Bug#1083112: O: samhain -- Data integrity and host intrusion alert system

[Javier Fernandez-Sanguino]

Dear Chris,

I've been busy in real life and have not been able to take care of Samhain
for some time. However, I started working on some of my packages recently
and Samhain is next in my list.

I would have appreciated a heads up before filing this bug.

That being said, I'm open for help or comaintainers that want to support
(or take over in a controlled/agreed way) this package.


Best regards ,

Javier

Bug#984736: RFH: cron -- new maintainer need

[Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2021-07-03
Severity: wishlist

A new an active maintainer is required for the cron package. Cron is a basic
system utility that runs programs periodically in the system, it is used by
multitude of packages and is part of the core OS debian tools.

The package is maintained in Salsa (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/cron).

I picked up the package in 2005 and have been trying to maintain it and fix
bugs in it and keep it more or less current. In 2014, Christian Kastner
joined as co-maintainer and has been done the bulk of the job in mantaining /
improving it. He recently did a fantastic job in converting the package to
3.0 (quilt).  

He also provided its replacement, cronie, in experimental (package available
at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/cronie, upstream available at
https://github.com/cronie-crond/cronie)

Cron has been dead for years upstream, Debian still uses it instead of Cronie
as over the years the package has received many changes that are
Debian-specific.

Ideally a maintainer willing to help cron move forward would support the next
major task to be done: moving the Debian-specific patches into cronie and 
providing an updated package for cronie replacement that can eventually
replace cron.

Please contact the current maintainer if you can help in maintaining and
improving cron.

Best regards,

Javier Fernández-Sanguino

Renaming binaries is confusing for end users.

Since 'amap' (the scanner)  probably needs permission to make raw sockets
to work properly (just like nmap) for some scans, why not install it in
/usr/sbin/? That way there would be no conflict with the other package.

Bug#736523: python-future name clobbers existing Python package

[Javier Candeira]

Regardless of the status of concurrent.futures, there is an issue of
consistency with the 'python-future' package name. There is already a
'future' package for python [1, 2], and the naming convention
established in the Debian Python policy [3] would make users expect
this package be available as 'python-future'.

[2] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/future

Bug#684396: Would like to try

[Javier Ortega Conde (Malkavian)]

I'd love to try OpenRC in my Debian desktop system.

I have used Systemd for some months, and it worked mostly well. Last weeks
is giving me errors. I haven been reading things about systemd, upstart and
openrc and I think also that OpenRC is the right choice for GNU/Linux and
for Debian. It respect Unix way of doing things, Debian policies, doesn't
have CLAs (Upstart does) and doesn't try to impose a unique way of doing
things to the community (Lot of Systemd supporters are trying to concinve
we all that Systemd is the unique way and that others won't be able to be
compatible with new kernel technologies). That systemd positions gained my
disapprobation so I uninstalled it, and know what? My Debian continue
working perfectly fine.

Please let OpenRC enter unstable so we users can try it in Debian
testing/unstable without fear to break anything.

Bug#724801: ITP: yt -- yt is a command-line front-end to YouTube

[Javier P.L.]

Hello Dominik, 

You're awesome!, I've applied most of your changes:

- Do not use only the date for your package version!
   - I've applied your scheme, update it to bee8fd44c0

- omxplayer is not in Debian, so do not install the pi-yt script.
   - Applied

- Install docs; NEWS.txt is renamed to CHANGELOG.txt to satisfy lintian.
   - Applied

- Remove whitey egg-info.
   - Applied

- Do not just tar up a git clone to create an orig tgz! Use a proper
  get-orig-source that repackages a Github snapshot. Once this is done,
  you jsut need to do this to create a new orig tgz, even for a new
  upstream version:
   dch -i # insert proper new upstream version, we cannot use uscan
  # here because we cannot really monitor upstream commits
   debian/rules get-orig-source # drops yt_.orig.tar.xz
# in current directory
   # unpack and move your Debian directory
   # or use git-buildpackage

   - I had no idea how to this, I've learned and applied your changes

- As setup.py clearly states Apache 2.0, putthat dual license choice in
  debian/copyright.
- Applied

