Bug#340946: apache2-common: suexec2's standard configuration prevents suexec of /usr/lib/cgi-bin
Package: apache2-common Severity: wishlist Hi, suexec2's docroot being set to /var/www means that it is not possible to have cgi scripts that come from Debian packages (and thus are located in /usr/lib/cgi-bin as required by Debian policy and FHS) to be executed under suexec. Please consider compiling suexec2 with docroot=/ to remedy this, and to solve #312252 as well. I am, of course, open to any other solution that allows me to suexec cgi-scripts coming from Debian packages.

Bug#340947: apache2-common: standard path to virtual host document roots under /var/www?
Package: apache2-common Severity: wishlist Hi, suexec's default configuration forces cgi-scripts to be in /var/www, even for virtual hosts. otoh, /etc/apache2/sites-available/default has a quite liberal access policy and would allow access to /var/www/www.foo.example/htdocs via the default virtual host, which might not be desireable. Please consider having a default definition for a virtual host directory like /var/www/virtual-hosts, which has deny from all set in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default in the package version of the conffile: Directory /var/www/ Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ /Directory Directory /var/www/virtual-hosts Order allow,deny deny from all /Directory Then, /var/www/virtual-hosts/www.foo.example could be used as document root for a virtual host without having it accessible from the default virtual host, and suexec could be used.

This is particularly annoying with big packages like build-depends. I'm not sure what you mean about one round of resolution. I can reproduce this exactly [0] if I set Aptitude::Auto-Install=false (either via -o or in a configuration file), which is why I was asking about ~/.aptitude/config. When I accept the suggested solution, I get a consistent result. In fact, Auto-Install=false is set in _all_ my .aptitude/config files on _all_ my unstable systems which I am pretty sure I didn't manually do, at least not in the last few days. Commenting out the line setting it to false fixes the problem for me. Do you have any idea how this could have been set on all my systems just recently?

Aside from editing the file manually, all that I know of that would do this is deactivating the automatically resolver dependencies of a package when it is selected option in the Options - Dependency Handling dialog. I have that disabled for months, because I like to see what I am installing when I am working with aptitude interactively. On the command line, it's ok to have the dependencies automatically resolved since one sees what is installed immediately. It is still not clear for my why the behavior has so suddenly changed, neither in sync with a config change on my part nor with a new aptitude version.

Bug#341434: aptitude: please consider allowing different configurations for interactive and non-interactive mode
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.0-3experimental1 Severity: wishlist Hi, I would like to have aptitude Automatically resolve dependencies of a package when it is invoked in non-interactive mode (aptitude install build-essential), but not automatically resolve dependencies in interactive mode (aptitude, Search, +). This could probably be implemented by extending the config file mechanism that already exists: Today, aptitude uses $HOME/.aptitude/config if it exists and /root/.aptitude/config if that does not exist. This could be extended to have config.interactive or config.commandline pulled in when appropriate, probably as _extension_ to the normal config file to only override part of the config settings. Currently, I can help myself with a wrapper script adding an appropriate -o option, but it would be great to have that feature in aptitude proper.

Bug#331716: exim4: handling of various system users
Hi,
On Tue, Oct 04, 2005 at 02:29:01PM -0700, Ross Boylan wrote:
Thanks to recent local chaos, the system attempted to deliver some
undeliverable messages to the original sender, logcheck.
/etc/aliases on my system needed
logcheck: root
as an entry. When I checked, I discovered a signficant, though old,
bunch of mail delivered to /var/spool/mail/logcheck.
There's similar story for cyrus.
I don't know if either matter is properly an exim issue, but this
seemed the best place to report it.
The issue here is that /etc/aliases does not belong to any package,
and we only create it on package installation if it doesn't exist.
This is consistent with the other MTA packages in Debian, and since
we share /etc/aliases with them, we decided to go that way.
This suggests a more general idea: maybe there should be a router that
sends all messages for users 1000 to root? I recall there's some
Debian policy that would allow identification of account type from
uid.
Technically, this is possible, and I am even using this approach on
some of my boxes:
set_address_data_uid:
debug_print = R: set_address_data for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
check_local_user
domains = +local_domains
local_part_suffix = +*
local_part_suffix_optional = yes
address_data = ${extract{2} \
{:} \
{${lookup passwd{$local_part}}} \
{$value} \
{} \
}
driver = redirect
data =
local_user_low_uid:
debug_print = R: local_user_low_uid for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (uid
$address_data)
driver = redirect
check_local_user
domains = +local_domains
condition = ${if {$address_data}{1000}{1}}
local_part_suffix = +*
local_part_suffix_optional = yes
data = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This will probably break with NIS or LDAP, though.
We decided against doing this to keep compatibility with other MTAs,
and we'd cement Debian policy into exim configuration which a local
admin would probably not like.
Though I've filed a lot of trivial bugs today, and this one is only
wishlist, I'd say it's a bit important.
Yes, it's so important that I feel that this needs to be solved in a
consistent way for all MTA packages in Debian. Would you want to
discuss this on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That being said, I am inclined to tag this bug wontfix for the time
being.
Greetings
Marc

