Bug#693487: ettercap-text-only, ettercap-graphical: copyright file missing after upgrade (policy 12.5)

2012-11-16 Thread Barak A. Pearlmutter
I think (but am not certain) that this is actually a dpkg bug. The /usr/share/doc/ettercap-text-only directory in the old version has become a symbolic link to /usr/share/doc/ettercap-common in the new version. This is explicitly allowed in Policy 12.5, /usr/share/doc/package may be a

dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa. Okay, I'll add postinst stanzas. But do you know *why* dpkg has this behaviour? Just curious, as it seems on the face of it somewhat odd. --Barak. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email

The cson_amalgamation.c file is only used by Fossil is you build with configure --json. So, omit the --json on Debian (which you are probably already doing anyhow.) Right, the only config option used now is --disable-internal-sqlite. But unfortunately this is not quite enough to satisfy the

Bug#682826: world writable directories possible patch

Yeah. The right thing is to either: - disable the functionality - have a per-user exported fasl file dir in their home directory, and an easy way for users to add other users they trust to their search path - have a setuid program that builds fasl files from trusted sources, which

I am happy to sponsor this upload; will dput the built package in a moment. Two tangential points. First, examination of the source reveals that the packaging is quite old, and could use some updating. Second, upstream development has restarted in a git repo on sourceforge.

By either of the two solutions, you need to repack the upstream source to remove the problematic files, just like what we did with other packages to make their source tarball DFSG free. This waf issue has nothing to do with being DFSG free. It is a policy question concerning making examining

I mean you need to repack it like what we do with those package needs to be DFSG free. Sure, but why bother? The material itself is both DFSG free and unused. It is not executed, so there is no need to make sure tools can grok it or its format.

I would imagine that the FTP Team's decision on that was for actual source code: computer instructions which are *run* at some point. You know, a waf file which is *used*. Since that is not the case for this particular file, it may well be just fine with them. Perhaps an FTP Team member could

AFAIK, that does require that the files be removed from the source package. They are already removed from the latest source package. The question is if we want to go through the bother of removing them from *old* source packages, which would be a lot of work, for dubious benefit. I certainly
