Bug#724465: editra: Includes base64-encoded exe file without source code

[Olly Betts]

Sorry, that was aimed at creating a separate bug report against
wxwidgets2.8.  I'll try that again...

Cheers,
Olly

Bug#724465: editra: Includes base64-encoded exe file without source code

[Olly Betts]

Source: wxwidgets2.8
Version: 2.8.12.1-16
Severity: serious
Justification: contains binary without corresponding source code

wxwidgets2.8 contains an embedded copy of editra (only in the source
package - we deliberately don't package this as there's a separate
package for editra), and editra contains a python script with a base64
encoded .exe file - there's no source code supplied for this .exe file
anywhere I can find in the package:

wxPython/wx/tools/Editra/src/ebmlib/_winrecycle.py

I've already reported bug #724465 against editra for this issue in
the editra package, but wxwidgets2.8's orig source tarball will need
another repack.  I'm working on this already - just filing this bug as
a public note of the issue.

Cheers,
Olly

Bug#724465: editra: Includes base64-encoded exe file without source code

[Olly Betts]

Package: editra
Version: 0.7.20-2
Severity: serious
Justification: contains binary without corresponding source code

src/ebmlib/_winrecycle.py (present in both the source and binary
packages) contains a base64 encoded .exe file - there's no source code
supplied for this file anywhere I can find in the package.

You can extract the exe like so:

$ cd src/ebmlib
$ python -c 'import _winrecycle; open("recycle.exe", 
"wb").write(_winrecycle.recycle)'
$ ls -l recycle.exe
-rw-r--r-- 1 olly olly 17587 Sep 24 16:05 recycle.exe

Cheers,
Olly