I'm not sure why a Debian box having Debian policy would be a
problem. I guess you're thinking some admins might not want to stick
to policy?
Yes, especially in heterogenous environments where different OSes
might run from the same LDAP database.
Though I've filed a lot of trivial bugs today, and this one is only
wishlist, I'd say it's a bit important.
Yes, it's so important that I feel that this needs to be solved in a
consistent way for all MTA packages in Debian. Would you want to
discuss this on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm short of time right now, and am not a developer, but I could kick
off the discussion sometime in the future. But is it appropriate for
a non-DD to do so?
Absolutely. Debian-devel is for discussion regarding Debian
development, but is not restricted to DDs. We have many non-DDs
regularly contributing, and this is appreciated.
I kind of like having the MTA do it, at least as a fallback, since
there will probably always be some cases that don't update the aliases
file appropriately. If policy prohibits packages from messing with an
existing alias file (I'm not sure if it does), then it's a certainty
this will continue to come up.
Since /etc/aliases is not a dpkg-conffile, we could theoretically
modify it.
Greetings
Marc

How embarrassing! Sorry about that.
Anway, won't the first router pick up all cases that the 2nd would
cover?
Yes, but it doesn't do anything besides setting address_data. I am
using that information again in some other routers, to it is only
computed once and then stored.
Since /etc/aliases is not a dpkg-conffile, we could theoretically
modify it.
I think the relevant we in this case would be whatever package created
the new user. Maybe MTA's could do a check and rewrite if necessary,
but that's pretty ugly.
Yes. But I don't think that adduser should cater for that as well. I'd
like to have input of other developers, so I'd appreciate you taking
that issue to -devel for public discussion.

Ah, what happens if you run gimp without being in KDE?
I don't have any other environment installed, so this is kind of a
challange.
If you have a
modified /etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc or a ~/.gimp-2.2/gtkrc, those will probably
be used instead of the default.

Package: grub Version: 0.97-1 Severity: wishlist Hi, I have a system that doesn't have any console, and is inaccessible in a vendor's computing center (it's a rented server, see http://www.alturo.de/). Hence, it doesn't make any sense to have any altoptions in /boot/grub/menu.lst since there is nobody there to select it, and nobody can operate the console since it doesn't exist. However, when I delete all altoptions lines from the menu.lst file, update-grub recreates the single user option which is especially pointless since the machine does only have the network to interface with the outside world. It should be possible to have no altoptions specified at all without update-grub trying to be smarter than oneself.

This will probably suck up all entropy available for an extended period of time, but to close this bug we need to deliver a possibility for doing so. This will be much easier with exim 4.51, since exim 4.51 now writes the dh_parameters in PEM format which allows the parameter file to be re-generated asynchronously with certtool. So, a local fix for the issue in 4.50 will be useless after 4.51 has been accepted into Debian. However, it looks like sarge is really frozen this time, and 4.51 won't be allowed into sarge.

