Bug#754513: ITP: libressl -- SSL library, forked from OpenSSL
Hi, Thomas Goirand: Well, I don't agree with this view. If LibreSSL pretends to be a replacement for OpenSSL, then they should care about being ABI compatible, so we can easily switch from one implementation to the other. That depends. If the ABI in question includes calls or constants which are the security equivalent of gets() or scanf(%s) or …, then no. As Kurt wrote, GNUTLS becomes a better alternative then. Does gnutls have an openssl shim which actually works as a generic replacement? I dimly recall a couple of not-so-nice incompatibilities … Therefore, I'd very much prefer if we used OpenSSL *or* LibreSSL, but not have the choice between the 2, otherwise, that's a recipe for disaster. Well … Please don't upload LibreSSL to Sid *ever*, unless we collectively decide that we are switching away from OpenSSL (and for which a discussion would have to start). … while IMHO it's possible to safely mix openssl and libressl if we prepare for that (i.e. make sure that _everything_ in libressl is only exported with properly versioned symbols), again IMHO the time and effort required for _that_ would be better spent evaluating the changes both projects made and then deciding which of the two shall be in Debian. Both efforts have started fairly recently, so it's kind of premature to do that now; and while IANARTM (Release Team Member) transitioning the whole of Debian to libressl closer to the release would not be a good idea even if we decide it's (going to be) the better alternative. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#754513: ITP: libressl -- SSL library, forked from OpenSSL
Hi, Bernhard R. Link: * Mike Hommey m...@glandium.org [140713 12:55]: Contrary to what you seem to believe, this only really works if *both* libraries have versioned symbols. Otherwise, you can end up with libraries linked against the unversioned one using symbols from the versioned one at run time when both are loaded in the same address space. Actually, both having versioned symbols is not enough. It is either both must always have had versioned symbols or both must have versioned symbols now and every binary linked against either must have been built (or rebuilt) after the symbols got versioned. Bah. Thanks for the correction. However, it seems that the current OpenSSL package _does_ have fully-versioned symbols, at least if I understand objdump -T correctly. So the situation may not be as dire as this thread suggests. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#754513: ITP: libressl -- SSL library, forked from OpenSSL
Hi, Mike Hommey: Well, it kind of is. Because those versioned symbols in openssl come from a debian patch, afaict. So while debian may be fine (as long as all build-rdeps have been rebuilt since openssl got those versioned symbols), other distros aren't covered, as well as binaries not compiled on debian. I am, frankly, not at all concerned with binaries not compiled on Debian at this point. Data point: Fedora uses a different symbol versioning scheme for openssl, so openssl-linked binaries from there won't run on Debian anyway. It's far more imperative to educate upstream (in general, not just openssl – but them in particular) about the fact that adding versioning to their libraries is a Very Good Idea which will save them (and, more to the point, anybody using their code) a whole lot of hassle – as well as potential security holes – if/when their ABI changes. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#495630: ITP: libfaketime -- report faked system time to programs
Hi,
Daniel Kahn Gillmor:
libfaketime appears to be capable of intercepting stat() calls while
datefudge is not.
That's been intentional. (One of the uses of datefudge was to test tools
like make, when they run on a file system whose times are skewed.)
And libfaketime is capable of setting absolute times (i.e. making the
wall clock appear completely stopped for the client).
That's ugly. ;-)
[Datefudge] can't stop the clock the way that libfaketime can:
There are a few programs out there which misbehave (i.e. hang)
if you do that, so I saw no reason to implement this ...
Both tools seem to be GPL-2 or later, so i see no reason why upstream
couldn't join forces if they wanted to. Wolfgang? Matthias? Do you
guys have any preferences for how to proceed? What do you think of
Guus' suggestion?
If you want to enhance my datefudge code with whatever features
libfaketime has that I haven't, be my guest.

Bug#283385: ITP: gimp-ufraw -- Gimp tool to impor raw images
Hi,
Ari Pollak:
Isn't there already a gimp-dcraw package to do the exact same thing but
is more mature? Does UFRaw have any advantages over dcraw? Does it open
different kinds of images?
ufraw has a preview image and lots of options.
gimp-dcraw is a bare-bones import without preview and with too few
options -- using it is hit-and-miss and the results still require
some postprocessing in the gimp.
ufraw has lots of preprocessing options which seem to duplicate gimp's
features. Unfortunatey, they are necessary because its 8-bit limitation
would cause major quality problems.
The bottom line is that gimp-dcraw is unuseable when you want to do a
high-quality import; ufraw works.

