Bug#738850: ITP: iniparser -- a stand-alone INI file reading/writing library
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Klee Dienes
* Package name: iniparser
Version : 3.1-1
Upstream Author : Nicolas Devillard
* URL : http://ndevilla.free.fr/iniparser
* License : Expat
Programming Lang: C
Description : a stand-alone INI file reading/writing library
The iniParser library is a simple C library offering INI file parsing
services (both reading and writing).
---
Note that there have been two previous ITPs posted for iniParser:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582657
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678142
There was concern in the discussion for #678142 about:
1) Lack of a well-formed build/install system (iniParser includes only
a bare-bones Makefile).
2) Complexity ("Does anything depend on this, any potential users that
couldn't use something simpler?")
I have addressed #1 by providing a CMake build environment for use by
the Debian package.
Regarding #2, my goal is to package the psmoveapi code for Debian,
which uses the write support of iniparser (not supported by inih). I
also note that Samba seems to include an internal version of
iniParser.

JSBSim has no native graphics. It can be run by itself as a standalone program, taking input from a script file and various vehicle configuration files. It can also be incorporated into a larger flight simulator implementation that includes a visual system. The most notable examples of the use of JSBSim are currently seen in the open source FlightGear, Outerra, and OpenEaagles simulators.

Re: lesstif?
I believe the canonical source for the lesstif libraries is ftp://ftp.hungry/pub/hungry/lesstif. There's a debianized version of lesstif in Incoming/ on master. It's based on the 0.50 release, though I doubt it'd be all that hard to upgrade to the in-progress version. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Bug#4355: lesstif-dev has incoorect location for include files<
I'm a bit reluctant to move the header files to /usr/include, since the FSSTND implies that all X-related header files should go under /usr/X11R6/include. I'm not sure if /usr/X11R6/include is in the default search path or not, though I'd argue that putting files in there is confusing (the only ones there now are xforms and netaudio), since the symlink from /usr/include/X11 -> /usr/X11R6/include/X11 might confuse one into thinking that those were the only files there. Plus I just generally think Xm belongs under X11 like all the rest of the widget libraries. For now, I've left the header files where they were, and changed lesstif to include the following two symlinks: /usr/include/Xm -> /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xm /usr/X11R6/include/Xm -> /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xm I'm certainly open to further debate, though --- I'm just doing this now to get a fixed version out as quickly as possible. I'll leave the bug report open for the time-being.
Bug#4190: moderate security hole in telnetd
Package: netstd
Version: 2.06-1
A bug currently making the rounds on the bugtraq mailing list:
The resolver library appears to allow the environment variable
RESOLV_HOST_CONF to be used to specify a pathname for an alternate
host.conf. It also has the unfortunate behavior of printing the text
of any parse errors in the host.conf library to standard output (bad
karma for a system library, if you ask me). This allows outsiders to
get the contents of any file over the network:
$ telnet
telnet> env define RESOLV_HOST_CONF /etc/passwd
telnet> open localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

A quick workaround is to change envarok() in telnetd/state.c as
appended. My guess is that only telnetd needs to be changed for now,
as neither rlogin nor rsh (if I remember correctly) allow the client
to pass in environment variables. All the programs should probably be
checked, though.

Bug#2093: perl dumps core on libwww-perl-5b5
Package: perl
Version: 5.002-3
Perl dumps core when run on the VERSION file included with
libwww-perl-5b5 (Avaiable via the CPAN archive). A copy of the
VERSION file is included.
#!/bin/perl
=head1 VERSION
This is a self-modifying file. Whenever a version number in one of the
members increases, this program increases its own version number by
0.01. Can also increment alfa/beta version numbers. Members are
enumerated below the __END__ token.
This implies that we get a new timestamp. If we make Makefile
dependent on this program, we get a new Makefile everytime one of the
versions changes. It is really not the cheapest solution, but maybe
the most trivial one.
Add a new module by writing its name on a line after the __END__ token.
Change the overall version number arbitrarily by changing it within
this file.