Bug#308008: munin-node: should use update-rc.d and/or invoke-rc.d

Also, if that weren't enough, the function in question is only run if the package is upgraded from version 1.2.0-1 or earlier. This makes the bug only appear when upgrading from an unreleased version of Munin - in other words: It won't affect new installs of Sarge, nor Woody-Sarge upgrades. Hence, it cannot be considered release critical. In my opinion, anyway. In the time of the freeze, a release critical bug is actually good since it might allow a new version into sarge ;) I cannot see how I can accomplish 1) with the update-rc.d abstraction layer. I can do 2) and 3), of course, but due to 1) I need to make assumptions on the data structures underneath the abstraction layer anyway, so it seems pointless to mix'n'match approaches. I'd value any suggestions you might have on how to deal with it, though. My suggestion would be: (1) detect whether sysv-rc or file-rc being used (s2) read the symlinks and change them if necessary (f2) emit a warning, update-rc.d remove, update-rc.d insert (s2) is the same as we have today, (f2) is better than failing. I have written e-mail to the maintainers of sysv-rc and file-rc whether they would be willing to provide read-rc.d Regarding the Subject field, you mention invoke-rc.d. Ignore that.

Bug#308001: munin: should not store web application data in /var/www
Hi Tore,
On Mon, May 09, 2005 at 08:18:00AM +0200, Tore Anderson wrote:
I'm a bit uncertain here. A quick apt-file search -x \^var/www show
60 packages containing the /var/www directory, including packages
similar to Munin (cricket and mrtg). For some reason, Munin itself
didn't show up on that list, so there may be even more of them if I
goofed up the apt-file command.
torrus is an example of the other kind. I remember not liking the
cricket packaging at all, and mrtg is probably not a very good example.
Most of these, like Munin, only create a subdir under /var/www. The
way I interpreted the passage you quoted above when creating the
initial package, was something like «Web Application shold try to avoid
storing files in the Web Document Root [, but rather create it's own
subdir in it]».
I do not concur with that interpretation, since the policy quite
clearly states that packages should use /usr/share/doc/package (which
is wrong, btw, since nothing should rely on /usr/share/doc being
present).
This seems to be in accordance with current practise
(to compare with the 60 packages above, only 10 packages ship files
in /etc/apache{2,}/conf.d/, and half of these doesn't contain web
applications at all, but Apache modules.
I think it is fine to ship static files in /var/www, but dynamically
generated stuff which is painless to lose (like the .png files)
should, IMO, be in /var/cache, and dynamic data which has value (like
the .rrd files) should be in /var/lib. In my opinion, the value of the
data should take precedence to its use when judging where to store it.
/var/cache could be a ram disk and not being backupped, and I could
surely come up with a situation where /var/www and /var/lib could be
treated differently storage-, backup- and purge-wise.
Another thing that makes me even more uncertain about how to interpret
that Policy paragraph is this: «[...] and register the Web Application
via the menu package.» As far as I know, there's no way to use the
menu package to register web applications in a web server, so it makes
me wonder if this passage is at all meant for packages such as Munin.
I have discussed this on #d-d. Formally, the idea is that web
application register with the menu package and the web swerver queries
menu for the packages being installed and configures itself
apropriately. That mechanism seems not to be in wide use though.
Greetings
Marc

Hmm, but that'd make the file-rc method unconditionally nuke any user- customised startup ordering, won't it? After giving a warning, yes. That is more acceptable than having the init script fail.

However, this bug will probably be fixed by the removal of the function in question after Sarge has been released - it won't serve any purpose then anyway. Oh well, even better ;) I have written e-mail to the maintainers of sysv-rc and file-rc whether they would be willing to provide read-rc.d That would be nice to have, yes. Even better, something like update-rc.d --update blah blah which would only update the order if it wasn't changed by the user, or it could even pop up a dpkg-style conffile dialog asking the user if he'd want the new config as shipped in the package. Possibly. That is too much, since there needs to be storage for the original value to determine a user change or not. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#308323: exim4-daemon-heavy: sometimes splits mail between alternative MXs for no good reason
On Mon, May 09, 2005 at 02:49:37PM +0200, Steinar H. Gunderson wrote: We're currently running Exim on a quite bandwidth-constrained links, and the following has become a problem lately, especially with aliases etc. in the loop: Sometimes, when an alias expands to multiple addresses that point to the same domain (which has multiple MX records), Exim chooses to deliver to half of the recipients via one MX and the other half to the other MX. Thus, the message is sent out twice on the link, instead of simply adding more RCPT records to the already existing connection. This appears quite random to me; what should happen is that Exim decides MX for a domain only once during delivery of a given message, instead of forking into two processes delivering the same message. I suspect the following behavior: Whenever a new message is generated, a delivery process is usually forked immediately which delivers the message. This might be your behavior here. A possible remedy would be to run exim in queue-only mode and to have a queue runner invoked on a regular basis. There are options which make exim route first and deliver later which possibly does the best job in grouping together deliveries. This is, however, a configuration highly special to your case and not suitable to be the default. That being said, I would be interested in logs. This bug will be closed by the end of may if I am not convinced by then that it is really a bug in exim. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#308001: munin: should not store web application data in /var/www

