  Description : Utility to run a program inside a sandbox

minijail provides a consistent method to sandbox of services and applications,
using a mix of capability restrictions, user ID compartmentalisation, namespace
isolation and seccomp.

It is the sandboxing tool of choice for Chromium OS and Android.

 - why is this package useful/relevant? 
   It's a useful security enhancement that could potentially be used by 
   other packages. There's potential functionality overlap with firejail
 - how do you plan to maintain it? 
   I'm open to maintaining this under collab-maint

  OK, good plan. I assume you don't work at the same place where gRPC
 is being developed. It means the packaging will be refreshed in their
 tree from time to time, right?
 
  https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/1696 is what I've done so far. If you can
  help get protobuf3 into experimental, I can flesh the package out more
  there.
  As I see, it was merged. As such, I add my changes over yours.
 
  In my next pull request, I can add you as an Uploader.
  Thanks. How to go on from now? May I get commit access to your tree
 or just send pull requests? Just done the latter.

I'm very new at using Github, so for the time being, maybe just send pull
requests to me. Longer term, once we've agreed on how we're doing things,
I'd recommend just sending pull requests to the upstream grpc repository.

Bug#786375: ITP: grpc -- A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first

  Description : A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that
puts mobile and HTTP/2 first

A modern, open source remote procedure call (RPC) framework that can run
anywhere. It enables client and server applications to communicate
transparently, and makes it easier to build connected systems.

I'm basically helping upstream get some initial packaging together, and I'd
like them to maintain it (or continue to assist them to) once it's in Debian.

Barnyard2 is a fork of the original barnyard project, designed specifically for
Snort's new unified2 file format.

Barnyard is a critical tool for the parsing of Snort's unified binary files,
processing and on-forwarding to a variety of output plugins. 

It:

+ Offloads output processing of your Snort alert files to a dedicated process,
  minimising dropped packets in Snort itself.
+ Parses unified2 files.
+ Uses similar configuration syntax to that of Snort to simplify deployment.
+ Supports all Snort output plugins (except alert_sf_socket) as well as two
  additional plugins (Sguil and CEF).

2010-01-11 Thread Andrew Pollock
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andrew Pollock apoll...@debian.org

* Package name: libpam-barada
  Version : 0.4
  Upstream Author : Moxie Marlinspike mo...@thoughtcrime.org
* URL : http://barada.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : PAM module to provide two-factor authentication based on 
HOTP

 Use HOTP (RFC4226) two-factor authentication with PAM.
 .
 In addition to a normal password, users are also assigned a 128 bit key and
 arbitrary-length PIN number. Every time you'd like to login using a OTP, you
 calculate a secure hash based on your assigned PIN and an increasing counter,
 the result of which is a six character one time password.
 .
 While this module could be used in conjunction with many different
 client devices, it was written specifically with Android devices in
 mind.  There is companion software which runs on Android, so that your
 phone essentially becomes a SecureID token.  All you need to do is
 open up the software, type in your PIN, and you get back a 6-character
 number that you can use to login to your system.

 What is the status of packaging asterisk-espeak?  Are you still

The package was rejected by ftp-master because of licensing conflicts in the
source, and upstream has never gotten back to me about doing a new release
addressing those issues. I figure it's not worth having a package with a
totally unresponsive upstream.

Hi,

Due to the fact that this package has a release critical bug open against it
related to how out of date it is, and that it has already been removed from
testing, I think that once tasksel has been updated to not try and install
it, it should be removed from the archive.

Andrew

I think that given sticky note functionality is built into future versions
of GNOME, beyond what this package was intended for, we can probably remove
this package from the archive, given it is orphaned.

Bug#303024: Who should be maintaining kernel-patch-powerpc-{2.4.27,2.6.8}?

2005-05-02 Thread Andrew Pollock
Hi Sven,

You've orphaned kernel-patch-powerpc-2.4.27 and kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.8,
and I'm a bit confused by the text of #303024 and #303021

Who in your mind should be listed as the maintainer of these packages if not
either yourself or the Debian Kernel Team?

They've been orphaned for nearly a month, and they're at the top of the list
of packages that need to be uploaded with their maintainer set to the QA
group, but this doesn't seem to be the right thing to happen in my mind.

Andrew

 I took a look at the current upstream version (2.51).
 
  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/modules/tool.pl: Upstream no longer uses completely
predictable temporary filenames, but the race condition between checking
whether a file exists and actually opening it is still there.

commands by passing file=; ... | to addrviewatt().
 
