Fwd: Zif and SOS projects on Fedora Upstream
Hi. There is a project named SOS in Fedora collection on Transifex. I'd like to know if there is anyone maintaining it, because it seems like it needs to be translated, but there is no maintainer assigned in Tx and no translation team creation request has been fulfilled in 7 months. The latest change to code in Github is 6 months old. We tried to contact Adam Stokes mentioned in the source readme on Github, but no reply yet. Any help with getting response is much appreciated. -- Best regards, Misha Shnurapet, Fedora Project Contributor Email: shnurapet AT fedoraproject.org, IRC: misha on freenode https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/shnurapet, GPG: 00217306 Пересылаемое сообщение 21.10.2011, 20:42, Daniel Cabrera lo...@fedoraproject.org: On Wed, 2011-10-19 at 00:13 +0900, Misha Shnurapet wrote: Zif: I would send a message to Jorge González (aloriel at gmail.com), also nudge him in Transifex.

Re: Adding ~/.local/bin to default PATH
27.07.2011, 10:17, Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net: I've used ~/bin since before Linux was available, so I don't really see the point in trying to hide it (of course, I alias ls to ls -FCA, so ~/.bin wouldn't be hidden, just one extra character to type when I need to access it). Noone has asked to hide it. :-) The proposal here is that both paths are included in $PATH by default. Your personal preference won't be hurt. In fact, it's a different story. 27.07.2011, 01:49, Richard W.M. Jones rjo...@redhat.com: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin This was added between bash-4.2.10 -2 and -3: I did a fresh install of F15 in the late May, and it's not there. 27.07.2011, 04:15, Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net: IMHO adding directories to the default path should get a little more discussion than a single BZ request (and probably shouldn't be changed mid-release without notice). Yes! Fedora *is* a place to do mid-release changes.

Re: vsftpd in the news
06.07.2011, 16:07, Michael Schwendt mschwe...@gmail.com: And for a sufficiently large tarball of a project with N1 devs, has the signer been able to actually verify all source code changes prior to signing the tarball? Or is the signature only used to flag a package as coming from a trusted project developer without any additional guarantees? A tarball sig is just one layer of safety, but no ultimate protection. The uploaded tarball checksum enters the sources file in git, and any tarball downloaded from the lookaside cache MUST match that checksum. Else it wouldn't be downloaded and used. Source RPM build in koji would fail. This is just a checksum against the tarball that enters the lookaside cache. Yes, I know about this. A malicious package could have been uploaded to the lookaside cache, however. This leads to demanding everyone have signatures available, but what do you do about SVN/Git checkouts or projects that don't wish to provide signatures? Obviously, one needs to be very careful, skim over diffs, monitor commits regularly, archive snapshots regularly, be familiar with upstream release habits. Upstream also needs to do that, to avoid that a compromised account from a committer is used to infiltrate the project. If a source code repository is modified without permission and no developer (or release manager) notices it, would the person adding the tarball sig notice it? The developer of vsftpd didn't notice the change, but still there was early prevention possible. The issue is *one* of the ways source code can be exploited, and checking the gpg signatures for the projects that allow it is a measure against the particular kind of attack. Literally, it would close one vulnerability in the distro. Which is enough. -- Best regards, Misha Shnurapet, Fedora Project Contributor Email: shnurapet AT fedoraproject.org, IRC: misha on freenode https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/shnurapet, GPG: 00217306 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
vsftpd in the news
There's something to consider about Chris Evans blog post as of July 3 [1]: An incident, what fun! Earlier today, I was alerted that a vsftpd download from the master site (vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gz) appeared to contain a backdoor. $ gpg ./vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gz.asc gpg: Signature made Tue 15 Feb 2011 02:38:11 PM PST using DSA key ID 3C0E751C gpg: BAD signature from Chris Evans ch...@scary.beasts.org The backdoor payload is interesting. In response to a :) smiley face in the FTP username, a TCP callback shell is attempted. There is no obfuscation. I have a question: how does that relate to our package building process, and are GPG signatures verified? Thanks.

I asked this question in NetworkManager mailing list, but everyone there seems to be busy, so I decided to ask here. I run torrents on my notebook. On an electricity outage NetworkManager starts asking for a new password, so when I'm not around and the light goes back on (powering up the WLAN router), it just stands stalled with the dialog open. Is there a way to tell NM not to ask for a new password ever? Because I use a 63-symbol passphrase once set up on all the (two) machines so to forget about it. Thanks!

In my experience using knetworkmanager a password is required for each secure Wireless connection and for security these are stored in a secure encrypted area, (kwallet in my case), which needs just a single password for access. Hence a password is always required for wireless access to reconnect after a power out. This is not required for wired connections, so unless you can use some wired connection that restarts on power up to do the torrent downloads, you have little choice, without breaching the security provided by your pass phrase, but to accept the problem. From what I can gather you use long random pass phrases for any external available access which I heartily recommend. Nearly all security breaches are made because it's easy to guess pass phrases that relate to the person who created it. Regards cpp4ever Many thanks for your answer. However, the nm-applet in GNOME does *not* require you to enter passphrase *each* time you establish the connection you've *once configured*. And this behavior is absolutely correct. Also, makes it feel like with a wired connection. What is not absolutely correct is that, when it can't get response from the router, it starts thinking the passphrase has changed (which is wrong because the router is simply off). As soon as power is back on, the AP is back online with the same settings and the same passphrase (how mean of a manufacturer would it be not to implement this). But the client device stands idle waiting for a passphrase. I tested a couple of possible scenarios lately. NetworkManager reconnects nicely on outages that last no more than ~1 minute. Beyond that, it starts asking the question. -- Best regards, Misha Shnurapet, Fedora Project Contributor https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shnurapet shnurapet AT fedoraproject.org, GPG: 00217306 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
