It was encrypted for two keys, both of them can decrypt it.

Yes, this is way I send out all encrypted mails so that I can read them
in Sent mail:

How do you use the standards compliant mailer? Look to its
 documentation, I suppose.  Why do you expect me to be able to tell
 you how to use mailers out there?

It was a hint. Evidently, some MTA in between helpfully
 mangled your mail.  Now, I am not a expert in all the different MUAs
 out there, nor do I have any desire to  become one.

Good for you. Every one should figure out whichever mailer
 they want to use.

Ah, well. At least I tried.

If by real life you mean a life where people do not know how
 to send signed mail,  well, I suppose people need to learn how to
 send mail, really, in order to best survive in a distributed, mail
 based organization like debian.  And people should not expect to have
 their hands held while they learn how to send mail.

> What currently happens is another form of ignoring real live.  If it

Yes, I have no desire to face the real life where my supposed
 peers can't send mail; at least, I have no desire to teach them how
 to send mail.

In order to vote, you need to send in a signed ballot. If your
 real life does not require you to send  cryptographically signed
 materiel, where the integrity of the signatures matter, then I
 suppose you can get away with using broken mailers. But Debian voting
 has always relied on signed ballots sent via mail. It so happens that
 the ballots have incidentally not contained accented characters so
 far -- but that was mere happenstance.

Well, I have tried to see your point, but I have obviously
 failed.  As far as I can see, you seem to think I need to coach
 people about how to send mail -- either encrypted mail, or PGP/MIME
 mail, both of which are covered in excruciating detail in standards,
 and I even posted a list of mail clients that can deliver this.

I have no desire to hand hold people and teach them how ti
 send mail (or type, for that matter). You, apparently, seem to think
 I have some such obligation.  I beg to differ.

I am pretty sure if people ask on the mailing list, they'll
 find some people willing to teach them how to use mail.  This is not
 an chore I fancy, is all.

I used "dupload", so I suppose it should handle correctly. I have also

libdevice-serialport-perl broken

2007-03-29 Thread Kees Cook
Hello!  I'm trying to get some traction on this issue.  Nothing has 
moved on either debian-mentors nor debian-perl.  Is there anyone that 
can help me get libdevice-serialport-perl back on its feet, or point me 
in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Subject: Re: RFS: libdevice-serialport-perl

Hello!  This is a continuation of a thread started on d-mentors[1].  I'm 
still waiting to get this resolved, as it seems Mike Mattice is busy.  
Please, what is needed to get my[2] (or Zak's[3]) NMU uploaded?  This 
fixes a pretty major regression in the package (even acknowledged below 
by Mike).  It would close the following bugs:

#359449, #352295, #295912, #390387, #328172, #324877

I (as the upstream) have verified that the resulting package builds and 
operates correctly.  I'm happy to cut an upstream 1.003 release if it'll 
help clean any of this up, too.  I just want to see a proper[4] version 
in Debian.

Can someone please sponsor this upload?  I'd prefer that my version be 
used (instead of Zak's) due to additional bug fixes and because then I'm 
listed as an uploader.  :)

Thanks in advance!

You could always run dh_install with parameters from your rules file for
this case. It doesn't need to source everything from the .install files.


Now, do you want access to all environment variables, or a set of
predefined Debian variables like $(PACKAGE) and $(VERSION)?

Check that you uploaded the binaries in binary mode and not in text

He likely ran $gpg --encrypt foo, which by default encrypts with your own key
as well.

If you encrypt to yourself, how is the voting system supposed to decrypt
it?

You also encrypted to the key that was generated for this vote, which
looks good.  Did you encrypt it twice or something?

It is really this simple to do using mutt.

from the call for votes email into a file such as foo.txt and running

$gpg --import foo.txt

This will get the ephemeral voting key into your keyring.

2. To show that it's your vote you must sign the email. So, when you are
ready to forward the "call for votes" email that has your votes set to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address you hit "p" (to go into the gpg interface
in mutt) and then "b" for "both" i.e. sign and encrypt. Enter your passphrase
as asked and off you go.

Cheers,

Alex.

P.S.: I did have one vote rejection as I carelessly chose "e" for encrypt
instead of "b" for both in mutt the first time. Oh, well.

*Sigh*. Once you encrypt and ascii armor a ballot, there are
 no non-ascii characters in the body. Thus the MUA no longer has a
 need to mangle the body to protect it over potentially non-8-bit
 clean SMTP transport.

> Well, Manoj, the initial mail contains a paragraph called:

The paragraph goes on to state that the way to vote is to send
 a signed or encrypted ballot to an vote.debian.org email
 address. That is all, really, that is needed.

The relevent RFCs are RFC 2440, and RFC 3156, and perhaps one
 should also look at RFC 2822.

I don't think I need to inform people on how to send
 mail. Indeed, the paragraph does not include details on how to type
 either:
   In order to type the letter "a", look on the keyboard (ask someone
   if you do not know what a keyboard is) for a key which has the
   symbol "A" on it. Using a finger, press on that key. If nothing
   happens, press harder. If done correctly, you should see "a" on the
   display. you press too long, you  might see more than one of these
   letters. In that case, you have to locate the backspace key "

No. These instructions are for my peers.

My peers.

I'll not insult the intelligence of the voters in general by
 presuming to instruct them in how to type or how to send email.

The secretary has to provide details on how the vote is to be
 sent in.

Rubbish. The voters are responsible for casting their
 votes. People need to stand up and take responsibility for
 their own actions without being spoon fed.

I am not gonna go around fixing all kinds of broken MUA/MTA

I am also not going to spoon feed people and teach them typing
 or how to use a proper email client.

