Bug#670999: O: libapache2-mod-geoip - GeoIP support for apache2
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I'm orphaning libapache2-mod-geoip due to time constraints, the fact that I am personally migrating away from Apache now, and the amount of work that needs to be done on this package. In particular for bug #666795, for the Apache 2.4 migration. It'd be much appreciated if someone can adopt the package.

That one is going to replace Apache 2.2 in Debian Sid pretty soon. However, this breaks all module packages and they need some source tweaks. Please read [1][2][3] for more information about this as this is going to affect you really soon. Yes, I'm aware that 2.4 is out, and will work on a 2.4 package later (likely mid-next month). mod_geoip probably does not work without GeoIP database installed. You should recommend the geoip-database at least. I realize there are proprietary databases available, thus my suggestion to use a weaker recommends constraint. The database stanzas are commented out completely (and I'm not going to change this behaviour), and not having them installed will not cause issues for Apache installations. The main reason that I didn't when I took up the package last year, the database was provided by the GeoIP source package, in addition, the behaviour hasn't seemed to confuse people so far... ...however, since the geoip-database is now it's own source package I will include it for the 2.4 update in experimental. Do you have any public version control system to maintain your package? If yes, add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-(Git|Svn|...) fields to your control file. Not yet, when I've tried to find info on the Debian places for hosting it, I've thrown my hands up in disgust at not finding anything/the right info, and decided to stick with what I know, especially since it is such a small, single maintainer package. In your maintainer script you should call a2enmod/a2dismod with the -q argument. And while you're at it you could perhaps safe some CPU cycles by changing the shell to /bin/sh (you need to avoid bashisms then of course). Your debian/rules file looks fairly ok, but wasn't updated in this century. Maybe upgrade to the newer short dh format which makes it much less probably that you're forgetting something or your package breaks in a unforeseeable future. In re: to both, (and please note I'm not trying to take the lazy approach), I agree, but I doubt there will be another update before Apache 2.4 lands in unstable (and I also note that this seems to be targeted for Wheezy as it is), that requires changing the pre/post scripts completely, I'd sooner go the full hog and start the packaging from scratch (while retaining the changelog) at that point, than making small cosmetic changes now. (a2enmod/a2dismod -q seems to save 1 printed line, it's an undocumented option so please correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe you could also omit the last sentence in the package description as we're not shipping anything but Apache 2 since almost a decade or so. Ha, I'd never noticed that line in the control file, it's still true I guess, but I've removed it locally as a reminder that it is completely out of date. - Nigel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#630016: Builds proceed unpatched & without autotools re-run on source
Package: zabbix Version: 1:1.8.5-1 Tags: patch Severity: important Hi, It was noticed when 1.8.5 was merged in Ubuntu with the LDAP linker bug patched (the same patch as in Debian Bug #556770), that the patches do not get properly applied by dpkg-buildpackage, when it is not building the source package (due to dpkg-source not been run between 'debian/rules clean' & 'debian/rules build'). This caused, a second FTBFS, but also, the realization that both in Debian & Ubuntu, patches applied to the source, may not have been present in the binary builds (potentially causing regressions). Below is the 'bzr diff' of debian/rules that changes the calling location of the 'prepare' section from 'extract' (where it would never be run) to 'build' where it will be run once only, prior to any extracting/copying of the source for individual builds. (Note, I haven't selected Serious severity, even though it likely is, as it seems builds to date for Debian have worked and nobody has complained of any regressions) - Nigel === modified file 'debian/rules' --- debian/rules2011-02-21 22:59:41 + +++ debian/rules2011-06-10 10:42:36 + @@ -107,7 +107,7 @@ # Copy the source directory (without the 'debian' directory) to other locations # to configure and compile the sources there for each database flavor. -extract: prepare $(foreach s,$(VARIANTS),extract-$(s)-stamp) +extract: $(foreach s,$(VARIANTS),extract-$(s)-stamp) extract-%-stamp: @echo "--" @echo "Copying source directory to $(BUILDDIR)-$(*) for building the $(*) variant there" @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ touch $@ # Compile the flavors -build: $(foreach s,$(VARIANTS),build-$(s)-stamp) +build: prepare $(foreach s,$(VARIANTS),build-$(s)-stamp) build-%-stamp: configure-%-stamp @echo "--" @echo "Compiling the $(*) flavor in $(BUILDDIR)-$(*)" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#582965: libvirtd does not release consumed memory after processing add/remove udev changes
Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.8.0-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
A bug was reported to Ubuntu in which the libvirtd service (provided
by libvirt-bin) would consume resident memory while processing udev
add/change/remove events) without properly releasing it, thus creating
a memory leak that on some affected systems was causing an OOM issue.
The attached patch is what Ubuntu is proposing to fix the issue under
libvirt 0.7.x, the same patch (with modified line numbers) has been
submitted to upstream libvirt development.
This bug is an attempt to ensure that Debian packages benefit from
Ubuntu patches.

