Bug#124308: Berkeley db4 packages in Debian
Hello all, looking at the wnpp, db4 packeges still seem in preparation, but no proper upload has been done yet. Is there someone seriously working on adding the package to Debian proper? If not, chances are that I might be able to maintain the package, and thus give back my work on them to Debian (we (Schlund) need checked Packages anyway). Even better, if you (Matthew) would stick to your maintainership, and we could use your source in unstable for our packages. Or is there any other technical issue that holds the package from being uploaded?

It seems fairly obvious that you have not yet actually used the package at all. Will you be using it once it's packaged? If I'm going to be running OpenCA, I certainly want to know that the packaging is done right. It's not that I don't trust your ability to learn the package, but I think it is unwise for somebody to be responsible for this package when they're not really even clear on the basic functionality of it. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpOu9xuxxYkG.pgp Description: PGP signature

Judging from the bugs I have found in openca (CVS version at least), I don't think it is yet suitable for mission critical applications. Fixing these small but irritating bugs is a learning experience in itself. I gave up with the stable version because (from memory) I encountered bugs using it too, and files are installed in places that make made me feel uncomfortable (like putting data files below the directory containing the CGI scripts). I think if you use it, you are much more likely to encounter upstream problems then security problems with my packaging. As for using it, yes I am already using it (although not for anything mission critical). > It's not that I don't trust your ability to learn the package, but I > think it is unwise for somebody to be responsible for this package when > they're not really even clear on the basic functionality of it. I can't infleunce security of openca, that is largely up to: 1. the upstream authors. I haven't seen any security problems with the upstream code yet that could accidently give away a private CA key or mark a request as approved, but such a bug would be theoritically possible. 2. The installer/adminstrator. There are a number of tradeoffs you can use when installing openca, which I don't even attempt to deal with so far. For instance, should the CA run on a dedicated machine? Is this machine totally disconnected from the netwwork? If so, then http might be OK, otherwise https with client side certificate checking (to ensure remote user is a CA operator) might be appropriate. Should the RA run on a dedicated machine? 3. local policy for what certificates are valid and may be approved, etc. Yes, there is the additional security risk that sensitive information might be have the wrong file permissions allowing anyone to read that file (I think my permissions are overly strict just in case). However, the biggest challange in package the program is to ensure that all the files go into the correct packages, and some mechanism is in place to configure it. Of course, if anyone sees any problems (security or otherwise) in any of my packages and/or thinks that they could do a better job, then please let me know. Anyway, I can't package it yet, not until the next (unreleased) version of openssl suddenly appears in Debian. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
