Debian is very much OpenSSL. However, I see some packages default to

Historically, use of GnuTLS was mostly because of licensing restrictions
because OpenSSL was incompatible with GPL-licensed code.  Now, OpenSSL is
compatible with GPL v3 and Debian has (with some controversy) adopted a
policy of treating it like a system library even for GPL v2 code, so at
least some of the GnuTLS usage has switched to OpenSSL.


Question(s): Is there a recommendation/guideline/policy that package
maintainers should prefer a specific crypto library (OpenSSL?) if they
cannot support all of them? If not, is there an argumentation aid to
convince package maintainers.


I don't believe there is a policy.

In practice, I believe OpenSSL tends to be more interoperable and
better-tested upstream than GnuTLS.  There have been long-standing
problems with GnuTLS not handling weird corner cases or bugs in other
libraries.  Some of these do get fixed over time, but that's still my
general impression.

Also, if a software package was written to use OpenSSL, the OpenSSL
compatibility layer in GnuTLS is very limited (I say this as someone who
tried to use it for a package for several years) and tends to cause a lot
of problems.

NSS probably doesn't have the same interoperability problems.  I
personally have no opinions about using it.  (Didn't Red Hat attempt to
standardize on NSS a while back?  I feel like that didn't work and they
stopped that effort, but some quick searching didn't uncover any support
for that belief.)


They stopped and moved pretty much everything on OpenSSL.

Yes, that's what I did before, kept the full build in experimental and
only client in sid etc. But that's a pain to keep in sync and get tested
etc.. What I'd backport is not the exact version of what's in sid,
instead the server build would be disabled.

If that's not possible then maybe I'll postpone the backport until the
server works again... however long that'll take.

crypto policy for Debian?

2020-12-11 Thread Timo Aaltonen



Hi!

I noticed that crypto-policies is packaged, but not really used 
anywhere. Would it be worthwhile to make it the official way to 
configure the system-wide crypto policy as it was implemented in Fedora 
[1]? This has been briefly mentioned before at least in bug 765512 [2], 
but nothing came out of it. I think it would benefit Debian if support 
for crypto-policies was added to packages, and make it a release goal 
for Bookworm. Or is it just a matter of JFDI and filing bugs & MR's 
against the affected packages?

server for clients, dynamically generating and updating NIS maps
according to its configuration and the contents of the DIT, and
serving the results to clients using the NIS protocol as if it were
an ordinary NIS server.

The Schema Compatibility plugin allows the directory server to provide
an alternate view of entries stored in part of the DIT, optionally
adding, dropping, or renaming attribute values, and optionally
retrieving values for attributes from multiple entries in the tree.

anyone interested in cobbler?

2014-02-14 Thread Timo Aaltonen

Hi

  I've put cobbler packaging to collab-maint/cobbler.git, which is based
on the original ubuntu package but has been cleaned up for the most
part. Some ubuntuisms still remain, and some patches need to be sent
upstream for merging.

But it doesn't have an ITP yet, since I'm not sure if it'll be useful
for my environment in the long run. So if someone wants to pick it up
please let me know. I'm willing to at least co-maintain it for the time
being, but it needs a sponsor once the packaging is considered ready.

getting rid of libmusicbrainz-2.1 & libtunepimp

2012-01-19 Thread Timo Aaltonen


Hi!

  I sort of became the (temporary?) maintainer of libmusicbrainz, so 
it's probably reasonable to look at the status of the oldest musicbrainz 
library version in the archive, libmusicbrainz-2.1 (maintained by QA), 
and packages depending on it.


The bottom line is that the package should be removed from the archive, 
since it only supports the old RDF interface which got deprecated in 
2006 and shut down in August 2009 [1]. Martin Michlmayr sent an email 
about this a while back [2], but there are still some reverse 
dependencies left:


* abcde
  - doesn't actually need python-musicbrainz, cddb is the default
  - the dependency on python-musicbrainz should be dropped

* ears
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628475
which renders the package useless -> remove?