I'm sure your work will go a long way to fixing all of the problems though. Again, I'll say that I have a complete source package with all of my modifications included that you could use as a base. The modifications are away form the version-tracking and bug-handling code for the most part, so changes should be easy to handle. If you don't mind, I'll apply them one by one, just to make sure, it's not that I don't trust you, it just means I can make sure that they are properly in etc and can say for sure, as maintainer that they *are* fixed. I'm unsure about the wisdom of having the code that generates the files not publically accessible, as this to me seems like part of the source of apt-listbugs. I'm sure that there is no legal argument to that effect, but it seems to go against the spirit of the project. It also hinders contributions, as only a few people can see the code and so diagnose bugs in it, and provide patches that might have been able to fix the problem long ago. Perhaps this is something you could consider as maintainer of the package. If your talking about the old script, I can get you links to it, but seriously, it's just a couple of copies from /org/bugs.debian.org/ If your talking about the new script, which has not been designed yet (from my knowledge), then I am assuming that Andreas will release it to the community, and if so, i'll actually package that with apt-listbugs (as a seperate package if need be). > > The code which i've seen (on the qa.debian.org side), is just making a > copy of all the .status files from the bts spool, which I believe > sometime soon are going to be no more, which seems to suggest that a > complete rewrite of the checking side of the program. This might be a good idea anyway. From what I have seen these files are the source of the bugs related to this, and the reason the package is RC buggy in the first place. In my opinion most of the important bugs should also be RC, but it's not my place to elevate them (though most will probably be fixed along with the RC one by the same changes). I'd have to look at the bugs again fully, but from memory they are correctly labeled, there is one here that should be marked as policy, which I have set in this email. (It's basicly a clone of this one, but RC none the less). > > Sadly however, it may not be possible to run the code at say midnight > when the archive gets updates, due to what I am told is already busy > load on qa., so we may need a message in listbugs stating that the > data may be upto 12/24 hours out of date, we'll get to that when we > come to it. This makes sense, though I'm not sure it needs to be runtime output, it could just be in README and perhaps the package description. I'm sure we'd have more #374104's due to peoples lack of reading READMEs, a better option in my opinion, is have the message, which can be disabled after the first run. As in, say W: apt-listbugs data may not be current due to technical limitations on the data host, to read more about this, and for instructions to disable this message please see /usr/share/doc/apt-listbugs/README Of course, I will have to change the warning message to better suit the various languages.

Bug#334697: apt-listbugs
So, far I have been attempting to incorporate your patches into the code, but I have decided to start from scratch again, and try and kill the RC bug (334697), I have been in contact with Aba (Andreas) and we should have some fresh data files built (based off the output of bts2ldap), I'm sure it can be easily phased by apt-listbugs with a bit of work. The code which i've seen (on the qa.debian.org side), is just making a copy of all the .status files from the bts spool, which I believe sometime soon are going to be no more, which seems to suggest that a complete rewrite of the checking side of the program. Sadly however, it may not be possible to run the code at say midnight when the archive gets updates, due to what I am told is already busy load on qa., so we may need a message in listbugs stating that the data may be upto 12/24 hours out of date, we'll get to that when we come to it.

I have sent patches to the BTS where a clean patch was possible for the bug report, but I have much more done in my local copy. I can let you have my latest source if you let me know how you want it. It is an svn repo that starts from the current unstable package at the moment. I would be interested in working with you until the packages are in a decent shape again, how do you feel about this? My current version (I think) fixes all the bugs that do not require a major overhaul of the code. It also leaves the version tracking etc. problems as it appears the problem is within the code that generates the files that apt-listbugs uses to get the bug states, and I do not have access to that code. I believe that it runs on merkel, so maybe a DD can access it and make it publically available. > > Also out of interest, are you a DD? No, unfortuanately not.

Package: wnpp Severity: normal What is texi2html? texi2html is a Perl script that converts Texinfo files to HTML. The program takes Texinfo files (not info ones) and produces a set of HTML files.

Note: I'm refering to the version on www.debian.org/doc/ The paragraph presently reads: dpatch also provides these facilities, but it's intented to be even easier to use. See the package dpatch for documentation and examples (in /usr/share/doc/dpatch). However I have assuming it is meant to read: dpatch also provides these facilities, but it's *intended* to be even easier to use. See the package dpatch for documentation and examples (in /usr/share/doc/dpatch). Easy mistake to make, and easy to miss when checking it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.3 Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#321586: texi2html images licence
(Also replying to bug page & debian-legal (d-l: please CC me on any replies)) Personally from what I have gathered: * If texi2html has released the singular images under a special agreement (from which it seems), then maybe the images should be released dual-licensed (under GPL & CC), of course under this agreement Debian would only be able to pickup the GPL part.

