package maintainer question
Hello everbody, I'm facing the problem that a package I maintain depends on a library whose maintainer is either to busy or not interested providing a deb for the new upstream version which would (hopefully) fix a serious bug in the library. The package in question is sendmail, the debian maintainer is Richard A Nelson, who seems to ignore both mails and bug reports concerning this issue (the bug also bites other packages using this library). As we are currently in a freeze I'm extremly worried that this behaviour might render a bunch of software in squeeze unreliable. What (if any) options are there to get rid of this problem (besides removing sendmail and with it some other software from squeeze)?

package transition question
Hi all, I'm facing a problem and thought maybe someone here has a solution or could point me into the right direction: The package openswan currently has version 2.4.12 in Lenny whereas in Squeeze version 2.6.28 will appear. As the version number suggest this means some deep changes, also concerning the configuration parameters in the according config files. With the new version comes an external configuration parsing program which checks for config errors and warns accordingly. Normally this shouldn't be such a great issue as major version changes may break configs but as this package's purpose is secure VPN access we want to take care that the program is not restarted without proper configuration. We first thought about aborting the installation in postinst when the config would not run but this would leave the package in a weird state as the new binaries would have already been unpacked. Aborting in preinst is also unfeasable because we do not have the program installed yet so we can't check if the config is ok or not. Our current idea is to do the installation, run the program in postinst to check for config errors and if we find some we issue a warning message and cease to restart the daemon - or does anybody have a better idea?

Will talk with upstream maitainers about implementing this as it would make
sense not only for Debian...

Hmmm but when the init script refuses to stop correctly then chances will be
higher that the admin will solve this issue before a real problem arises (at
least I guess/hope so).

Possible but I'm unsure wether this would make it into Squeeze at this point...
But thanks for your suggestions, you helped us very very much (sometimes when
looking at a problem the own view gets very very narrowed indeed...)!

Ok this may pose a problem but as the main changes are to the changelog itself (which gets checked by lintian) I hope the advantages of the changes will convince them.

NMU sendmail upload for t-p-u
Dear release team, dear sponsors
I have made a patch which would solve bug for Debian Squeeze as the Sid version
did not made it into testing in time. As I'm not familiar with doing such a
thing I am asking for some help in order to make a NMU to Debian t-p-u. Please
find attached a debdiff sendmail_8.14.3-9.4.dsc sendmail_8.14.3-9.5.dsc which
shows the changes done by me based on the patches in the according bug report
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=527862 and the new upstream
version 8.14.4. If this change is acceptable to the release team I would ask
for some help with getting it into t-p-u.
Thanks for everybodies help!
Kind regards
Harald Jenny

upstream source with debian directory
Dear list members, I'm currently uploader for openswan were upstream ships it's own version of a debian directory as they provide debs themselves (no chance to change this). As the upstream source did contain non-free docs we had to repackage it anyway so removing the debian directory too was not an extra step. But now upstream has cleaned up their documentation and also removed the non-free parts so there is no need anymore to do any repacking. The problem is that when importing the upstream tar.gz with git-import-orig into the git repository the merge failes as both the upstream and the master branch now contain a debian directory. How can this problem be solved the best way? Continue the repackaging to remove the debian directory? Apply a filter to git-import-orig? Just resolve the conflicts and then continue the merge (and how)? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just as a sidenote: When another directory named debian is inside the package you may rather want to use an expression like: filter = $PACKAGENAME_DIR/debian/* like git-import-orig --filter='openswan-2.6.33/debian/*' ../tarballs/openswan_2.6.33.orig.tar.gz > > Jérémy.

Well I currently work on openswan where upstream also provides a debian directory as part of their tar because they have an Ubuntu ppa where they provide testing versions. As I have also access to upstream git I try to stay in sync with most of their changes and also try to incorporate my changes into upstream but for ease of use I drop their debian directory when importing upstream into Debian VCS. > > > Of course I checked Debian's Policy Manual, but AFAICS this subject > has been successfully ignored by now.

While the first option may be more elegant the second one may resemble more the
usage pattern of a Debian user trying to build a new Debian package version
(download the new source and then use the diff or tar containing the debian
directory on top of it).

(newbie?) debian packaging questions
Hi list members,
I'm currently facing some little issues with building my amavisd-milter
package after the migration from mercurial to git (thanks again Alexander Wirt
for doing the actual repository conversion!). The issues at hand did not show
up when using mercurial-buildpackage but now under git-buildpackage (as well as
dpkg-buildpackage directly) I can observe them.
1.
configure: WARNING: Unrecognized options: --disable-maintainer-mode
Is there a possibility to turn off the usage of --disable-maintainer-mode?
2.
cd . && /bin/bash

The warning here is partially correct as I have patched configure.ac with an
fix from upstream cvs but I also made a patch which directly modifies configure
so there is no need to do a rebuild... is there a possibility to avoid this
warning messages?
3.
The package uses hardening-includes by including it in the rules file (like
metioned in /usr/share/hardening-includes/hardening.make):
include /usr/share/hardening-includes/hardening.make
CFLAGS += $(HARDENING_CFLAGS)
LDFLAGS += $(HARDENING_LDFLAGS)
Then it uses them within configure:
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/amavis \
--with-working-dir=/var/lib/amavis/tmp \
CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" LDFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS)"
But the result is the following:
dh_auto_configure -- --prefix=/usr --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/amavis \
--with-working-dir=/var/lib/amavis/tmp \
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector --param ssp-buffer-size=4
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -fPIE
-fstack-protector --param ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat
-Wformat-security -Werror=format-security " LDFLAGS=" -fPIE -pie -Wl,-z,relro
-Wl,-z,now -fPIE -pie -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now "
The workaround I discovered for this issue is to specify the additional flags
in configure itself:
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/amavis \
--with-working-dir=/var/lib/amavis/tmp \
CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS) $(HARDENING_CFLAGS)" \
LDFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS) $(HARDENING_LDFLAGS)"
Which looks more correct IMHO:
dh_auto_configure -- --prefix=/usr --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/amavis \
--with-working-dir=/var/lib/amavis/tmp \
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector --param ssp-buffer-size=4
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security " \
LDFLAGS=" -fPIE -pie -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now "
But maybe someone has a hint why this happens in the first place and how to
avoid it.