I remember not liking the cricket packaging at all, and mrtg is probably not a very good example. I'm not so sure if I like the torrus packaging, with one binary package per httpd. It is, however, working fine. Torrus only supports apache and apache2 upstream, so things are much easier though. 19 packages is providing httpd as far as I can see, and I'd like Munin to work with all of them, but having one binary package per httpd doesn't seem like a viable option. How about having a binary package for the major httpds? People using an exotic httpd surely have the knowledge of hacking their own configuration. Using /var/www/munin is quite nice in that case, as it'll work with any web server without any extra configuration needed. Yes, since munin can deliver static stuff, while torrus relies on being dynamic. I think it is fine to ship static files in /var/www, but dynamically generated stuff which is painless to lose (like the .png files) should, IMO, be in /var/cache, and dynamic data which has value (like the .rrd files) should be in /var/lib.

Well, it's /var in any case, which the FHS says is for variable data files, so it's unsuitable for fully static files which will never change (ie. files contained in the data.tar.gz part of the .deb), IMO. Right. We have examples of that though, /var/www/index.html being one of the most prominent examples. /usr/share strikes me as the proper place for this. Ageed. /var/cache does not seem to me like an unreasonable place for the Munin output, based on the FHS description, though. Yes. But /var/www seems to be a Debianism that's not mentioned in the FHS, so its intended usage isn't quite clear to me. Neither it is to me. So I would judge for _my_ packages to put files where I know they're right. Is a mass bug filing warranted, or is Munin special in some way that makes it not OK to use /var/www while all the others should? I think the reality is in between these examples. But, there might be insightful discussion on debian-devel. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#307998: munin-html should be smarter about re-generating the HTML files
On Mon, May 09, 2005 at 08:28:54AM +0200, Tore Anderson wrote: * Marc Haber munin-html does always create completely new HTML pages. This is a waste of resources. munin-html should detect whether the configuration has changed, and only re-generate the HTML pages in that case. I don't consider this a bug, rather a design weakness that I agree could be improved. I've therefore changed the severity to what I feel is appropriate. Anyway, I'll make sure Jimmy (main upstream guy) will see this when he returns from his holidays. Agreed. I don't feel it's important enough to push it if he says no, though - generating the HTML pages is far from a heavy task, But it still hurts to have that done every five minutes. Additionally, it is prone to confuse host-based IDSses which would need to be manually configured to ignore the html files changing ctime and inode all the time. Also, it breaks web caching. it could even be that the resource savings you'd get from introdusing the logic you ask for are insignificant or even non- existent. That logic is a stat and a comparision. Not quite expensive operations. It would also kill the last updated timestamp at the bottom of each page, which I at least consider a nice thing to have. A timestamp is included in the rrd graphs, which is quite sufficient, IMO. Perhaps it could be implemented as an option, or even merged into the CGI so you'd have the choice between a fully-static site which updates once in a while, or a fully-dynamic site which updates upon request. A fully-dynamic site is the optimum. Smokeping could serve as example. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#307963: munin: please don't hide CGI mode so well
Hi, On Mon, May 09, 2005 at 12:30:55PM +0200, Tore Anderson wrote: * Marc Haber (3) Have the cron job (3a) run as root (3b) drop privileges before invoking one of the four munin scrips (3c) chown /var/log/munin_graph.log and the appropriate files in /var/www/munin either to www-data or munin regarding on whether graph_strategy is cron or cgi (3d) only run munin_graph and munin_html if graph_strategy is cron. With the Hack in (3c), you don't need to worry about updates, and the local user can even change her preferences any time. The cron job will then just do the right thing. I don't really like this idea, too hacky. I find it quite straightforward. It makes the actual permissions on the filesystem diverge from what dpkg believes (can be handled by using dpkg-statoverride instead of chown though), dpkg doesn't know about the dynamically generated files anyway. I believe a better idea is what I discussed with you on IRC: Change the location where the CGI stores the PNGs to outside of the HTML directory. This requires upstream changes, but I've got a quite nice relationship to Jimmy so that shouldn't be a problem. :-) I've got a proof of concept patch that seems to work just fine already, placing the PNG's in $cgicachedir/domain/, where $cgicachedir can be defined in munin.conf to be /var/cache/munin-cgi or something like that. How about having a munin-cgi and a munin-static package? That way the permissions could be right in the package, and maintainer scripts could handle everything. I belive this is a more correct way of doing it in any case, as the purpose of the PNGs change slightly when run through the CGI - without it they are just static files that take part in a static web page which are supposed to be served by a web server and therefore needs to be found within the DocumentRoot, but when the CGI is in use, they're just cache files for a stand-alone application (the CGI itself), and not something the web server cares about at all. Right. The only drawback, as I see it, is that when you change from one graph_strategy to another, the first graph process with the new strategy won't be able to use the PNGs from the old directory and will therefore need to regenerate all of them. Yes, but since you don't do that all day, I think the drawback is ok. A pity would be the space wasted for two versions, but that could be solved by having two different packages so that the package leaving the system could clean up its pngs. This approach will only require changes to the permissions on the log files and directories, which I don't have a problem with at all. The two-package approach would probably mean more work, but is a lot more elegant, IMO. I can try patching if you want me to. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

