The problem goes beyond that: different standard tar formats can
include mutable data like major and minor device numbers, and the
atimes, uids, and gids of files.  See, for example, tar(5). We would
have to continually monitor whether each site generates tarballs with
invariant checksums from the "same" files, or check the integrity of
archive members after extraction.

print/afm: update for testing

2011-09-11 Thread Pedro F. Giffuni
Hello;

OpenOffice come with a package of 35 Adobe
Font Metric files. I think these are useful
basically for Windows but not for UNIX: am
I correct?

I did an update to print/afm so that it uses
the OOo file, which is somewhat bigger.

I am hesitating if I should submit this as print/afm
is used by hylafax and some of the names have
changed. Perhaps someone with hylafax may test
the attached patch?

best regards,

Pedro. diff -ruN afm.orig/Makefile afm/Makefile

I think Chris is right, a reasonable first step is a Handbook section on
"How to recover a port from the CVS Attic." Beyond that if users want to
get together and implement Carsten's idea, or another similar service,
go for it!

But at this point there is no more utility in continuing to talk about
this topic. Everyone has said what they have to say, often numerous
times, and there has been way more heat than light shed on the topic for
some time now (as evidenced by Conrad's recent post where he realized
that the issue is not nearly as dire as he thought it was after taking a
look at what is actually happening).


Time to move on,

That is arguably a bug in "tar czf" :)  but it is easy enough to
work around; we just need a checksum method -- e.g. SHA256_UNGZ --
that pipes the distfile through gunzip when computing its checksum.

My paches fixes several problems repoted to this port:
- ports/144597: Kerberos knob work again
- ports/150493: Port updated to (almost) recent version
- ports/160389: Port build fine on FreeBSD 9.x
- ports/156926: Suffix isn't changed with knobs

Next problem can't be fixed:
- ports/155456: LPK patch wasn't updated upstream



Current snapshot can be downloaded from:

That's the slope, the degree to which ports or FreeBSD is going to go to 
assume ignorance on the part of the user and protect them from 
themselves.  Historical precedent is to inform the user about problems 
but otherwise assume they know what they're doing.  Certainly that's 
wrong at times, but the other way is the road to "That's dangerous and 
therefore not allowed."


Whether there's overt questioning or security through obscurity, there 
is no way for the software to take on the responsibilities of the 
operator.



Straw men are the tool of someone who has no more valid points to
make, remember that.


As is calling a point a straw man rather than addressing it.  Probably 
neither is quite right.


Let me suggest a reasonable[1] plan:

Modify portdowngrade[2] or create another tool[2] to retrieve removed 
ports.  Show the scary reason for removal before getting files from CVS. 
The user acknowledges that implicitly by retrieving files, or explicitly 
by answering an "Are you really, really, ultra-double sure?" question. 
The existence of this tool satisfies[3] users who want to install old 
ports.


Continue the removal of dead ports as it has been going.

If archival of old historical distfiles is needed, that's not really a 
FreeBSD problem.  Start a new project with its own website.  Quick, 
somebody register deadports.org![4]



[1] All reasonableness is subjective.
[2] Not it!
[3] Well, no, some people won't be satisfied, ever.  But this would
address the problem and might mollify or assuage or assistify.

Of course. I am not worried about the user, but from a maintainer's
point of view it is helpful to get informed about that. Unless you check
all your port's distfile hashes all the time it takes some time to
discover if you have a bad mirror (and all other mirrors being fine).

Someone who can't figure out how to install some software if it takes
more than 'portinstall ' almost certainly isn't knowledgeable
enough to evaluate the risks of installing buggy, exploitable, or
unmaintained software.


The ports system and FreeBSD in general are not capable of accurately 
assessing a user's abilities or situation.


Informing the user of problems with a port is certainly within the scope 
of the ports system, or a hypothetical "bring back a removed port" tool.


But the responsibility for the installation and use of any software is 
all on the informed user.  The difficulty or ease of bringing back a 
removed port does not change that.

Selfhosting can be very helpful. I once had many downloads of hiawatha
from my server in my logs. So, I checked the hashes and discovered that
the distfile from the original homepage was not the same anymore. The
author of hiawatha had changed the file without any announcements...

Because, in the cases here under discussion, there is somethin "wrong"
(for some value of 'wrong') with the software in question.  I can't
speak for Matthias or Chris, but I think the point here is that (at 
least some) people don't want to make foot-shooting easier.

Someone who can't figure out how to install some software if it takes
more than 'portinstall ' almost certainly isn't knowledgeable
enough to evaluate the risks of installing buggy, exploitable, or 
unmaintained software.

 Once again: gzip, for example, has "timestamp" field in header. Try
 this locally, without any [D]VCS:

% mkdir test && echo "one" > test/one.txt && echo "two" > test/two.txt
% tar czf test1.tar.gz test && sleep 5 && tar czf test2.tar.gz test
% md5 test1.tar.gz test2.tar.gz
MD5 (test1.tar.gz) = 7b7c763a9d1d4edca7b5b415ab297fec
MD5 (test2.tar.gz) = 703ac5387b2bd1146434516f1d761ed9
% gzip -d test1.tar.gz test2.tar.gz
% md5 test1.tar test2.tar
MD5 (test1.tar) = 0ba33aa8ff6bffeeeb2d96efc38eec85
MD5 (test2.tar) = 0ba33aa8ff6bffeeeb2d96efc38eec85