* cynthiune.app
  - needs a patch to either remove the mb functionality, or ported to
  libmusicbrainz3/4

* libmusicbrainz-ruby1.8
  - can be removed from the archive, nothing uses it

* gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
  - dropping the build-dep would mean losing libgsttrm.so (tested),
  which apparently doesn't work anyway

* gmerlin
  - dropping the build-dep should be enough, or port the app to
  libmusicbrainz3/4

libmusicbrainz4-dev has one rdep, libtunepimp-dev, which also only 
supports the old stuff and is deprecated long ago [3]. Rdeps on 
libtunepimp are:


* listen
  - has libtunepimp5 as Suggests, should be dropped

* kdemultimedia (juk)
  - just needs to not build-depend libtunepimp-dev (tested)

* kid3
  - should be built with -DWITH_TUNEPIMP=OFF (tested)


So what would be the next step, filing bugs against the packages 
requesting the changes suggested above?



ps. I have libmusicbrainz-4.0.0 packaged, just need to push it to alioth 
under collab-maint and ask for a sponsor.. :)

Given that it is very rare for machines these days to have banks of

relevant for even a significant minory of our users? How would those
multiple users interact with the machine?

Or does it mean "single non-root user"?


Well, I've given some thought on what LSB means by "multiuser with no 
network services exported", and I believe it means that network is up, but 
no network services are yet started. This is how Redhat works (tried to 
check SuSE but the documentation was one 69MB download...). I admit that a 
machine without network is of little use, but one that you can be certain 
does not have any open ports is in some scenarios useful..

The last sentence is not true. For some of the compelling reasons as to
why this should change please review the last time we discussed this [0]
(when I brought the issue up in my TODO stuff for etch [1]).


Hmm, just proves that I can't do a proper search ;) Somehow I've missed 
those threads, but have read them now.


To break my proposal into two separate pieces, we have:

1) moving unnecessary stuff out of rcS.d

Seems to have gotten support from developers. Some disagreement whether 
NFS-mounts should or should not be done here. I'd say that without network 
you get no mounts, either ;) Those special installations that have /usr as 
a NFS-mount shouldn't need anything from there. Besides, automount is 
banned here so it's not an option.


Should there be a separate discussion as to what to move away?

2) define more out-of-the-box runlevels

This has been discussed before as pointed out. Some say that current 
situation is a feature, and others would like to see Debian take a similar 
scheme as other distributions. I think it is a moot point to say that 
having more multi-user runlevels confuses users, because ordinary users 
should never run into a situation where those are really needed. For 
sysadmins the change is a needed one. DIY-philosophy should actually be 
left to those who really want to customize their runlevels 2-5 =) Then 
those who like the proposal and those who have to bear with mixed 
environments can have their's left as default.


Here's my short summary of some situations where those different runlevels 
are needed:


1   single-user, no network, only rootfs (or all local fs's?) mounted

-pretty obvious

2   multi-user, no network services exported, no NFS

-more secure service-wise than 3
-RH has network here, although they claim that 2 is not used

3   full multi-user

-direct boot without X is useful if X breaks the console for some reason, 
more comfortable to work with than 1


4   as 3 but reserved for local use

5   full multi-user + X

-goes hand in hand with 3


I don't understand why the next-gen init would have problems with a setup 
like this.. If it uses dependencies, supporting a scheme like this 
shouldn't be a problem, no?




As with anything in Debian, it really depends on how much muscle is put
into it.


Hopefully so..

runlevels remodeled

2005-08-12 Thread Timo Aaltonen


Hi!

  Is there will to change the current policy regarding runlevels in 
Debian? I'd propose to use the recommendation made by LSB:


http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/runlevels.html

The reason for this is that practically Debian has only two different 
runlevels:


-the-so-called single-user mode (1)
-multiuser (2|3|4|5)

"Single-user" mode is a fiasco, because in /etc/rcS.d/* there are a number 
of services that really should not belong there. Examples:


-network
-all disks (including NFS) mounted

..and those that depend on them. So, to correct that the runlevels would 
look roughly like this:


(S  -as now, services that are needed by all runlevels (except 0,6 of
 course), most stuff after S30 moved to 2-5)
1   -single-user, only the rootfs mounted
2   -multi-user, all local disks mounted, no network
3   -multi-user + network
4   -multi-user + network
5   -multi-user + network + X


Now the fun part is to decide which not-so-obvious service goes where, and 
in which order.. I admit that the current system is easy in this regard, 
but it still sucks...



Comments?


P.S. I know about the initng-project, but as Mr. Holschuh in one post 
mentioned (can't find it now, alioth is down), this can be done separately


P.P.S No, I'm not a DD, just a sysadmin that would like to make a 
contribution. No need to CC me though, I'm subscribed to this list.