  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-folder.pl: The user can execute arbitrary

  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-webdisk.pl: If the user has FTP access
and uploads a file named ; ... |, editfile() and downloadfile() will
execute the command.
 
  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-webdisk.pl: The user can execute
arbitrary commands by uploading a URL in the form http://foo/; 
 
 I stopped looking at this point.  The code is rife with vulnerabilities, and
 needs to be audited line by line; I'm not sure this is likely anytime soon.
 I think we should remove it.  (It can always be added back if it's fixed.)
 

That's good enough reason for me.

I think we should remove vreng because:

- arguably due to the above bug, it doesn't work
- it has no reverse dependencies

- the version in unstable is out of date, and no one has filed a wishlist
  bug requesting a new upstream version be packaged
- 12 installations according to popcon (3 votes)

 Pending removal from unstable, it's IMHO an idea to file a RC bug on the

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: dstat
  Version : 0.5.2
  Upstream Author : Dag Wieers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/dstat/
* License : GPL
  Description : versatile resource statistics tool

 Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dstat
 overcomes some of the limitations of these programs and adds some
 extra features.
 
 Dstat allows you to view all of your network resources instantly, you
 can for example, compare disk usage in combination with interrupts
 from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers
 directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).
 
 Dstat also cleverly gives you the most detailed information in columns
 and clearly indicates in what magnitude and unit the output is displayed.
 
 Dstat is also unique in letting you aggregate block device throughput for
 a certain diskset or network bandwidth for a group of interfaces, i.e. you
 can see the throughput for all the block devices that make up a single
 filesystem or storage system.
 
 Dstat's output, in its current form, is not suited for post-processing by
 other tools, it's mostly meant for humans to interprete real-time data
 as easy as possible.

thanks

Hi ftpmaster, debian-release,

I've had lprngtool up for grabs in WNPP for some months with no interest.
I've pinged all the people with open bugs, and those that replied all said
they could live with it being removed completely.

Basically, upstream is kaput. He seems to have been hit by a case of real
life or something, so LPRng in general is not a happening thing these days.

Release Management: lprngtool depends on ifhp, which is currently maintained
by the QA team, and also from the same stable as lprngtool. It may also be
worthwhile getting rid of it while we're at it. I'll have a chat to the QA
team and see what they say, and if that's the general vibe, file another bug
against ftp.debian.org for its removal as well.

2004-08-15 Thread Andrew Pollock
Greetings.

You are receiving this email because you have submitted a bug on the Debian
package of lprngtool and I'm the current maintainer of it.

I have been seeking a new maintainer for the lprngtool package for 4 months
without anyone coming forward. I've found upstream to be next to dead. He
occassionally responds to my emails in a non-timely fashion. Upstream hasn't
made a release in years.

I don't have the resources to maintain a Debian-specific fork of lprngtool,
and I think there are other alternatives that make doing this unnecessary.

I'd appreciate feedback from you as to how you would cope if lprngtool was
completely removed from the upcoming Sarge release. One potential starting
point is foomatic. Another is switching to CUPS.

Your feedback will help ensure that I don't make a decision that adversely
affects you.

Bug#230767: Update

2004-03-03 Thread Andrew Pollock
Just so people don't think this is being completely neglected...

I've built a preliminary package, and then discovered that it can't cope
with devfs. Super. 

I've sent a number of emails to upstream, ranging from Hi, I'm going to
package up your software for Debian to Hey, this thing doesn't work with
devfs, I'll write a patch, without hearing a peep back.

I'm planning on writing a patch to allow it to work with devfs, but in the
meantime I'll probably enhance the current package to detect the presence of
devfs and do something intelligent (like fail elegantly), and then upload
it as is.

Bug#230767: ITP: devlabel -- storage device abstraction layer

2004-02-02 Thread Andrew Pollock
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: devlabel
  Version : 0.45.04
  Upstream Author : Gary Lerhaupt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://linux.dell.com/devlabel/devlabel.html
* License : GPL
  Description : storage device abstraction layer

Devlabel is a program which dynamically creates symbolic links to
disk/partition names. It uses the disk's and/or partition's unique
identifiers to keep the symlink pointed to the correct location even if
the underlying partition's name has changed. So, regardless of whether
/dev/sdb6 becomes /dev/sdc6, devlabel figures this all out and points
the symlink to the correct data.
