Bug#750708: RFS: audiotools/2.21-3 [ITP] -- Collection of audio handling programs for the command line

 Sorry for not following up on my earlier debian-mentors review until now!

 Agreed with Eriberto, your package is in pretty good shape, however
 there are a few more issues:

 Blockers:
 - debian/copyright needs the full text of CC-BY-SA-3.0-US and
 CC-BY-SA-2.5 (visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/;
 won't pass ftpmaster review)

Done. Wrapped legalcode text from each respective Creative Commons
website output to 78 col, indented, and added ' .' on blank lines.


 Non-blockers, but please fix anyhow:
 - your very first debian/changelog entry should always just be akin to
 Initial release. (Closes: #550216) (i.e. your ITP bug report). You
 don't need to mention any of your other changes.

OK. Done.

 - rename debian/audiotools.docs to debian/docs
 (debian/package.{docs,install,manpages,...} is redundant if your
 source package only builds a single binary package)

Renamed.


 If you haven't already, please forward those patches upstream.
 Patching in license headers the way you're doing right now should only
 be a short-term thing, and you want it upstream-ed asap.


Upstream applied changes to new stable release 2.22 ;  see:

Good review Harlan, you missed some important things though, see below.

 2. Your changelog should close an ITP bug - in your case, #764252.

You can do that by adding this in your changelog:

(Closes: #764252)

 5. Your standards version isn't the latest version - you should update
 it to 3.9.6.

Here is the list of changes since the last version:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist

 6. Your packages should have a short description and a longer
 description that should be enough information for a user to decide
 whether they want to install the package.  Check out Debian Policy 3.4
 for more details there.

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-descriptions

These issues block the upload of this package:

The package fails to build for me:

The python package should be named python-rocket:

https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html#s-package_names

The .so symlink should be installed in the -dev package.

The library package should be named librocketN

Please read the Debian policy sections on libraries:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html

Some parts (in Samples/tutorial) of the upstream tarball do not have a
clear license. The copyright holder is also different to the rest of the
package. Some other parts (Samples/) have a DFSG-free license but a
different copyright holder. The status should be clarified upstream, a
DFSG-free license applied and the results documented in
debian/copyright.

The fonts in Samples/assets are under a non-free license and cannot be
distributed in Debian main. Please ask upstream to remove them from the
tarball and from their version control system. They can simply use
font-family: sans-serif in invader.rcss instead.

http://www.exljbris.com/delicious.html
http://www.exljbris.com/eula.html

Some other issues that you might want to correct:

librocket.pc has an incorrect Version and Description.

Please forward the patches upstream if appropriate.

Please add a debian/watch file based on the example and the docs:

https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch

debian/README.source is a copy of part of the upstream readme.md and is
not needed.

The static library normally isn't needed, please remove it unless
someone files a bug report asking for it to be added.

The pkg-config file doesn't appear to be installed in the package.
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian#Check_points_for_any_package
how_to_build_for_mingw.txt is not relevant to Debian users, please drop
it from debian/docs.

changelog.txt should be installed with dh_installchangelogs rather than
dh_installdocs.

debian/copyright doesn't look like it conforms to the format. In
particular the licenses are missing dots on the blank lines. In
addition, you can avoid having two copies of the license by having one
license section separated from the files sections and have those files
sections refer to the files sections. The long lines of the license text
should also be wrapped.

http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

I wonder about the *.tga files in Samples/*invaders/data and
Samples/assets, some of them look like they might have other files (SVG
or similar) as their source. Please ask upstream to include the SVG or
other source in the tarball and have the build system create the *.tga
files at build time.

If the sample games are fun it might be interesting to make packages for
them. If not, their source could be included in an examples package.

jellyfish: Syntax error in configure when using autoreconf

The PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro is not substituted. You probably need a
build-dependency on pkg-config.

 The details are in the OP of this bug report (#759796
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%20759796).

I've taken a look at this, and the only issue I can see is that the copyright
years need to be updated to 2003-2014 (see gemrb/core/VEFObject.cpp and
gemrb/GUIScripts/CreateControlDecorators.py amongst others).

If you fix this I'll sponsor the package!

It might also be worth pointing out in README.Debian that filenames should be
converted to lower-case after extraction, in particular for the GoG releases,
as documented in http://www.gemrb.org/wiki/doku.php?id=install:unshield-bg1 -
for me the game segfaults after the intro movies if this isn't done.

Have you considered implementing support for the game files in
game-data-packager?

Bug Severity Help

2014-10-07 Thread Bill Blough

Hi mentors,

I am the current maintainer for Xalan [1] and could use some feedback with
regard to a particular bug [2]. 

The bug is currently tagged grave severity due to the possibility of a
user-supplied stylesheet causing an out-of-memory condition  (due to infinite
recursion) and crashing the system.  It has been forwarded upstream and
acknowledged, but not fixed.  

I recognize that this is an issue, but I feel that this is an edge case that is
likely not applicable to most users, and that it would be a shame for it to not
be included in Jesse.  

Other than trying to fix it myself (which isn't an option for me at the
moment), what are my options?   More importantly, what's the *right* thing
to do from a Debian perspective?

Thanks!
Bill

Re: Bug Severity Help

2014-10-07 Thread Paul Wise
That sounds of a potential denial of service vulnerability.

How likely is it that Xalan would be used with untrusted stylesheets
supplied by attackers?

If you don't think it would be possible to fix it you can ask the
release team for a jessie-ignore tag, reportbug release.debian.org,
choose 3 other, explain your reasoning.

You could also reimplement the libxslt solution for this in Xalan.

 How likely is it that Xalan would be used with untrusted stylesheets
 supplied by attackers?

In my opinion, people *shouldn't* be running untrusted stylesheets any more
than they should run untrusted shell scripts or other code.  If we conveniently
ignore that sometimes people do things that are unwise, then I would say the
likelyhood is low.

I don't think upstream has the intention of fixing it anytime soon, and I don't
have the time right now to dig into the complexities of the Xalan codebase
myself.  I'll consider talking to the release team about an exception - I
don't think I realized that was an option.
 
 You could also reimplement the libxslt solution for this in Xalan.

That's an interesting thought.  That would likely resolve the issue as filed in
the bug report against the xalan executables.  However the same problem would
still technically exist in the underlying library code (libxalan-c).  Though,
having never done any programming against libxslt, that might be a longer path
for me than just fixing xalan.

Thanks for your insight.

Bill

Probably libxalan-c would be the best place to implement it?

In that case, it's a normal severity bug at most.  Most of Turing-complete
languages allow OOMing, and if Xalan stylesheets can already run arbitrary
code, an attacker can do things a lot funnier than just OOM.
