So you're Debian's Mr. Antispam, my humble apologies.  

What I am missing on your statitics page is when statistics started
and spam/ham ratio over all postings, not only reviewed ones or did I
oversee sth?  Moreover monthly summaries to judge current situation
preferrably with graphics (cf webalizer statistics) would be a plus.

I can only speak about what I received on 20+ mailing list (mostly
non-Debian) during the last month.  Current spam ratio is quite
acceptable for me ( <10 out of >500 per day including personal mail ),
it's a single keystroke to move spam to a special folder that is fed
to spamprobe train-spam hourly.  I can live with the current
situation.

Finally, if you want me to help on anything Debian related, nag DAM to
reopen my account (which one you can deduce from my gpg key).  Being a
DD from '95 to '04, I won't do any substantial work on Debian without
a vote.

Thanks
  Siggy

What's interesting to add is that I've heard at Debconf that the
identified (and removed) spam is now used to feed out CRM114 on
lists.d.o (or will be, I'm not sure). So, the more spam filtering is
done...the better our spam filters might become.

I'm grateful for those suggestions, Anthony.  That page is just a pain

quite some chunks.

Yep, I thought the same but didn't dare to drop it.  I agree.

I marked it as green now, together with upstream support.

I guess there is no real concern there as glibc/gcc maintainers are mainly
working on that architectures.  So porter requirements can be waived, IMHO.
However there should be port maintainers for the others and I see some
lacking in that regard.  (One gets hit by a bus and the port dies or
similar.)

ACK.

True.  I'm even not sure if everything's up-to-date there, yet.  Aliases
would be great like machine=$arch-porterbox.

hppa has currently 4 buildds because at least one is very crashy.  But maybe
we should decommission that twin then.

I fully agree on the waiver thing, it also helps when revisiting the
decisions.

While that might be currently true for alpha I expect that to drop rapidly
as soon as problems pop up because nobody will care.  That's probably
playing into the number of porters part, but still.

There is still the problem that we want porters to commit themselves for
a cycle.  I don't see how we should find out about them, too, if they
do not reply on mailinglists for example.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern

and one is security-only and the 4th is really the porterbox and the

Bug#539944: RFH: logcheck / also an idea for a logcheck rewrite

2009-08-04 Thread martin f krafft
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

We could use help with logcheck, specifically:

- bug triaging, which is mainly updating rule files
- bug fixing of features and faults
- implementing templates for rules, e.g. @IPADDR@ and refactoring
  the rule files so that there aren't seven dozens different regexps
  for IP addresses
- improving the performance and usefulness
  * only process filters for packages that are installed
  * find a way to avoid the multipass approach logcheck currently
takes

The package is maintained with Git, but there are no branches, so
use is trivial.

If you're interested, please pass me your alioth.debian.org account
so that I can give you commit access.

* * *

In the long run, I'd love to see a rewrite of logcheck with some of
the following features:

- tag-based, so that an admin can choose whether to see e.g. daemon
  restart messages, authentication attempts for invalid/nonexistent
  accounts, etc.
- runs as a daemon and can process new log entries instantly.
- possibly interfaces directly with rsyslog to avoid having to go
  via log files
- configurable actions, e.g. mail, jabber, file, postgresql
- provide patterns/templates and easy instructions (possibly
  automatic filter generators) to encourage package maintainers to
  provide the files themselves.
- possibly require message samples with each filter to allow for
  a test suite.
- and many more.

Please send further ideas to this bug report.

Talk to me if you're interested in this, and I'd be happy to assist.
I don't have time to do it myself.

orphaning kazehakase

2009-08-04 Thread Andres Salomon
Hi,

Is anyone interested in taking over kazehakase?

kazehakase -- GTK+-base web browser that allows pluggable rendering
engines

It needs some serious love; upstream still appears to be somewhat
active, but shifting gecko APIs and a lack of release in almost a year
makes this more challenging than simple packaging.  Oh, and knowing
japanese would probably help, as that's what upstream speaks.  It
currently fails to build (debian's 0.5.4, upstream's 0.5.6 release, and
the current svn trunk all FTBFS).

I no longer use the package, and I haven't heard a peep from Hidetaka
Iwai since...well, ever.  It's time for someone who actually uses it to
take it, or I'll request its removal from the archives.

So make it easy to maintain... Attached is an example converting it to
yaml with python table generation, coping with waivers.

I've made it automatically classify any arch with any failures as "at risk",
rather than letting it remain listed as a candidate. It'd probably be better
to have any warnings imply "at risk" and any failures come pretty close to
meaning "no", though...

Anyway, have a look, see what you think.

It'd be really nice to have all the buildd criteria be measurable (and then
automated). One idea might be to change "fast security" and "redundancy" into
speed/load measures, something like:

alpha   amd64   armels390
buildd-speed  95%100% 50%113%
(%ge of i386/amd64) 

buildd-load   55% 60% 95% 20%   

n-buildds   2   3   6   1

idle-buildds  0.9 1.2 0.3 0.8

where speed is calculated as the overall average of:

time-to-build-on-$ARCH / time-to-build-on-i386/amd64

(ie, dpkg takes 20s to build on alpha, versus 13s to build on i386 after
and amd64+source upload would give 154%)

load is the percentage of time on average that each buildd is actually 
building something, and idle-buildds is "n-buildds * (1 - buildd-load)". 
Release criteria are then something like "buildd-speed >= 50%",
"idle-buildds >= 1".

