Bug#712503: hmmmm

2019-12-23 Thread karlnorma 

From https://kb.isc.org/docs/isc-dhcp-44-manual-pages-dhcpd#PORTS

( with TCP and imcp port bits cut out:)




Normally a DHCPv4 server will open a raw UDP socket to receive and send most DHCPv4 packets. It also 
opens a fallback UDP socket for use in sending unicast packets. Normally these will both use the 
well known port number for BOOTPS.


...

For DHCPv6 the server opens a UDP socket on the well known dhcpv6-server port.

...

When DDNS is enabled at compile time (see includes/site.h) the server will open both a v4 and a v6 
UDP socket on random ports, unless DDNS updates are globally disabled by setting ddns-update-style 
to none in the configuration file.


,.,.

Not best practice to listen on ports when not used .. should be part of the config -- but an 
upstream issue.

Bug#917108: cura: Please consider packaging latest version 3.6

2019-10-28 Thread karlnorma 

Actually version 4.3 -- lots of improvements - is there a licensing issue with 
cura and cura-engine?

The alternative is running an AppImage package - always have to consider security risks AND When 
every app runs a different library, the bugs don't get squashed (like in commercial OSs).


It looks like archlinux has 4.3 - why not Debian?

Bug#865372: firefox-esr: 45.9.0esr-1~deb8u1 to 52.2.0esr-1~deb8u1 breaks profiles

2019-10-27 Thread karlnorma 
Confirmed - forcing people to create a mozilla account to migrate to a new version is not the Debian 
way.


This is actually a serious bug.
