Just for the record, Ubuntu chose this way and patched their 2.6.24 kernel
in 8.04 LTS with forward-port of 2.6.18 xensource xen patches.

Packages built with unchecked dependencies

[Enrico Zini]

Hello,

some time ago, I noticed that using the default pbuilder setup I was
not checking signatures on build-dep packages when building my debian
uploads [1] [2] [3].  I thought this was bad, and since then I pay
attention to it.

Now that I have LVM in my laptop and use schroot, I take care of
building the chroots using "debootstrap --keyring=..." [4], which means
that when I download build-deps inside the chroots, the build-deps get
checked.

Then I tried sbuild to build using my schroot setup, and found that by
default it disables signature checking.  So I stopped using sbuild until
I find a way to reenable it.

Then I had a look at some random buildd log[5]:

  WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
x11-common libice6 libsm6 libxau6 libxdmcp6 libxcb1 libxcb-xlib0 libx11-data
libx11-6 libxt6 apt-utils bsdmainutils groff-base libnewt0.52 libpopt0
man-db whiptail libmagic1 file gettext-base libidn11 html2text gettext
intltool-debian po-debconf debhelper cdbs cmake defoma dh-buildinfo
  [...]
  Authentication warning overridden.
  [...]

and found that not even our buildds check signatures, and since I
understand that they don't always reside on the same network as the main
ftp archive, nor they connect to it using some sort of VPN (correct me
if I'm wrong), I worry that this means that they also buld packages
using untrusted build-deps.

Am I the only one that feels very, very uncomfortable about this?

Enrico

This can be fixed by removing this stupid warning in libglib-perl. We
have dependency systems to handle, you know, dependencies, and some
developer just thought he could be more clever than these dependency
systems.

The EeePCs are sold throughout large resellers (Saturn, Staples, ...) in 
Germany and at least until the new ones get out they all ship with
Debian - perfectly visible to every potential customer passing by. I have not 
seen Debian or Linux on any product before in these shops. So, I
really think that for the perception of Debian (and Linux at large) it would be 
good if there was some initiative that gives Debian on these
machines some backup.

To have a connected user base itself would already be a plus. Some flyer to 
print out would be good that points to this community site so we can
put such next to these machines in the shop. And Asus would probably help to 
get this across to their customers, too. People would then learn
how to submit bug reports and get some indication of what software to install.  
 Even the software that is distributed with the EeePC and that
is on display in the store is not fully usable, for instance try to change the 
your coordinates in Celestia, the dialog of which is beyond the
screen size. Would an alioth project and pages on wiki.d.o be sufficient?

Best,

Steffen

Are you in "disk" group? Can you mount the disks with pmount (as non-root)?

You are aware of http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC I hope?  (Aha, I
see it has already been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, good.)

We take a very practical, bottom-up approach.  Get Debian working well
on one platform, the Eee PC.  Then make things as general as possible
and support it as quickly as possible in Debian itself.  I think if you
start top down: "let's tackle the problem of making Debian well
supported on this whole class of systems", a laudable goal, mind you,
then you will very quickly bog down in the execution unless you have
resources that go beyond what we currently have in the debian-eeepc
project.

So what do you think you could do particularly with regards to the Eee
to see it on these systems in shops?  We've talked a bit to Asus and
they've even assigned some people to talk to Debian about development
for the Eee.  But I'm afraid so far our focus has been very much on
just getting Lenny out the door with solid support for the Eee and not
so much on these bigger-picture issues.

Ben

sysinf0 - website indexation

[Franklin PIAT]

Hello,

I am working on a website[1], which purpose is let the visitor browse
a _virtual_ filesystem, made of all the files shipped in Debian
packages. Then view or compare the files.

The problem is that google will never finish indexing the 10 million
pages (not on my home DSL, at least)...

My first plan is to track unstable, then provide a kind of news feed for
search engines. [my DebCamp8 plan]

The second improvent, is to actualy prevent google from indexing useless
pages. The question is what pages are usefull, and which are useless ?
My current (quick) list is :
 ^/etc/.*$
 ^/var/lib/dpkg/.*$
 ^/usr/share/doc/[^/]*/[^/]*$

Any suggestion ?

Franklin

if only it mentioned what this "apt-get-update" program/script is)

Have you tried typing "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options" on Google?
It seems that some people had a problem similar, and solved it.

Anyway, this is definitely not the right place to ask your question.
Probably a mailing-list from there:

  http://lists.debian.org/users.html

would be more suitable. I forward this bugreport to konqueror.

I'm the researcher that Steinar exchanged emails with. I just wanted to
clarify this a bit as I believe he misunderstood something I said the
other week. -- Sorry for any confusion, Steinar.

These types of attacks, replay attacks[1] and endless data attacks[2],
were well-known in general, but not with respect to APT or other package
managers being vulnerable to them. We by no means are claiming to have
discovered replay attacks, nor are we aware of previous widespread
disclosure that package managers are vulnerable to these attacks.

A big thank you to the various Debian security people who have helped
answer questions and verify information for us recently. I believe most
of the issues we disclosed are in discussion and will be addressed.

odfsvn is a toolset that allows you to store ODF documents in a
subversion repository. You may be wondering why you would want to
store your documents in subversion. There are a few reasons:

* it allows you to use all features of a version control system: all
  changes are archived along with change notes, making it possible
  to roll back to previous versions, see who made what changes and
  why, etc.

* it makes it possible to have multiple people sharing their
  changes to a document through a shared repository. That means
  that you can always see all changes from all editors, update
  your version to the latest revision and submit your changes.
  No matter where you are, with or without access to your email,
  you will always be able to share your work.
