check_attempts  2 # Retry once
retry_interval  60# an hour later
}

Package: bacula-fd

Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Could you allow the "-k" option to bacula-fd?

Starting with -k gives the following error:

   "Keep readall caps not implemented this OS or missing libraries."

My current guess: bacula-fd is not linked to the libcap
library. After a quick look at bacula's configure.in and
src/lib/priv.c this seems to really be the case.

So probably just having libcap-dev installed while
building bacula should solve this.

Exactly right.

I only want the ability for admins to use the -k option.
I don't want this option enabled by default.
But the current build does not allow the -k option, because
bacula-fd is not linked with libcap-dev.

So my only request is: Please build with libcap-dev. Admins
can then change /etc/default/bacula-fd on their own.

I *think* this should be as easy as adding libcap-dev to

Package: bacula-common
Version: 5.2.6+dfsg-1~bpo60+1
Severity: minor

Hi,

I hope it is okay for nitpicking on the default config. I
just realize those bits while improving my complete new
setup.

Anyway, the default config has the log in /var/lib:

  /usr/share/bacula-common/defconfig# grep -w log bacula-dir.conf 
  append = "/var/lib/bacula/log" = all, !skipped
  append = "/var/lib/bacula/log" = all, !skipped

/var/log/bacula is completely unused on my system.

Wether there should be some default log rotation, is an
added bonus question. I personally would vote for it.

This is quite attractive, I can understand that.
Really I would love to see this.

BUT ...

... it will stop nice restores.
You have to restore to /tmp and all the restored files will
be owned by nobody and not the original owner. I don't know
if people are ready for this.

In a first step, I would suggest to add the capability
support, so that users can play with this feature and
learn.

In a second step, I would suggest making it easy for users
to enable this feature (maybe commented version in
/etc/default/bacula-fd?)
Or maybe add a debconf knob directly? So that people can
enable it easily while installing bacula-fd on all of their
client machines?


Just my personal thoughts.

Well, there are various scenarios, where people would like
to try -k and see how it works for them. I could describe
some of them, if needed.

That's why I suggested the first step: Give people the
option to try -k. If this actually turns out to be a great
thing, a debconf knob can be added later.

What's about the -Wl,--as-needed?

Bug#709297: nagios-plugins-basic/mail.cfg/check_smtp: starttls

2013-05-22 Thread Elrond
Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.16-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


Hi,

could you add the following to
/etc/nagios-plugins/config/mail.cfg?

I think, it's a reasonable setting:
- People running an smtp server with login want starttls
- I think the 30 days for warning are a good compromise. If
  it takes a few weeks to buy a new cert, that seems okay.
  Feel free to lower to 21,5.


define command {
command_namecheck_smtp_starttls
command_line/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_smtp -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' 
--starttls -D 30,10 
}


I leave it to you, if you want to add an additional version
for doing the same thing on port 587 (submission).


Cheers

Elrond

2011-09-22 Thread Elrond
Package: pidgin-data
Version: 2.7.3-1+squeeze1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

pidgin-data is quite large.

22 MB of its 26 MB are locales. Other packages have also
already started to split out the locales and only Recommend
them.

So could you please split the /usr/share/locale/ part of
pidgin-data into a new pidgin-locales package and let
pidgin-data "Recommends: pidgin-locales"?


Thanks

Bug#642458: libgstfarsight: Please only recommend gstreamer*bad,good

2011-09-22 Thread Elrond
Package: libgstfarsight0.10-0
Version: 0.0.20-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

libgstfarsight0.10-0 is often installed as a dependency of
libpurple0 (pidgin and friends). Not everybody wants/uses
the full feature set of libgstfarsight0.10-0. See
bugs.debian.org/550918 as an example.

That said, I would suggest to

* As a minimum:
  Change the Depends on gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad to a
  Recommends. gstreamer*bad is named *bad for a reason. So
  only recommending this seems very reasonable.