Cheers,
aj

  Description : Iceweasel/Firefox extension to use GnuPG on the web

 FireGPG is an Iceweasel (Mozilla Firefox) extension which brings an
 interface to perform OpenPGP operations over the web.  With it, you
 can encrypt, decrypt, sign or verify the signature of a text in any
 web page, including GMail, using GnuPG. There are also special
 buttons that appear specifically in GMail. This extension works fine
 with any webmail or text box in websites.
 .
 FireGPG is written in English and French and is translated to many
 more languages.


- 

FireGPG was in debian up until recently, but was removed due to
security concerns.  The new upstream version i'm preparing for debian
addresses those concerns, and i've been working with upstream to
address some other usability and security concerns.

My goal is also to make this package conform to the new draft policy
on xulrunner app extensions, as formulated here:

I originally filed the bug that got FireGPG removed from Lenny, and I
just wanted to say that I absolutely support its reintroduction to the
archive. FireGPG was removed because the old version had security flaws
and it was too late in the Lenny release cycle to contact upstream to
cherrypick the fixes from their svn. However, they seem to have a
receptive upstream and it's a very useful plugin for firefox.

This does assume though, that every buildd is doing everything which is not
true for all architectures.  And the buildd load is currently only calculated
and stored on the buildd and not centrally.  It could however be collected
at some point.  (We do not have all logs neither because security ones are
not mailed to the log repository but only to security people.)

Kind regards,

Bug#539784: address lookup errors from terminals

Yeah on the console too.  Is it a network-manager problem
maybe?  I use iwl3945 - it is definitely broken at Brendan's
Bakery on Mission in Santa Cruz - awesome sandwiches there.
Both the stock kernel and my own have that problem. But I
think it happened at home on the wire once.  MDNS problem?
iptables logs everything it blocks except windoze and it's
not logging anything blocked.  but i don't understand why
the browser works on the same names, does iceweasel keep a
dns cache?

at home if i use the stock debian kernel (2.6.26-17) there
is an arp loop on the wire interface asking who has 169.*
addrs.  i have been too lazy to figure out ip6tables so i
turned off ipv6 in my own kernel.

Apologies if this is not the source of this bug but it's

I first encountered this problem on a buggy wireless at a cafe.
Now I'm having it at home.

I can't explain this:

Non-authoritative answer:

Address: 64.22.103.163

I can call up the hostname in iceweasel just fine.

Now I can get it again in the command line, too, and everything seems 
fine again.  Great.

Er, check your spelling? That's not the same hostname.

It looks as though everything you pasted is working fine, under the reasonable
assumption that scriptdolphin.com is meant to exist, but scriptdolpin.com
is not. As such, I'm closing this bug; feel free to reopen it if you can
reproduce similar problems when using the same hostname consistently.

Can you (re)confirm that packages re-uploaded to NEW are processed according to the date of their first upload?

2009-08-04 Thread Charles Plessy
Dear FTP team,

when I notice potential problems in the debian/copyright file of packages in
the NEW queue, I contact the maintainers and suggest them to re-upload a
corrected version to save your time. (http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview).

The web summary of the queue contents lists the packages by upload date, but I
remember reading from you in a previous discussion that the queue is processed
according to the date of the first upload. Unfortunately, I lost the reference…

Can you confirm, or can somebody point me at the correct message in our lists
archive, so that I can document it on the wiki page?

Have a nice day,

For sure, Debian can suggest them git, Ubuntu can suggest them bzr, Fedora can
suggest them cvs, and Opensuze can suggest them svn.

I do not mind working with patches instad of archive updates. For Debian, it
also has the advantage of not having 12 orig.gz updates per year (12 × 20 Mo
archives). I do not know how it matters with recent hard drives, however…

And for the format of the patch, I do not know what to tell them apart that
unified diff is the preferred format of some Debian developers, and that we
like that others use the formats that we prefer. I think that is a too weak
argument, so unless there is a real flaw in the format used upstream, I will
not bother them for a change. This formats works with quilt, so I do not
understand why it would be difficult to get it work with the format ’3.0
(quilt)’ of dpkg. According to the current discussion, the problem is more
political than technical.

We already do not manage to agree internally on what is the best workflow. I
can propose Upstream to adapt their habits to our habits, but this has to come
with benefits that overcome the energy invested in the changes, and the fact
that what is best for distributor A will not match what distributor B expects.

Much saner in my opinion is to have a toolchain that is liberal in what it
accepts. (Hence the proposition to accept upstream ‘zip’ archives).

Have a nice day,

Fine. Whichever one of those they choose, it can consume and produce
unified-diff-format patches.

> And for the format of the patch, I do not know what to tell them apart

That's quite a misrepresentation; it's far wider than just “some Debian
developers” who prefer that format.

> and that we like that others use the formats that we prefer.

The point, rather, seems to be that unified-diff format is the de facto
standard format for exchanging patch information.

> I think that is a too weak argument, so unless there is a real flaw in

The flaw is that patch information in any format other than unified-diff
format is nowhere near as portable.

This is in opposition to the ideal of having standard [0] formats for
data interchange, and choosing them on the basis of what is already
widely produced and accepted.


[0] “standard” in this usage necessarily including “freely-implemented”,
which doesn't disqualify the other options being discussed, but I
put this footnote in the hope of forestalling useless discussions
about proprietary formats.
