Bug#927841: plowshare: plowmod is inherently insecure

2019-04-23 Thread Carl Suster
Control: severity -1 normal Thanks for your report. I have to disagree about the severity of this issue, however. To start with some history, the upstream developer moved all of the plowshare modules some time ago into a separate git repository with a name that included the word "legacy". A

Bug#906003: Keep plowshare-modules out of Debian releases

2018-08-14 Thread Carl Suster
It probably shouldn't have been in stretch, but as long as it does not cause trouble, you can let it rot there :-) Agreed that it shouldn't have been released in stretch; at the time I had the idea of supporting it through backports. Given the relatively low popcon statistics and activity in b

Bug#906003: Keep plowshare-modules out of Debian releases

2018-08-13 Thread Carl Suster
By now the snapshot that's in stretch is ~20 months out of date. Some of the modules will work and some won't, but over time more and more will break. The version of plowshare itself in stretch includes the plowmod script, so stretch users don't need the modules. I suppose by the same logic it

Package: plowshare-modules Severity: serious Justification: none The plowshare-modules package contains scripts that need frequent replacing to keep pace with changes to the websites supported by the scripts since those sites make frequent changes. The main package plowshare contains a script (pl

2017-01-18 Thread Carl Suster
This looks like https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues/2153 i.e. that the current version of mutagen that we have in Debian (1.36) is incompatible with the version of beets (1.3.19). Quoting from that issue: > when beets 1.3.19 was released, Mutagen 1.33 didn't exist yet. > When that was rel

Bug#801815: plowshare-modules and plowshare: error when trying to install together

2015-11-20 Thread Carl Suster
Control: block -1 by 805632 Thanks! I created an RFS at #805632. I've also put a new version of plowshare-modules on mentors which is simply a new upstream snapshot. That's a completely independent update though, and unrelated to this bug. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

2015-11-19 Thread Carl Suster
Hi, The bug is fixed in a new version on mentors.d.o (which also packages the newer upstream release) which I uploaded almost immediately after the report, but I haven't received a reply from either of the DDs who were helping me with uploads. Cheers, Carl On 20/11/15 00:33, Jakub Wilk wrote: >

2015-07-16 Thread Carl Suster
Yes, this is exactly what I'm doing if you take a look at the blocking bugs for this present bug. I've patched the package to remove javascript support and I'm waiting on a mentor to upload to unstable and then approval to upload to stable. I'll work out if there is a viable alternative fix in the

Bug#791467: plowshare: javascript usage puts user at risk of remote code execution

2015-07-12 Thread Carl Suster
Ok, this is my first package in debian so I'm still getting used to things. My thinking is that this package depends on external APIs (the hosting websites) and so it is a good candidate for backports. I hope to be able to add new upstream versions there in addition to unstable. I know that vers

Bug#791467: plowshare: javascript usage puts user at risk of remote code execution

2015-07-05 Thread Carl Suster
I am in the process of packaging the new upstream version of plowshare. There has been a significant change so that the core framework (of shell scripts) is kept entirely separate to the scripts which use this API to implement support for specific external sites. Once this new version is available