Hi, [ James: This is about the WNPP bugs 187546-9: ITPs for the GnuPG components dirmngr, libksba, pinentry, and newpg. NewPG was rolled back into GnuPG some time ago; it's going to become GnuPG2. ] Martin Michlmayr: Shouldn't that bug just be closed? I'm sure out GnuPG maintainer will upload 2.0 when it's out. Thanks for prompting me -- I meant to talk to James about this, but it slipped through the cracks. It's going to be some time, most likely after Sarge, until GnuPG 2.0 happens. Since GnuPG2 has a couple of other modules (GPG-Agent; the GpgSM smartcard interface program) which aren't yet available in Debian, but which users (including myself...) need -- for instance, they're somewhat essential for proper crypto support in KMail --, I've decided to take over packaging them. Ralf Nolden, the ITPs' author hasn't done anything about these ITPs for almost a year and is unlikely to have time in the foreseeable future. Upstream wants Debian versions of their code sooner rather than later; they've built hacked-together interim packages for these modules. That's not an ideal solution. I am working with Upstream to make sure that my packages work with the rest of both Project Aegypten, for which some other people already have some modules in Debian, and Sarge. Thus my intention is to properly package these modules for Debian, including pre-2.0 versions of GnuPG2. I am not going to let these packages disrupt Debian's GPG 1.2 in any way, of course. James, correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that your schedule doesn't have much room for a couple of new packages at the moment... By the time GnuPG 2.0 comes around and is deigned to be Debian's official crypto solution, I'll be happy to either pass it over to James, or co-maintain GnuPG2 if he thinks I did a good-enough job. -- Matthias Urlichs signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I am not going to let these packages disrupt Debian's GPG 1.2 in any way, of course. Err, I assume you mean by uploading to experimental? At first, of course. Ideally, though, I'd like to do this in a way which lets people use the full integration with KMail, meaning GnuPG Agent support, smart crypto cards, et al, in Sarge. I'll have to talk to the Upstream people how feasible that is. James, correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that your schedule doesn't have much room for a couple of new packages at the moment... Well, I don't consider a new upstream release of gnupg (however divergent) a new package, to be honest... It may as well be, given that it's now going to be split into four binaries, and you'll need at least one new library (libksba). -- Matthias Urlichs signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi, Jaldhar H. Vyas: SEE ALSO http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-punycode-01.txt This is RFC 3492 now. You should update the README to point to ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3492.txt Thank you; I'll fix that and send a patch to Upstream. (The modules in question are, I hesitate to say, somewhat old -- but functional.) Does Debian now have a complete infrastructure for using internationalized domain names? Or is there anything missing? Probably not. This should be addressed, of course, but I think the main burden to do that is on Upstream.

Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-09-17 Severity: wishlist -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 * Package name: libnet-xwhois-perl Version : 0.90 Upstream Author : Vipul Ved Prakash [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Net/Net-XWhois-* * License : Perl, i.e. GPL+Artistic Description : generic whois client for perl - From the CPAN module's description, which I'll probably shorten a bit (I see no need for the Perl internals to appear in a package description): The Net::XWhois class provides a generic client framework for doing Whois queries and parsing server response. The class maintains an array of top level domains and whois servers associated with them. This allows the class to transparently serve requests for different tlds, selecting servers appropriate for the tld. The server details are, therefore, hidden from the user and vipul.net (from InterNIC), gov.ru (from RIPE) and bit.ch (from domreg.nic.ch) are queried in the same manner. This behaviour can be overridden by specifying different bindings at object construction or by registering associations with the class. See register_associations() and new(). One of the more important goals of this module is to enable the design of consistent and predictable interfaces to incompatible whois response formats. The Whois RFC (954) does not define a template for presenting server data; consequently there is a large variation in layout styles as well as content served across servers. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: powerpc Kernel: Linux linux 2.4.21-rc1 #3 Fri May 2 16:13:38 CEST 2003 ppc Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/aDm68+hUANcKr/kRAnsIAJ4mfjYQOvh59PWQjxUJ6PZ6JhEnFwCfdf0t MOJkvDMGVqfzzE8S19XsXF8= =/9oC -END PGP SIGNATURE-