- I added myself to debian/copyright for the rules file, and to Uploaders
  to justify the changelog entry. If you incorporate the changes and udpate
  the changelog yourself, you can remvoe Uploaders if you want.
- Applied

 - I'd also upgrade the Recommends to Depends. I do not see what use your
ackage could be without youtube-dl and mplayer. I'd also change it to:
   Depends: youtube-dl, mplayer2 | mplayer

- I've added mplayer2|mplayer to Depends, youtube-dl is still as Recommends
  the reason for this is that I've seen a lot of people downloading the 
youtube-dl
  script directly (including me), and I don't want to force them to use the 
debian
  youtube-dl package instead of his. People installing youtube-cli with the 
  --no-install-recommends option then can use his own youtube-dl version

- Attached is a patch that renames all relevant parts to youtube-cli
- Applied

I've decided to keep README.source, it makes no harm and I've an awful memory, 
if I
don't write this down, I'll forget it. I'm still not very experimented with 
debian
packaging.

It still has missing the watch file, I'll keep a look at upstream to see if at 
some point
he decides to use tags, then I'll be able to create a watch file.

Best regards

Bug#675006: ITP: storymaps - Story planning and writing application for children

[Javier Fernandez-Sanguino]

Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist

Name: storymaps
Version: any
Upstream Authors: Sean Hammond
Homepage: http://seanh.sdfeu.org/storymaps/
VCS-Git: git://github.com/seanh/storymaps
License: Free (not fully defined, probably GPL)
Description: Free story planning and writing application for children
 StoryMaps is a graphical story planning and writing application for
 children that breaks down the elements of traditional fairy tales into
 building blocks, following Vladimir Propp's plot functions.
 .
 With StoryMaps children can easily create their own stories:
 selecting the plot cards with the story cards, creating a story map
 and writting their own story using a text editor. Once finished, the
 application can be used to export the story into HTML format.

I am interested in packaging this Java application and already have
preliminary packages (very draft form) available at
http://people.debian.org/~jfs/storymaps/

I'm in conversation with the author in order to get his program into
Debian. Before packaging, the following things have to occur:

- License has to be clarified: a general license file is missing as
well as license headers in source code files
- Associated Java libraries have to be packaged too, this includes:
   + Piccolo, http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d/, which
would solve RFP #579093
   + FreMarker, http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/

Both of these libraries are free software (new BSD and LGPL
respectively) so packaging them should not be an issue.

Javier

Certain source files in this program permit linking with the OpenSSL

under the GPL.  For purposes of identifying OpenSSL, most source files
giving this permission limit it to versions of OpenSSL having a license
identical to that listed in this file (LICENSE.OpenSSL).  It is not
necessary for the copyright years to match between this file and the
OpenSSL version in question.  However, note that because this file is
an extension of the license statements of these source files, this file
may not be changed except with permission from all copyright holders
of source files in this program which reference this file.

I believe the following text should do it:

"In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give permission
to link the code of portions of this program with the OpenSSL library under
certain conditions as described in each individual source file, and
distribute linked combinations including the two.

statement from your version. If you delete this exception statement from all
source files in the program, then also delete it here."

This should be added in the header of source files that link to OpenSSL. See
attached example file (gpl-openssl-header.txt) for a header.

In addition, to clarify the situation, the attached file LICENSE.OpenSSL
could be added to the source code's alongside the LICENSE file

In OSSEC you are actually embedding OpenSSL code directly, so the exception
is required, regardless of whether (in the build) the code links to the
OpenSSL's system libraries or to the OpenSSL code built from the OpenSSL
code you include.

More specifically, the files src/os_crypto/sha1/md32_common.h,
src/os_crypto/sha1/sha.h, and src/os_crypto/sha1/sha_locl.h seem to come
straight form the OpenSSL library.

This being the case, the license exception needs to be added. If you want to
prevent this exception then you could replace the OpenSSL implementation and
use the GNU TLS library, which provides the same functions you use. This
library is GPL-compatible.