I am not sure about whether the munin-contrib package needs a postinst as well, and the hack that munin-node's postinst uses to only initialize the plugins which have been installed new might not work any more.

Only thing I wonder, wouldn't it be better to use DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to indicate that the contrib package should be built? Probably. I mercilessly ripped the code from the exim4 package which does it like my patch does. Feel free to do it your way in your package ;) Policy 10.1 doesn't say anything about it being reserved for noopt and nostrip only, at least, and by using an environment variable I can tell the user in README.Debian (or wherever) to just run DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=munin-buildcontribpackage apt-get --compile source munin instead of doing it in several steps. apt-get --compile only works on unstable, and I expect a good fraction of munin installation to be backports on stable. I don't think there should be a postinst with the plugins automatically enabling themself. It's unsupported stuff, I'd like people to know fully what they're doing if they're using them. So there also won't be any docs advising how to initialize? Will it, for example, matter whether munin-node or munin-contrib gets installed and configured first? The fact that the plugins need to be manually enabled should also be in the package description. When 1.2.0 was released I just grepped for half a minute and found around 10 insecure tempfile uses in the contrib plugins - yuck. That should probably be in the package description.

They even got their own mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), to which I just subscribed. I had actually hoped to get away without having to subscribe to yet another mailing list, and I am not too happy with their idea of using CVS as a collaboration medium instead of a more modern wiki. Additionally, the issue we are having is not on their agenda at the moment. Anyway - I don't intend to change the way Munin is packaged until that project has produced something that's mature enough to be included in Policy with just small or no modifications (would be foolish to change anything before I know it'll be the Right Way, in my opinion).

