Re: Including object (.o) files in a package - linda errors
I was hoping that someone else would respond to this, since I'm just
fumbling for an answer. Maybe I can provoke one:)

Maybe. Another solution is to link it with -lc. To be sure, the
*proper* solution is to link it with everything it needs, and nothing
more.
I'm not entirely sure how to do that; but the following options to ld
may be relevant.
--no-undefined
--no-allow-shlib-undefined
--unresolved-symbols=report-all
But, rethinking this, what kind of file is that (as given by
/usr/bin/file)? AFAIK object files (traditionally *.o) cannot be
linked with anything; indeed, gcc -lfoo -c -o bar.o baz.c yields:
gcc: -lc: linker input file unused because linking not done
lin{da,tian} shouldn't complain about an object file which is not
linked with anything, since, well, it cannot be. But, if it is a
shared object, which is called .o (instead of the conventional .so),
then the complaint might be warrented.
If it is a shared object, and it actually doesn't use any external
symbols (including those from libc), then I suppose an override is
appropriate. (Let me guess; some awkward physics software whose
authors decided to rewrite everything from the ground up using only
loops and arithmetic? sigh.)
A line of code is worth more:
test.c: main(){}
wxyz.c: f(){ g(); }
$ gcc -shared -o libwxyz.so wxyz.c
$ gcc -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--no-allow-shlib-undefined
-Wl,--unresolved-symbols=report-all -L. -lwxyz test.c
./libwxyz.so: undefined reference to `g'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ gcc -L. -lwxyz test.c
./libwxyz.so: undefined reference to `g'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ gcc -Wl,--unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-shared-libs -L. -lwxyz test.c
$
So, it looks like your job is done when all the libraries can be
successfully linked into minimal programs (wxyz.c) without ignoring
unresolved syms. I would recommend passing the above options to ld to
be sure (especially --no-allow-shlib-undefined, which is apparently
not the default).

installing files in cgi-bin/ etc/ and tt2/
G'day, I am attempting to package some in-house perl web apps in debian package format for internal distribution only. I've exhausted the knowledge, it would seem, of the debian-perl list, so here I am asking for your help instead. My problem: in addition to files in lib/, I also want to install a conffile in etc/, CGI::Application instance scripts in cgi-bin/, and Template Toolkit templates in tt2/. How do I tell my rules script about them, so they don't just ignore them? Probably not too important, but I'm using Module::Build instead of MakeMaker, otherwise creating my debian/ directory by hand. Any help would be much appreciated.

For some reason the author seems to confuse the use of strncpy, the following code for example is doing exactly the wrong thing: strncpy(command,argv[1],strlen(argv[1])+1); This leads to buffer overflows in the command line handling of each of the binaries: /usr/sbin/dibbler-relay `perl -e 'print "X"x3434'` | Dibbler - a portable DHCPv6, version 0.4.0(RELAY) ... ...

RFS: dibbler - a portable DHCPv6 implementation
Hi everyone I have prepared Debian packages for Dibbler - an open and portable DHCPv6 implementation. Is supports stateful (i.e. IPv6 address granting) as well as stateless (i.e. option granting) autoconfiguration for IPv6. It is one of two Linux DHCPv6 implementations available, but it has numerous advantages over "competition": - provides client, server and relay - implements base standard as well as numerous extentions - provides detailed man pages and 20+ page User's Guide - mailing list with rather quick support - bug tracking system I'm looking for a sponsor for the following packages: 1. Names of the packages: dibbler-server dibbler-client dibbler-relay dibbler-doc 2. The licence: GNU GPL v2 or later 3. Package descriptions: dibbler-server: This is a DHCPv6 server. It supports both stateful (i.e. IPv6 address granting) as well as stateless (i.e. options granting) autoconfiguration modes of DHCPv6 protocol. Relays are also supported. Install Dibbler server if you'd like to have IPv6 hosts automatically configured in your network. dibbler-client: This is a DHCPv6 client. It supports both statefull (i.e. IPv6 address granting) as well as stateless (i.e. option granting) autoconfiguration modes of the DHCPv6 protocol. Besides basic capabilities, it supports various DHCPv6 extensions, e.g. option renewal. Install Dibber client if you want to obtain IPv6 addresses and options from DHCPv6 server. dibbler-relay: This is a DHCPv6 relay. Relays are used as proxies between server and clients. Main advantage is the ability to support multiple remote links using only one server. Install Dibbler relay if you want to serve multiple not physically connected links with one DHCPv6 server. dibbler-doc: User's Guide as well as Developer's Guide is included in this package. That documentation covers all aspects of Dibbler DHCPv6 implementation: - server, client and relay usage and configuration - various tips and frequently asked questions - internal structure/code description and hints for developers 4. Prepared packages can be downloaded from: http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/debian/ Details about Dibber are available at the project website: http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/. Packages were validated with lintian and everything seems to be fine. I have tested packages (installing, reinstalling, uninstalling) as well as the binaries itself (dibbler is being used by numerous users throughout the world, so I only had to check if produced binaries are ok). Finally, here's quick justification, why I belive those packages should be part of the Debian: After almost 2 years of development, Dibbler is stable enough to be merged into Debian. Sooner or later, IPv6 will come. Debian should be ready for that. -- Tomasz Mrugalski, | "I think there is a world market for | spam(at)klub(dot)com(dot)pl | about five computers." | | Thomas J.

Both ways are correct. I usually move needed files using dh_install. You can however patch upstream's makefile.