Historically, some projects have decided in the past to move from the OpenSSL
library to the GNU TLS because of these license incompatibilities.

Please confirm with them that this *derived* data from the Tycho-2 can be
indeed GPL-licensed. I would be very surprised if this is the case (I've had
contact with some producers of star data catalogues in the past) but if it is
fine.

We packaged the Gliese and Yale packages as they are right now (in non-free
and including the original sources with data files for starplot generated on
install) as the upstream authors would not allow for modification of the star
data catalogs.

Throughout the years maintainers (both Debian and upstream's) have learnt of
this "the hard way", i.e.  bugs in celestia: #174456, stellarium #198495,
kstars #198499, xephem 225002 and stars: #246047, gstar #246048, openuniverse
#246049.

Some upstream developers (kstars') were very helpful in the past. When we
took this issue up with them, the kstars team (Jason Harris mainly) digged up
contacts with the catalog providers. 

This is what someone from CDS replied (when asked about Hipparcos and SAO
catalogs):

: Catalogues available at CDS contain scientific data distributed
: for free, for a scientific usage. Only the expenses related to
: copying and mailing are charged if relevant.
: Companies including such data in their commercial products cannot
: charge their clients for the data. Furthermore, users must be informed
: of the origin of the data: this means an explicit reference to the service
: provided by the CDS and also to the original author(s) of each catalogue.
:

So this initially made the catalogs used by kstars non-free, they then
contacted people at ESA which confirmed that Hipparcos was in the
public-domain:

:  Hello Jason,
:
:  The Hipparcos data is in the public domain and may be used
:  by anyone. We do request however that use of the catalogue data
:   is acknowledged. Something similar to "This application
:  makes use of the  Hipparcos and Tycho catalogues (ESA, 1997)"
:  could be appropriate, and a link to the ESA Hipparcos web pages
:  (http://sci.esa.int/hipparcos) would also be appreciated.
:
:  Can I enquire what you would like to use the catalogue for?
:
:  Regards,
:  Karen O'Flaherty

As a consequence kstars switch to the Hypparcos catalog (and many other
astronomy packages too).

Since the main author of the Tycho2 catalog is Erik Høg I suggest asking
the kstars developed if they have contacted him regarding the catalog and, if
not, get clarification from him

Please, take this up with upstream for clarification because in the past
other upstreams have made the same assumptions which turned out not to be
valid with other catalogs (i.e. yale). It would be best to seek clarification
from the author.  I don't see GPL anywhere at
http://www.astro.ku.dk/~erik/Tycho-2/, in fact, I don't see any reference to
licenses at all so I'm quite sure the original author do not stamped a GPL
license to the data.

Since upstream developers (kstars) where very open to discussion and where
really helpful when we brought to them this issue 7 years ago, they probably
have researched this issue, but a statement from the original author of the
catalog (to be used in debian/copyright) would be good to have.

Bug#597202: ITP: kstars-data-extra-tycho2 -- Contains the Tycho2 star catalog for centralized install, avoiding per-user install

[Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña]

Hi,

First of all, please first note there is an informal policy for Stars data
catalogues which is available in the 'stardata-common' package (more info at
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/stardata-common/). We already provide some
star data catalogues (Gliese and Yale which are both non-free) in Debian
and we should strive to follow the same rules for any star data catalogues
we provide.

If you are packaging datfile it would be best if they follow the policy above
so that other astronomy packages (stellarium, stardata, etc.) can use them.
This means using the original (unmodified) files and providing scripts/tools
(which probably the Kstars team has developed) to convert them into files
usable for other software.

> * Package name: kstars-data-extra-tycho2

The 'upstream authors' of the Tychos2 catalog are not some KDE developers
(with all my respect to their work). Please see
http://www.astro.ku.dk/~erik/Tycho-2/ From
http://www.astro.ku.dk/~erik/Tycho-2/Tenyears.eml the autors are E. Høg,
C. Fabricius, V.V. Makarov, S. Urban, T. Corbin, G. Wycoff, U. Bastian,
P. Schwekendiek, and A. Wicenec.

