Bug#197365: sussen 0.5
We have released sussen 0.5 today. We've included the necessary Debian scripts to build a .deb archive with the source tarball. They are also available in our CVS repository. To build sussen now, you require: libgnomeui-dev libglade2-dev libgnet-dev libxslt1-dev libgda2-dev libgnomedb2-dev We also included a new build system with this release so hopefully any issues that were in 0.4 have been resolved. As always we are willing to work with any Debian developers to make sure these scripts work and get .debs available for your users. Let us know if we can be of assistance. -- Loren Bandiera, CISSP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Star Chamber Inc.
Bug#197365: sussen
I checked a debian/ sub-directory into the sussen cvs repository today. I was able to build and install .debs for sussen. There are probably bugs but it's a start. In terms of MySQL, I needed libmysqld.a but Debian doesn't provide that for some reason. Oddly though, if you look at the debian/rules file for MySQL it does --enable-embedded-server. I don't know why they would enable the option and build the library but not install it. Seems odd to me. Anyway what I did was go into debian/libmysqlclient12.files and add the line: usr/lib/libmysqld*.* Then I when up a directory and executed: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot I then installed the generated .debs and I could compile sussen. I've also checked in a new build system written by myself (instead of letting Anjuta generate it) and it should clear up most of issues with detection. It doesn't check for the nessus libraries right now but we plan to remove that dependency by the next release. If you check out CVS and don't see any of this, SourceForge is having issues with CVS access. It should appear shortly. -- Loren Bandiera, CISSP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Star Chamber Inc.
Bug#197365: sussen
Forgot to CC bugs.debian.org in my messages to Andrew Lau. Here is my update, for the record :) = 1) Yes, the build system definitely has issues. It's all generated by Anjuta right now, we are working on cleaning that up for the next release. The dependencies are listed in the README currently to assist people. 2) sussen uses an embedded MySQL server so it doesn't need to interact with the Debian one. It runs inside sussen, it doesn't listen on any ports and you can't access it from outside processes. When one of our employees was working on the RPMs for sussen, they ran into an issue with re-compiling MySQL server with the embedded support. Here is the config we used, might be helpful. The main things are --with-embedded-server and --with-client--ldflags=-lstdc++, but we haven't tested it with just those options yet. ./configure --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/mysql --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql --with-raid --with-low-memory --enable-assembler --with-charset=latin1 --enable-local-infile --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-extra-charsets=all --enable-thread-safe-client --with-client-ldflags=-lstdc++ --with-unix-socket-path=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --with-embedded-server -- Loren Bandiera, CISSP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Star Chamber Inc.

A really dodgy way of doing it is to run alien on RPMs to convert them, but the packages produced are not policy compliant and will not be accepted for upload into Debian. > We do have Debian boxes here, but they are servers and putting X/Gnome > on them to just to compile sussen isn't really feasible. Take a look into pbuilder. It's a chroot for building Debian packages without contaminating the rest of the system. > Anyway, I don't know how you are coming along with the packaging, but if > we can be of any assistance let us know. I'm still in the middle of my uni assessment period, so I've been really busy. I took a closer look at building sussen today and I've come to the conclusion that I won't be able to get it working in Debian very soon. Please improve your dependency detection during ./configure! Configure did not complain about any missing build dependencies, I still had to manually install the following one-by-one through trial and error until sussen finally built itself: libgnet-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpcap-dev libssl-dev libwrap0-dev nessus-dev The major hurdle I have at the moment is getting Sussen to interact with Debian's default MySQL server configuration which has innobase support disabled. I've only ever used PostgreSQL myself, so I don't have a clue yet as to what minimal settings are required to get Sussen running (eg. users, permissions). Will Sussen start up the MySQL server manually if it hasn't been launched from /etc/init.d? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
