Hi all, #496366 was reported on mafft with a severity of "grave". While this severity is grossly overstated, I got convinced that ignoring the bug for Lenny would not be good either. I have prepared a patch that fixes the issue:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/packages/mafft/trunk/debian/patches/Securisation-by-mktemp-usage.patch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 Now I have a little problem: our SVN repository already contained unrelated changes, mostly to enhance the packaging. I really would like to avoid to spend some time messing with the repository, as well as I would like to avoid to upload a package that is not produced by the repository. Here are the changes: [ Charles Plessy ] * debian/control: - Moved the Homepage: field out from the package's description. - Enhances: t-coffee. * Updated my email address. * Securisation of the temorary files of mafft-homologs: - debian/control: build-depend on quilt. - debian/rules: modified to use quilt. - debian/README.source: signals that the package uses quilt. - debian/patches: added a patch to use mktemp (Closes: #496366). - debian/mafft-homologs.1*, debian/README.Debian: document that the program is patched. [ David Paleino ] * debian/mafft.1, debian/mafft-homologs.1 added - manpages built statically. * debian/control: - B-D updated (see above) - added myself to Uploaders - moved XS-Vcs-* fields to Vcs-* - Updated to Standards-Version 3.7.3 (no changes needed) * debian/rules: - reflecting static build of manpages - minor changes Would you accept this package in Lenny to fix #496366?
