Bug#509045: python-dkim: tries to overwrite file owned by dkimproxy
Thomas Goirand tho...@goirand.fr 12/18/08 1:49 AM Now, would it be easy for you to rename dkimverify to something else? I have put the upstream author (Jason) of dkimproxy as a copy of his email so he can tell what kind of problems we might find if we rename dkimverify. I don't know the full context of this conversation, but I'll try to provide some useful information. The dkimverify script that is bundled with DKIMproxy is not a component of the proxy itself. It's just useful in terms of troubleshooting a signature. It sounds like the dkimverify of python-dkim and the dkimverify of dkimproxy have similar interfaces. But as far as dkimproxy is concerned, you can delete the dkimverify script, move it out of $PATH, or rename it. It won't affect the running of the smtp proxy itself. Hope that helps.

Yes. That helps. The two scripts provide a similar function, but python-dkim only does DKIM signing/verification. It does not implement the policy component, so it's dkimverify can't provide a complete equivalent of the one in dkimproxy. I do think their purposes are slightly different. The one provided for python- dkim is not just meant as a troubleshooting tool. I think it's meant to make it easy to integrate DKIM verification into non-Python applications. While I'm not aware of any current users of this script (python-dkim is a new library), I think it would be better not to rename it since any future applications that made use of it would have to be patched when they would be packaged for Debian. Thomas, I would prefer if you rename the dkimproxy dkimverify since your upstream has confirmed it's not a problem. What do you think?

That is exactly what I was thinking about as well. Thomas, I would prefer if you rename the dkimproxy dkimverify since your upstream has confirmed it's not a problem. What do you think? Scott K Yes, I'll rename it dkimproxy-verify and keep it in /usr/bin, if that is a satisfying solution for everyone. Jason, I can only suggest you to do the same in your upstream sources, as you will have the problem with some other distributions, that's quite inevitable. I'll be able to work on that issue tomorrow. Scott, are you able to upload yourself, or should I ask my usual sponsor (that might be busy)?

Bug#509045: python-dkim: tries to overwrite file owned by dkimproxy
I guess the first question is are they suitable as alternatives? If not, I'll rename. The python-dkim dkimverify takes a message in on stdin and let's you know if it verified by the exit code How does dkimproxy's work? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, I'm the maintainer of dkimproxy. dkimproxy works as ... a proxy! :) More seriously, it's 2 independents SMTP proxy. Postfix sends all email it receives to dkimproxy.in, then dkimproxy forwards it back to either amavis for further filtering or postfix. When a mail is sent to the outside, then it goes by dkimproxy.out. Now, would it be easy for you to rename dkimverify to something else? I have put the upstream author (Jason) of dkimproxy as a copy of his email so he can tell what kind of problems we might find if we rename dkimverify.