If you want instruction, I might offer teaching classes, but

Logging and blocking can all be done at the proxy, though. No need to

Debhelper and variable substitution in *.install files etc.

2007-03-29 Thread Paul Cager
When packaging Java libraries it is necessary to install the "jar" file
with an upstream version number e.g.

   /usr/share/java/thing-1.2.3.jar

and have a symbolic link:

   /usr/share/java/thing.jar -> /usr/share/java/thing-1.2.3.jar

I can use debhelper's "package-name.install" and "package-name.links"
config files to set this up, but then I have to remember to amend them
for each new upstream version.

The rules file already has "PACKAGE" and "VERSION" variables (parsed
from the changelog). It would be really nice if the config files could
use variable substitution, so the links file would look like:

/usr/share/java/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).jar /usr/share/java/$(PACKAGE).jar

Would anyone else find it useful to be able to use variable substitution
in the debhelper config files?

I know the Debian mantra: "A feature request with an attached patch is
more likely to be implemented".  But I don't know Perl so I'm a bit stuck!

Joey - what do you think?

Thanks,
Paul

NAT and client proxies greatly reduce the value of the IP address as a 
security measure.  I believe that it is still part of a solution though (EG 
if consecutive access attempts come from different continents then it makes 
sense to re-authenticate).

However they do not reduce the value of the IP address as a tracking 
mechanism.  I find it interesting to note the geographic distribution of 
requests and like to have the option to block requests from areas that cause 
more harm than good - I haven't yet had to do this with http but have often 
done so with ssh and smtp.

The current functionality in regard to Xen is seriously broken.  A reasonable 
person will expect that when a Xen virtual machine is configured with a 
single Ethernet interface then it can be restarted at any time and get the 
same name - eth0.  The current functionality for Xen breaks user expectations 
and does not provide any benefit that I can imagine.

For the rare case of a Xen instance with multiple Ethernet devices it would be 
easy to modify the config file in question - which is actually an easier task 
than determining how to correctly manage MAC addresses.

I believe that this fix is worthy of inclusion at this time.

An RFC would not be needed for such things.  Van Jacobson has demonstrated TCP 
in user-space for performance reasons.  dsniff is one of the packages in 
Debian that has user-space TCP code for sniffing data.

There's nothing radically new about this idea, it's just a matter of whether 
it's been implemented for HA proxies.

NATing connections avoids the issue of source addresses at the cost of being 
unable to modify data in-flight (apart from the minor modifications needed 
for NAT - eg the FTP module).

If you want to do serious modifications to the data (EG taking a HTTPS stream 
from the net and then forwarding HTTP to the back-end server) then writing a 
kernel module isn't a good option - I don't think that Linus would accept 
GNUTLS in kernel-space.

If you want to link to it, the grub documentation has a section called
"How to make your system robust".

lilo also has a -R option for the same purpose.

From memory (my shell history isn't long enough), here's what I did:


1. Copy ballot to text file (vote.txt).
2. Edit it for my voting preference.
3. Sign with gpg: gpg --clearsign vote.txt
4. Send: mail -s vote < vote.txt.asc [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I work in a UTF-8 environment, in case that matters.


Just for the record if someone tries to compile a HOW TO VOTE
enhancement: The procedure above did not work for me (for reasons
I do not understand).  But finally I was successful to "gpg --import"
the key contained in the "call for votes" mail and send the
vote encrypted.  This even worked with my "broken" mail client
pine.  But perhaps it was just working because it was my seventh
try to vote.

Good luck

Andreas.

Bug#416605: ITP: boxbackup -- Server and Clients for the BoxBackup remote backup system

2007-03-29 Thread Reinhard Tartler
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Reinhard Tartler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: boxbackup
  Version : 0.10
  Upstream Author : Ben Summers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/
* License : BSD with advertising clause
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : Server and Clients for the BoxBackup remote backup system

I'm currently using boxbackup for my private use. I've crafted packages
for my own used based on the ones from Jérôme Schell, I needed to apply
one patch from upstream though. I'd like to see boxbackup in debian, so
I'm filing this ITP. Help with this package is highly appreciated.

I'm CC'ing Jérôme Schell and Jesus Climent with this email, as they both
have expressed interest in the boxbackup packages. I'm CC'ing the
boxbackup devel mailing list as well, perhaps there are even more people
interested in seeing boxbackup in debian. If someone feels interested in
Comaintaining this package, please contact me.

The debian/control file currently looks like this:

Package: boxbackup-server
Architecture: any
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, perl (>= 5.6.0), gawk, ucf
(>= 0.08), openssl (>= 0.9.7)
Recommends: boxbackup-utils
Description: Server for BoxBackup remote backup system
 Boxbackup is an automatic on-line backup system.
 The server waits for connections from remote clients, 
 authenticates them via x509 certificates and stores the
 encrypted data on hard drives with optionnals RAID techniques.
 It also supports versions historization and per-user quotas.

Package: boxbackup-client
Architecture: any
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, ucf (>= 0.07), perl (>=
5.6.0), openssl (>= 0.9.7)
Description: Client for BoxBackup remote backup system
 Boxbackup is an automatic on-line backup system.
 The client is watching for changes on the local filesystem,
 connects to a Boxbackup server and send the changes via a
 secure channel. All data is encrypted before being sent to
 the server. A command line tool is provided for restoration
 of backups including deleted files and old versions.

Package: boxbackup-utils
Architecture: all
Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0), openssl (>= 0.9.6c)

I really don't get which key is not there. I signed with my same key,
which worked for unencrypted voting and which worked on previous GR
vote. I was really not able to decode what went wrong from message I
got, it seems to complain about missing secret key for my key, which
is okay. Does encrypt to self break voting?
