This test was new in this upstream version and I've already mentioned to the author that it may cause problems in Debian buildds. I'm sorry that you fell over it upon first attempt. If you have time to re-try, I have disabled the test suite for the time being in the configure step, and re-uploaded the package to the same .dsc Thankyou Nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#684679: RFS: nullmailer/1:1.11-2 (security bugfix upload request)
Thanks also Bart for reminding me of the other approach. (sorry I am a bit distracted by home things at the moment). After some thought I think it makes sense to change to the umask approach anyway, as it is more efficient (fewer fork/execs), and also covers the case where the symlink exists but the target does not yet, which the tempfile approach missed. Uploaded again, I hope that this is my last change of mind now :-) Thanks Nick diff -Nru nullmailer-1.11/debian/changelog nullmailer-1.11/debian/changelog --- nullmailer-1.11/debian/changelog2012-06-16 16:36:28.0 +0100 +++ nullmailer-1.11/debian/changelog2012-08-21 09:01:40.0 +0100 @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +nullmailer (1:1.11-2) unstable; urgency=low + + * Make 'remotes' not world-readable (Closes: #684619) + + -- Nick Leverton n...@leverton.org Tue, 21 Aug 2012 09:01:38 +0100 + nullmailer (1:1.11-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release diff -Nru nullmailer-1.11/debian/postinst nullmailer-1.11/debian/postinst --- nullmailer-1.11/debian/postinst 2012-05-16 08:25:36.0 +0100 +++ nullmailer-1.11/debian/postinst 2012-08-21 09:07:21.0 +0100 @@ -24,6 +24,15 @@ fi db_get nullmailer/relayhost + # securely create nullmailer/remotes with mode 0600 + if [ ! -e /etc/nullmailer/remotes ] + then + M=$( umask ) + umask 077 +/etc/nullmailer/remotes + chown mail:mail /etc/nullmailer/remotes + umask $M + fi echo $RET | sed -r -e ':a s/(\[[^]:]*):/\1=/; ta' \ -e 's/[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*/\n/g' \ -e ':b s/(\[[^]=]*)=/\1:/; tb' \

On Sun, Aug 19, 2012 at 10:16:50AM -0700, Don Armstrong wrote: If bartm is unable to upload this, I will do it. However, you need to first check that /etc/nullmailer/remotes is a regular file, as it would be a perfectly reasonable configuration to have replaced /etc/nullmailer/remotes with a symlink. Secondly, you really should only do the replacement if /etc/nullmailer/remotes is world readable; otherwise you should assume that the administrator has modified things (for example, running nullmailer as an entirely different user). Hi Don, You raise some valuable issues, thanks. I think that merely not replacing, chmodding or chowning the file if it already exists is a simple and safe solution which allows the sysadmin to change what she wants post-installation. This does mean that existing installations will not be protected, but I don't think that that's important enough to be worth a NEWS entry to warn the admin. Thankyou very much for your review. I've amended the package accordingly and re-uploaded to mentors, and I hope it passes muster for upload. The updated debdiff is attached (same version number, new changelog timestamp).

Help updating debian/templates
Hi, I want to add some additional examples to the debconf templates in my package nullmailer. The examples would only change config file entries (for the nullmailer/relayhost entry), and shouldn't need translating - they would be the same in all languages. I note that if I run debconf-updatepo, my updated template gets amended into all extant .po files, and they all get marked as fuzzy. Is this all I need to do, or do I have to notify anyone or do anything about the fuzziness ?

Re: Lintian thinks a Non-Debian Native package is Debian Native

My package is whining that it's debian native, when Fluxbox is maintained outside of Debian. This cropped up after there were dfsg changes, but this is not why ( Lintian whines that we have a dfsg on a native package, as it should ) In my own experience, the commonest way of accidentally building a Debian native package (a source format, nothing to do with where it's maintained) is to have a wrongly named upstream tarball, which dpkg-source will not associate with your package. For a package of fluxbox 1.1.1+dfsg1-1 your Debian revision is -1, and the tarball should thus be fluxbox_1.1.1+dfsg1.orig.tar.gz. Everything before the dash is counted as the upstream version number, even when it's a result of DFSG re-packaging.

Thanks, I now have that, lintian gives me an empty-debian-diff error. Because, well, I wrote this app and am packaging it, there is nothing to diff with. What is the argument to not make a native package, by the way? Debian native package format is intended for things which are only of any use for Debian itself, like dpkg and apt. As you've seen, dpkg-source uses indications like absence of an upstream tarball and absence of a dash in the version number to guess what it is supposed to be producing. For packages which might be useful on any distro or even outside of Linux, it's preferred to keep the debian/ directory (containing your packaging) out of the normal tarball, and to incorporate it in the .diff.gz. This helps because, when Policy changes or when some need for change in the packaging comes to light, you don't need to make a whole new upstream release, and the other non-Debian distros don't need to know about the Debian change. I guess you have all your packaging already in the tarball, which is why you have an empty diff.gz file. If you can separate it out, there will be less Debian cruft for other distros, and the Debian packaging will be separated from the package's own functional changes.