> * URL : 
> http://edu.kde.org/kstars/downloads/tycho2_mag_12.5-1.1.tar.bz2

The URL for the upstream catalog is not correct. This is the URL for the
files distributed by KDE which are maybe *not* the original files.

> * License : GPL

This license is *not* the license the Tycho2 catalog was distributed with
10 years ago (8th february 2000). It might be worth clarifying with
Erik Høg, original author of the catalog from the Niels Bohr Institute
under which license this catalog can be distribued.

Please note that other catalogues distributed by international
organisations (ESA, NASA) have had a 'please do not modify these files'
strings attached and have thus fallen into non-free (see gliese and
yale catalogues).

>   Programming Lang: N/A
>   Description : Contains the Tycho2 star catalog for centralized install, 
> avoiding per-user install

If the package provides the Tycho2 star data catalogue it should provide the
*original* catalogue as available in
http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/catalogs/tycho2.html and not a "pre-cooked" file
for kstars. If it provides a pre-cooked file for kstars then it should note
it.

As for the license, I do not agree with the license you set up for this
package. If you review http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/myqcat3?I/259/, the
Tychos star data catalogue files are certainly *not* GPL. There is no mention
to the license the catalog can be used with in the README file, and certainly
there is no mention to the GPL. As such, it can only be considered
'non-free'.

Actually, I believe that the fact that the catalog is not provided *within*
the kstars program is certainly because it is not considered free.

Please review the licensing status of the original data files before you make
an upload of this package to Debian.

If you are interested in astronomy packages, I encourage you to subscribe to
the stardata-common-devel mailing list to seek assistance on how to
(properly) package star data catalogues in Debian.

Regards

Javier

Bug#592137: RFH: bastille - Security hardening tool

[Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I would appreciate help with the bastille package, a security tool to
lockdown systems. 

The current version in Debian (3.0.9) was heavily modified to work in Debian
but, alas, patches were sent but not incorporated upstream. The latest
upstream version (3.2.1) was released in September 2008. Upstream is no
longer active with this tool and no updates are forthcoming. 

In any case, the Bastille tool could be rather useful to Debian users if it
could allow them to easily implement most of the steps required to secure a
Debian system (some of which are described in the Securing Debian Manual
[1]).

Steps that I would need help with:

 - Move over Bastille in Debian to an Alioth Project and push to SVN or
   GIT all the different releases
 - Separate Debian-specific patches from the original sources (turn to quilt
   or other patch-handling tool)
 - Update the Debian API for 3.2.1
 - Test and get out a  3.2.1 release for Debian

Regards

Javier

Bug#565143: Maybe update cron to cronie instead?

[Javier Fernandez-Sanguino]

Hi,

For those reviewing/thinking on helping with this RFH bug it is worth
noting that Vixie's cron is rather dead upstream, there have been no
changes post the 4.1 release available at
http://ftp.isc.org/isc/cron/ (dated january 2004)

In the meantime, the Red Hat / Fedora folks have forked off vixie-cron
into cronie "recently" (2008, IIRC) and this project [1] has since
been adopted by  Mandriva and Gentoo folks too. Maybe cron should be
updated to this fork instead. This fork probably fixes many of the
open bugs in Debian but could also introduce some new (like
CVE-2010-0424 which looks seems to be specific to 4.1 and thus to cronie [2])

Forward porting the Debian patches to this fork is still a large
amount of work, however, more so since the fork has already diverted a
lot from the original codebase (4.1)

Regards

Javier

Bug#565143: RFH: cron: process scheduling daemon

[Javier Fernandez-Sanguino]

Package: wnpp

I would appreciate help in maintaining the cron package. The following
is part of my TODO things that I would like to (at some point in time)
do with this package:

- Fix existing bugs
- Convert the heavily patched cron (now at version 3.0pl1-106) into a
source package wi independent patches using quilt or similar tools
- Update to the 4.1 version available at http://ftp.isc.org/isc/cron/
(only feasible once the above is done so that the patches can be
reviewed individually)

Prospective helpers can check out the Alioth project page information
at https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-cron/

If time passes by and I don't have time to work on the package I might
probably change the RFH to RFA. For the time being I would still like
to dedicate some time to co-maintain the package.