Bug#309238: RFP: password-gorilla -- A cross-platform Password Manager
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: password-gorilla Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Frank Pilhofer [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/Gorilla/ * License : GPL Description : A cross-platform Password Manager The Password Gorilla helps you manage your logins. It stores all your user names and passwords, along with login information and other notes, in a securely encrypted file. A single master password is used to protect the file. This way, you only need to remember the single master password, instead of the many logins that you use. If you want to log in to a service or Web site, the Password Gorilla copies your user name and password to the clipboard, so that you can easily paste it into your Web browser or other application. Because the password does not appear on the screen, Password Gorilla is safe to use in the presence of others. The convenience of Password Gorilla allows you to choose different, non-intuitive passwords for each service. An integrated random password generator can provide one-time passwords, tunable to various services' policies. Password Gorilla is a tcl/tk application which can run on Linux and Windows, and the files written are supposed to be compatible between platforms. This is important for collaboration in heterogenous environments. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Would you bother me to reassign this to adduser or do you have already requests for NIS account management for it ? Feel free to reassign, but that bug will quickly catch a severity wishlist, tags wontfix help. About adduser maintainership, what is your current setup? Do you have a team setup or is the package basically maintained by just you? Adduser used to be maintained by Roland Bauerschmidt, and he accepted me as a co-maintainer in 2004. He is quite busy with openldap, I am quite busy with exim4, and thus only urgent bugs or easily fixable items get addressed. I understand that Roland has some ideas about the next generation adduser, but I surely don't plan on putting any time into that. From the degree of Roland's participation in adduser in the last months, I guess that he is swamped with work as well. So it looks like next generation adduser will be a completely different package written by somebody else, and that a plugin architecture in the current adduser won't happen any time soon. Actually, I got involved with adduser maintainership when I needed some minor changes to make package account creation easier. These issues are addressed, which kind of concludes my interest in adduser. I'll try to keep the package free of RC bugs, and fix trivial requests, but investing any time into big architectural changes are a non-option for me.

Bug#342542: More flexibility in calling hook scripts
On Wed, Jan 04, 2006 at 12:58:29AM +0100, Marc Haber wrote: Please at least offer the possibility to pass parameters to hook scripts (so that update-grub could get a --silent option), or - even better - to use a shell for hook script invocation so that constructs like postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub /dev/null 21 become possible by forcibly silencing the hook script until the hook script has been adapted. In contradiction to what has been said on IRC, this is not possible at the moment. The postinst script takes the first token after the = and execs that token. So, when postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub /dev/null 21, /sbin/update-grub is called with the output not redirected, when postinst_hook = /bin/sh -c /sbin/update-grub /dev/null 21, /bin/sh is called with the kernel version number as parameter, which is a silent error, and when postinst_hook = /bin/sh -c /sbin/update-grub /dev/null 21, a non-existent /bin/sh is called, which is also a silent error. Thus, I would like to ask for a little more intelligence, allowing constructs like postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub /dev/null 21 or postinst_hook = sh -c /sbin/update-grub /dev/null 21 Additionally, the postinst should not silently ignore the configured hook if the program cannot be found, and it should probably warn on if the hook exists with non-zero return code as well.

The semantics are, that 1.0-1~1 is smaller than 1.0-1 but greater than 1.0-0. And this does indeed result in a linear ordering? Probably. What happens if there are multiple ~? They are processed in order. dpkg --compare-versions handles ~ correctly. This is very useful for creation of backport version numbers. Uhm, but this would mean that a bug which is fixed in 1.2.9-1 would still be considered present in 1.2.9-1~zg1 because that version is smaller. Well, there are many different uses of the construct. I usually use it for backports to make sure that the backport replaces the package that is currently installed, but is replaced by the backport source version once it reaches the distribution in use. For example: At time A, unstable has foo_1.2.9-2, while stable has foo_1.2.9-1. If my backport is thus named foo_1.2.9-2~zg1, it will replace 1.2.9-1 on stable, which is intended. When next stable releases and foo_1.2.9-2 reaches stable, this version replaces the backport, which is also intended. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

(2) The exim 4 maintainers could think of having the init script support a special d-i parameter which would put exim in queue-only mode. That way, d-i could tell exim to start up in queue-only mode and happily dump e-mail into exim's queue. After exim's configuration has finally been finished, d-i could re-invoke exim normally, having the queued messages delivered to their final target. Please indicate whether you want us to implement such an interface, and indiciate as well how this interface could look like from a d-i point of view. We will then see what we can do.

With the 4.60 release, upstream has completely re-worked the generation procedure of the docs. They are now using docbook instead of a local format. Therefore, it is likely that your bugs do not apply any more since the docs have been turned upside-down. For you, knowing exactly where to look, it is relatively easy to check whether the bugs still apply for the new docs. I'd like you to comment on these bugs, state whether they still apply, or close them if you find them fixed by the re-work. Any bug not receiving an answer until 2006-03-31 will be closed after that day. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.