I don't think there's any need to remove and re-package the sources, as these libs are DFGS free enough to be in Debian in their own right. I would say it's adequate for the Debian packaging just to tell configure to use the external libraries and add the appropriate build-deps. Helping upstream to drop the embedded copies could be a separate public service change, if you felt keen enough, but they have already given packagers the choice of which to use through ./configure.

It appears interesting though so I had a look at it and I have a few comments for you. The package fails to build under pbuilder from two causes: First, you call dh_quilt_unpatch from your clean target, however this command is provided by quilt which is not part of build-essential. Pbuilder only auto-installs the dependencies after cleaning the package - but it will not do this as the clean fails. You might fix this by doing dh_quilt_unpatch || true in your clean. Second, you need a build-dep for libtool which is required by the build. In your control file, libiulib-dev Depends: on libiulib, however your packaging builds the library in libiulib0 so the -dev package will not install. I find it worth actually installing my final packages and using them to catch errors of this sort before upload. I haven't used debhelper 7 myself yet so can't comment on the rules file. Recent comments here suggest that a is un-needed at the start of the short description :) Is it worth mentioning in the short description that the library is for C++ ? Many other libraries specify the language in the short description so that it is obvious when browsing e.g. aptitude lists. The mention of STL in the long description is a hint, to be sure, and Debtags will one day give a definite idea, so other people's thoughts are welcome. Copyright looks good on a quick check. As well, there is a pedantic Lintian warning: P: iulib source: source-contains-svn-control-dir . Seems like each of your dirs has the .svn directory still. It's only a pedantic warning and not something I would think worth re-creating the tarball for, but might be worth asking upstream to clean their release. Nice work in general, thankyou, and if you could fix the above then I wish you luck with finding a sponsor.

RFupload: libupnp (updated package)
Dear mentors, My regular sponsor is on holiday. I am wondering if someone would care to review and upload the new version 1.6.6-1 of my package libupnp. The Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp) provides developers with an API and open source code for building control points, devices, and bridges that are compliant with Version 1.0 of the Universal Plug and Play Device Architecture Specification - see http://www.upnp.org/ for specifications. It builds these binary packages: libupnp-dev - Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (development files) libupnp3 - Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (shared libraries) libupnp3-dbg - debugging symbols for libupnp3 There are two Lintian comments: libupnp source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.3 is because I haven't reviewed it for standards 3.8.0. The package was prepared some time ago and was in testing since. debian-changelog-line-too-long line 7 - me culpa, it is one charactrer too long :-) The upload would fix these bugs: Important: 482737 libupnp daemons crash after short while running The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libupnp - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libupnp/libupnp_1.6.6-1.dsc I would be glad if someone could avoid a last minute pressure and check/upload this package for me. I'll save the two lintian fixes for next upload in case someone has any other comments. Thank you Nick Leverton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Developer names within debian/changelog
AFAICT, this leads to put whatever you want within a changelog entry, so long as it doesn't cause significant annoyance, because no program can expect to read it. Don't forget the existence of package libparse-debianchangelog-perl (and of dpkg-parsechangelog) which do seem to read and interpret changelogs. I've not used them myself though so can't advise further on them.

RFS/ITP: linux-igd -- UPnP Internet Gateway Device
linux-igd is a daemon that emulates Microsoft's Internet Connection Service (ICS). It implements the UPnP Internet Gateway Device specification (IGD) and allows UPnP aware clients, such as MSN Messenger to work properly from behind a NAT firewall. Licenced GPLv2 or later. linux-igd was formerly in Debian but orphaned and subsequently removed from unstable as RoQA RC-buggy in #411875. Upstream has now restarted development and fixed many of the bugs assigned to it in Debian BTS. I have fixed all remaining bugs which were outstanding in Debian before the package was removed and have added a note on SECURITY of this daemon. * New maintainer (Closes: #411875) * New upstream CVS (Closes: #436919, #436365), including important option name changes: - Renamed the insert_forward_rules option to create_forward_rules to better reflect what it actually does. - Added the forward_rules_append to do what people thought insert_forward_rules did. See /usr/share/doc/linux-igd/CHANGES.gz for further details. * Change initscript to do nothing until /etc/default/upnp is configured (Closes: #423189, #399960). * Add --oknodo to all start-stop-daemon --stop calls in initscript in case daemon wasn't running anyway (Closes: #415981). * Use libiptc to avoid needing to exec iptables binary. * Configurable CHROOT and USER/GROUP for daemon. * Add SECURITY note and sample conf for jailer chroot. * Abstract the patch for #397572 from .diff.gz into separate quilt patch 01-debian-my_parse_port.diff * New patch 02-makefile.diff for fixes to makefile * Patch 03-debian-bindtodevice.diff Closes: #441082 (linux-igd does not restrict itself to the internal interface). * Honour CFLAGS in compilation (thanks Gianluigi Tiesi [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://debian.cli.unipi.it/debian/pool/sherpya/l/linux-igd/ ). The sources are at: http://debian.leverton.org/dists/etch/main/source/linux-igd_1.0+cvs20070630-1.dsc The package is lintian clean. This builds and has been run-tested against both libupnp2 and the new libupnp3.