Regards

Javier

Nikto was already packaged for Debian (etch provided version 1.35). It was
removed from Debian (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=434392).

Please, include the debian information (including changelog history) from
the old Debian packages and use that as a starting point. I'm not sure how 
many of the patches introduced in the Debian package are current, but it
would be best if you evolved from that instead of making new packages from
scratch.

Time. It was rejected because the packages I provided where not good enough:

"rejected - you need to fix your debian/copyright, see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html
for some details.

You miss to mention a lot of different licenses with a lot of different

If someone wants to do a (C) audit of the sources I can provide a copy of my

This is a very cool tool, and the results are impressive. However, as
this is a "small" utility, does it make sense to have a NEW package
for it? Wouldn't it make more sense to provide it in, for example, the
debian-goodies package?

Damyan, Thanks so much for answering, and thanks especially for agreeing to

Fixed.

Upstream is very loose on licensing. His 1.1 release had no license
whatsoever, and I had to ask him to put a license in the code. He finally
put the MIT license in license.txt in the file and changed version to 1.1a.

I could hound him to put the header in every source file, I suppose, but I
have the email exchange proving that he really meant to license the game
this way. I hope this is enough.

Tried to, but I can't make it work. For some reason, spout gets installed

doing wrong?

Bug#356492: RFS: Spout, a tiny but wonderful black and white game (ITP with Bug#356492)

[Javier Candeira]

Dear Mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package Spout, a tiny black and white
cave-scrolling game built in c on top of SDL:

* Package name: Spout
  Version : 1.1a-1
  Upstream Author : Kumi
* URL : http://www.din.or.jp/~ku_/junk/spout11a.zip
* License : MIT
  Section : games

* Browse   : http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/
  and you'll find :
  http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/spout_1.1a-1.diff.gz
  http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/spout_1.1a-1.dsc
  http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/spout_1.1a.orig.tar.gz

Uploading this package will close bug 356492. It is policy-compliant and

Only difference between spout 1.1a and spout 1.1 (the version quoted in the
ITP bug) is the inclusion in the zipfile of a license.txt including the text
of the MIT license.

Thanks everyone who read this far!

Bug#356492: reopened: Spout ready for upload for over a year

My ITP for Spout was just closed for lack of activity in the past year. Lack
of activity is due to the fact the game is packaged and ready to upload (or
at least ready to be examined by a DD for potential upload).

It compiles and runs just fine on Sid/Etch.

I just reopened it, and I am writing to -mentors and -games to ask for an

Bug#390217: New flawfinder release packages ready to upload (co-maintain?)

[Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña]

Hi guys,

I've seen there are, at least, two people interested in this package.
However, a new release has been made quite recently (1.27, 1 day ago) and no
uploads are forthcoming.

I would be interested in having this version packaged (it provides some new
features I want to try out) and have packages ready to upload. So, is anyone
working on this?

If I don't hear anything in a few days (let's say 5) I'll make the upload and
set myself as Maintainer. I'm, of course, open for co-maintenance of this
package and would actually prefer to be backup maintainer. 

Regards

Bug#374954: O: qcad -- A professional CAD System

[Javier Carranza]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2006-06-22

I'm sorry, but I've no time to continue packaging these project 
packages. It 
would be adopted asap because there are some bugs in BTS and a new release in 
upstream.

Bug#356492: RFS: Bug#356492: Spout package ready for upload

[Javier Candeira]

Request For Sponsor:

I have fixed all the snags that were holding Spout from DFSG and policy
compliance. So far I have:

- Got upstream author to include in his sources a license.txt with a
  DFSG-compliant (MIT in this case) license
- Written a manpage
- Fixed my .gpg situation and package is now signed with the same key as
  this email (which is also in the debian keyring)
- Made an icon and a .desktop file.
- Made sure package is lintian clean.

Spout can be downloaded from http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/

So I think that now, barring any involuntary bugs, Spout package is ready
for upload. I am looking for a mentor now: next on my list is writing to the
debian-mentors and debian-games lists.