So i'm going to wait, if there isn't any movement, I might talk to the maintainer of the packages that the images originally came from to split them, so texi2html can depends on them. And use CVS checkouts which exclude the violating images.

Bug#321586: texi2html: Includes non-free image
Subject: texi2html: Includes non-free images Package: texi2html Version: 1.76-2 Severity: serious Justification: CC Images are not compatible with DFSG >From my report at https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=14052 Is it possible for the images in texi2html to be replaced from CC-Attr-Sharealike to a more compatible license that Debian will accept. As the matter stands it seems you are actually claiming GPL'ed images to be CC'ed, hence meaning we can't keep texi2html in the mainstream debian which would mean a complete break down in quite a few of the packages. The singular project which you got the images from claims it's all GPL, which means that the images in texi2html is too. As it stands, this problem is blocking the update of texi2html on Debian which fixes 2 RC bugs (which are actually still unreplied to here). To fix this we could split texi2html and have a -data package in non-free (and the main package in contrib). But this would mean 92 packages directly affected, and thousands more indirectly (glibc build-deps on texi2html). Will await upstream response for decision however. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.3 Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages texi2html depends on: ii perl 5.8.7-3Larry Wall's Practical Extraction texi2html recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

I really depends on what happened regrading iptables, ipkungfu, and possible interference... There are a few reasons why this may have happened: 1) ipkungfu did not load correct at start 2) someone (maybe you) cleared all the iptables chains 3) there is a problem with iptables on amd64 which means that it never loaded the chains correctly 4) there is another firewall installed on your system, which loads after ipkungfu which has cleared the "chains" and replaced it with its own that ipkungfu does not know about, and tries to clear non-existant chains. > > Please close this report; I'm unable to provide the necessary Not going to close the report, because: 1) I'd love to know if you get the same problem with shorewall - a similar iptables firewall (thats if you are comfortable with doing this 2) I suspect that it may be related to iptables or maybe even the kernel in amd64, in which case, we can notify these maintainers and sort it all out for maybe less knowledgable users. 3) If it is a problem with ipkungfu we can consider (from what I believe) taking it out of the amd64 package lists. > information to prosecute.

Bug#313124: pure-ftpd: SSL Support Misrepresented
Package: pure-ftpd Severity: important Tags: sarge A friend notified me of a problem is the description field of Pure-FTPd which means that a reported feature is non-existant. apt-cache search pure-ftpd shows the following: Description: Pure-FTPd FTP server Pure-FTPd is a fast, production-quality, standards-conformant FTP server based upon Troll-FTPd. Features include chrooted home directories, virtual domains, built-in 'ls', anti-warez system, configurable ports for passive downloads, FXP protocol, bandwidth throttling, ratios, fortune files, Apache-like log files, fast standalone mode, atomic uploads, text / HTML / XML real-time status report, virtual users, virtual quotas, privilege separation, SSL/TLS and more. Littered with references to SSL. No mention of it being disabled in both manpages, or the docs at /usr/share/doc/pure-ftpd. Everything points to the fact that SSL is enabled. Now to prove my point that SSL is NOT supported, here is some packet logs of the authentication process: You will notice that AUTH TLS is accepted, however AUTH SSL is not. I am aware of the legal issues that people think they're plagued by, when linking to openssl libraries, which forced lftp to not support ssl in fact (for sarge). However, since this package links to libssl anyway, and advertises SSL availability, it should really implement it. - paste - interface: lo (127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0) T 127.0.0.1:21 -> 127.0.0.1:1499 [AP] 220-- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] --..220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed...220-Local time is now 14:28.

Bug#311882: ipkungfu: script output not verbose enough/too verbose
Right, for this bug, I have done some more research into the problems, and infact, this bug relates to output being too verbose. I'm planning on making output from the ipkungfu command when preformed via the init.d script to goto /var/log/ipkungfu.log, and a logrotate to occur when the log is over 100k (or some reasonable value - will check later. Of course, this would not occur when running the command directly. -- N Jones

Bug#311880: ipkungfu: Possible Description Misunderstanding
I'm going to need more information on this sorry, i've consulted a couple of Debian Developers and they have stated that the Description seems ok, with reference to other firewalls (shorewall for example which just states that it is an iptables firewall and then lists it's features). However, I am interested in changing the Description part of the control file if you could give me an example of what you mean. The current description is: Description: iptables-based Linux firewall ipkungfu is an advanced iptables script that can be also used by people that have only limited knowledge of proper security and IP filtering practices. Many advanced features are included in ipkungfu, although IPv6 support is still not included. . Homepage http://www.linuxkungfu.org Of course, I do accept with the recent messups the "can be also used by people that have only limited knowledge of proper security and IP ..." part is semi-untrue, but it's mainly just been a couple of building errors.