* Better:
  Change both gstreamer0.10-plugins-good and -bad to
  Recommends.

  I have tested this. It does not break most of
  the functionality of libpurple0.


Note: Recommends means "You REALLY should install this. If
you don't do it, expect missing functionality" which seems
appropiate here?


Thanks for your considerations

Elrond

Okay, so if an admin only wants to handle local .php files
on the default server they have to:

1. Install php-fpm, which then would hopefully bring
   /etc/nginx/conf.d/pkg_php-fpm.conf

2. Create /etc/nginx/apps.d/local_php.conf
   containing a global .php -> _provider_php entry

Did I get that right?

Bug#826145: letsencrypt.sh: Ship lighttpd module?

2016-06-02 Thread Elrond
Package: letsencrypt.sh
Version: 0.1.0-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

could you consider to provide the attached file as
/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-letsencrypt.sh-challenge.conf

You might leave activating it to the admin. But having the
file already in place might make the admin's live easier.

If you want to, you could add something like this to
README.Debian:

"""
Letting lighttpd serve the ACME challenges can be
accomplished by enabling the letsencrypt.sh-challenge
module on most setups:

lighty-enable-mod letsencrypt.sh-challenge
"""

I don't think, it's needed to put this in its own package
like the -apache2 one. It's just a file you ship, that wont
hurt anyone.

I think, both views are possible.

For nginx (I *might* provide the snippet in an upcoming
wishlist bug) the case is ever harder: The admin needs to
add a "include ..." by hand.

Well, they are there to "enhance" another package, namely
lighttpd. Most packages having an "Enhances:" tag ship
stuff that only gets used, if the appropiate enhanced
package is installed.


> Is there some thing like dh-apache2 to enable/deal with that conf, etc?

Sadly, there is not.

BUT:

javascript-common:postinst,prerm,postrm have snippets for
lighttpd to do what you want!

I *think* most of those should be the default.
I will check that and let you know.

That said, I wonder, whether FollowSymlinks is needed at
all? /var/lib/letsencrypt.sh/acme-challenges should be a
normal directory and the created files in there are files,
not symlinks?

Bug#827028: openssl: Consider adding Multi-Arch: foreign

2016-06-11 Thread Elrond
Package: openssl
Version: 1.0.2h-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It looks like openssl offers an architecture independent
(process/cli/network level) interface to its users.
Could you consider setting it to Multi-Arch: foreign?  It's
usually a matter of adding one line to debian/control.

This would hopefully improve install options for different
architectures.  Like for example using the x32 variant of
the package on a mixed amd64/x32 system.


Cheers

The current configuration scheme of nginx is mostly manual. 
That is: The admin has to edit (or replace) config files,
always.

What we can do: Provide a config snippet (for
letsencrypt.sh) that the admin can reference in his/her
manually edited config file.

There currently is no way to auto-activate that snippet.

I have filed a debian bug to create a directory for
snippets that are auto-activated in the default virtual
host. #822792

dir-listings are disabled by default.
symlinks are enabled by default.
That said, it's probably better to enforce things, just in
case.

I have attached a new version of the config snippet.
Note: I have renamed it from 10-* to 50-*, so that it gets
loaded much later and has a good chance of overriding most
things.

Bug#827371: letsencrypt.sh: Use hook.d folder?

2016-06-15 Thread Elrond
Package: letsencrypt.sh
Version: 0.1.0-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I am starting to test hook scripts to deploy the
certificates into appropiate places. One idea I got while
doing that: Have a hook.d folder with scripts that get all
executed.

Plan:
- Add the attached script to /etc/letsencrypt.sh
- Add HOOK="/etc/letsencrypt.sh/run-hookd.sh" to the main
  config or a conf.d/00-debian.sh.
- Create a /etc/letsencrypt.sh/hook.d
- I am not entirely sure about the options to run-parts.

What do you think?