That's too long for a short a description

This description does not describe what Zenoss does, how it compares to other
OSS monitoring or management systems (like Nagios, Cheops, Cacti, Mrtg, 
Rddtool...)
it also should *not* include names of propietary products since that does not
help people that do not know them to determine what Zenoss actually does.

Please state facts and features, that description is pure maketing b**t.

Bug#356492: ITP: Spout - Tiny abstract b&w 2D cave-shooter

  Description : Tiny abstract b&w 2D cave-shooter

Spout is a small, abstract shooting game from Japanese developer Kuni.
It plays somewhat like Finnish cavefliers, except you have to erode
your surroundings with your ship’s exhuast. It’s great fun.
Your goal is to fly upwards as long as you possibly can, without
crashing or your time running out.

Currently the game is only source-available, as there is no license
provided. I have already emailed the developer asking him about releasing it
under a DFSG-compliant license.

Hi.

I don't see what's exactly the problem. Your "orig.tar.gz" does compile
with g++ 4.0.2-9 on i386. And it does need a lot of memory, but compiles
and it doesn't take too much time (Pentium 1.6GHz).

I was about to do an ITP for fluxus when I came across yours. My packages
for fluxus_0.8 are at http://hiperactivo.com/~kandinski/packages/fluxus/

I have also packaged version 0.9rc1, but I am not putting it up for download
till we solve some problems that I think are upstream bugs:

This software looks interesting, but very similar to PADS

Besides being able to use Graphviz to generate network "maps" which

That one looks interesting, I did not find it when I was googling for
alternatives to CVSup. I would love to see something like this packaged so
that we could distribute copies of our CVS worlwide and not have issues if
we have any issues with the servers holding our CVS in the future.

Ok. Developers, please read this mail and see attached patch as is fixes some

No, it's just that (admin-wise) peep is not really that much useful. It's
fancy, but not that useful.

I'm not aware of any.

Understood. Attached is a patch which can be used to build a Debian package
out of Peep and fixes a number of bugs in the latest release. If you don't 
know how to use it I could upload packages to people.debian.org/~jfs

I just don't want to maintain more packages, so it would be best if you
found a suitable maintainer for these. I can make the initial upload,
however.

Bug#329941: ITP: portreserve - Port reservation program

[Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2005-09-24
Severity: wishlist

Package name : portreserve
Version : 0.0.0
Upstream Author : Tim Waugh 
URL : http://cyberelk.net/tim/portreserve/
License : GPL
Description :  The portreserve program aims to help services with well-known
ports that lie in the bindresvport() range (currently 600-1023).
It prevents programs requesting a port to the libc from occupying
a real service's port by occupying it itself, until the real service
tells it to release the port (generally in its init script).

Preliminary packages are available at
http://people.debian.org/~jfs/portreserve/

The accompanying README.Debian file is attached

Regards

Javier
portreserve for Debian
--

This package is provided to solve an issue that affects some servers and 
goes like this:

- an RPC server (ypbind, rpc.mountd...) runs on boot and requests a dynamic
  port < 1024 using glibc's bindresvport().
- The libc provides the RPC server with a service in the 600-1023 with the
  following formula 'port = (PID % 424) + 600)', unfortunately, this
  port is the same port of a well known service (cups, laps,
  kadmin, rsync, or SSL-enabled IMAP, IRC and POP3 servers) which has not
  yet started.
- the well-known service tries to start later in the boot sequence and
  fails because the port is assigned


If you look at /etc/services you will see that the services affected
with this issue are typically:

  631 IPP == CUPS
  636 LDAPS
  749 Kerberos V kadmin
  783 SpamAssasin
  873 rsyncd
  992-995 SSL-enabled telnet and ftp, IMAP, IRC, and POP3

It has been suggest a number of times to add these ports to a blacklist
in libc but the glibc maintainers are against this as the affected services
might change with time (Note: sometimes this has been requested in portmap, 
which is wrong since portmap does not assign ports, just registers them after 
being assigned).

Typically local admins would fix this issue by changing the boot order
of services so that the server with the static well-known port was
started first, but sometimes this is not an option (i.e. mail servers
that rely on information maps from NIS). 

Another option for local admins has been to assign static ports 
to the RPC services _if_ the service allows for this 
(like using '-p' with ypserv or ypbind). This also helps in setting
up packet filters for RC services.

What can I do fix this issue?
-
(Written for admins, but maintainers can adapt this easily to their
packages too)

If you are running some of the servers above and are affected by this issue 
you need to 

a) Create a /etc/portreserve/$server file with a single line, the name of
   the service port as found in /etc/services or a service number

b) Modify the /etc/init.d/$server file and add this before the service
   is started:

   [ -x "`which portrelease`" ] && portrelease $server

Notice that some package maintainers might gradually add this by default so
you might find that has already been done for you. If it hasn't you
might want to submit a bug to the Debian package quoting the above and
asking the maintainer to 'Recommend'  portreserve. That way you will
not have to maintain these local changes yourself.

Possible issues:


If an RPC service is already running and you install a new package that
provides a daemon that requires the same port the installation will fail
_even_ if the package uses portreserve and portreserve is installed.

There is no way around this, since it would not make sense to have portrserve 
pre-configured for all possible services that require static ports if an admin 
is never going to install them and it's more manageable to have packages
provide the services than having a central blacklist.

In any case, admins that want to use portreserve as a blacklist regardless
of the service being installed can do that through /etc/portrelease

Better yet, the metapackage should be intregrated in tasksel and the

For several reasons, one being that the BSD folks use CVS extensively, it's
part of how the ports system (and upgrades) work.

It does make sense, there are some features (like CVS syncing, which is 
useful for remote backups) that OpenCVS *might* (I haven't looked) implement
straight out of the box and that the current CVS lacks.

Also notice that some of our services (web pages, documentation project)
use CVS and will do so for a long time. Having a CVS server available to
switch to if a security issue in the current standard CVS server is found
is something that would be useful to prevent downtime of those services
if the debian admins have to switch them off.

I say go for it.

I've checked that program and it is a 15K perl script. There is even a deb
package available in the sf site.

I think a whole debian package for a 15K script is not needed. Maybe you
could move that bug to a "whishlist" bug against any package that script
could be part of.

Hope that helps,

Sorry, 404 here.

Is this similar to Red Hat's rhn-applet or Apt-watch? [1] I found about 
this last one "the hard way" (that is, after porting Red Hat's appled to 
Debian and have it support apt...)

Bug#289168: ITP: xvidcap - Capture X-windows display to frames or video

[Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 7-Jan-2005

Package name: xvidcap
Version : 1.1.3
Upstream Author : original code by Gmelch , extended by 
  Karl H. Beckers 
URL : http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
License : GPL
Description : (see below)

Package: xvidcap
Architecture: any
Depends: imagemgick, ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: Capture X-windows display to frames or video
 Xvidcap is a screen capture application that can capture
 videos from an XFree86 desktop for illustration or documentation
 purposes. It is intended to be a standards-based alternative to
 propietary tools.
 .
 Xvidcap is still under development, and is not yet fully polished.
 Audio suport, for example, is still under experimental development.
 Nevertheless it is useful for teaching and training through
 video screen captures. You can use the animate program (ImageMagick)
 to view the recorded frames as an animation.
 .
 Xvidcap uses an on-line encoding facility using FFMPEG's libavcodec -
 libavformat.
 .
 Homepage: http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/


I'm still testing the packages I've built, which seem to work fine with 
imagemagick (to produce animations) but I have not yet tested them with 
FFMPEG.

Javier

AThread + AutoCutSel

[Javier Elias Vasquez Vivas]

Hi !

I'm not sure if I'm writing to the write list.  I was really looking for a 
"wish" list under debian packages, but found nothing like that.

I'm wondering if there's some effort involved on including ZThreads library in 
Debian, as well as AutoCutSel.  Or if they would never make it to Debian for 
some reason (licensing for example).

If this is the correct list, and you're willing to answer, please do so CCing 
me directly since I'm not part of the list.

If this is not the correct list, which would be?

Thanks,
