Bug#1024068: RFP: weggli -- fast and robust semantic search tool for C and C++ codebases
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name: weggli
Version : 0.2.4
Upstream Author : Google Project Zero
* URL : https://github.com/googleprojectzero/weggli
* License : Apache-2.0
Programming Lang: Rust
Description : fast and robust semantic search tool for C and C++ codebases
weggli is a fast and robust semantic search tool for C and C++
codebases. It is designed to help security researchers identify
interesting functionality in large codebases.
weggli performs pattern matching on Abstract Syntax Trees based on user
provided queries. Its query language resembles C and C++ code, making it
easy to turn interesting code patterns into queries.
weggli is inspired by great tools like Semgrep, Coccinelle, joern and
CodeQL, but makes some different design decisions:
• C++ support: weggli has first class support for modern C++ constructs,
such as lambda expressions, range-based for loops and constexprs.
• Minimal setup: weggli should work out-of-the box against most software
you will encounter. weggli does not require the ability to build the
software and can work with incomplete sources or missing dependencies.
• Interactive: weggli is designed for interactive usage and fast query
performance. Most of the time, a weggli query will be faster than a grep
search. The goal is to enable an interactive workflow where quick
switching between code review and query creation/improvement is
possible.
• Greedy: weggli's pattern matching is designed to find as many (useful)
matches as possible for a specific query. While this increases the risk
of false positives it simplifies query creation. For example, the query
"$x = 10;" will match both assignment expressions ("foo = 10;") and
declarations ("int bar = 10;").

Hi Rudi!
[When filing a bug, please use X-Debbugs-CC instead of plain CC, so that
the copied person (or list) receives the message with bug number from
the BTS.]
* Rudi Cilibrasi <cilib...@alumni.caltech.edu>, 2016-04-21, 23:11:
* Package name: flipcoin
Version : 1.0.0
Upstream Author : Rudi Cilibrasi <cilib...@alumni.caltech.edu>
* URL : https://github.com/rudi-cilibrasi/flipcoin
Um, this page says "0 releases". Has 1.0.0 actually been released?
I'm an enthusiast of small programs that do one thing well. But I'd
expect a program which is that short to be perfectly polished, and this
one is not. Here's my review of this code:
if (argc > 1)
probability = atof(argv[1]);
No error handling... I'd expect to see an error message when the
probability cannot be parsed, or it is out of range would be helpful, or
there are too many arguments.
memset(, 0xff, sizeof(maxInt));
"maxInt = -1" is would be a more obvious way to write it, IMHO.
fp = fopen("/dev/urandom", "rb");
if (fp == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error: Cannot open /dev/urandom.\n");
The error message doesn't say what the error was, or what program
caused this error.
exit(2);
This exit code should be documented in the manpage.
if (fread(, 1, sizeof(valInt), fp) != sizeof(valInt)) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error: Cannot read from /dev/urandom.\n");
exit(2);
Same problems are above.
return ((probability * ((double) maxInt)+1.0) < valInt);
This is off-by-one, making the return value slightly biased towards 0.
Both COPYING and LICENSE exist and they are identical. Surely one would
be enough? :-)
There is no test suite...
All in all, I don't think this is mature enough to be uploaded to Debian
at this time.

* Thomas Goirand <z...@debian.org>, 2015-09-04, 14:30:
python-editor is a library that provides the editor module for
programmatically interfacing with your system's $EDITOR. The user can
then enter a commit message for example.
.
Editor first looks for the ${EDITOR} environment variable. If set, it
uses the value as-is, without fallbacks. If no $EDITOR is set, editor
will search through a list of known editors, and use the first one that
exists on the system. For example, on Linux, editor will look for the
following editors in
order:
* vim
* emacs
* nano
Don't forget to patch it to make it §11.4-compliant.

With nss_wrapper it is possible to define your own passwd and groups file which will be used by software to act correctly while under test. If you have a client and server under test they normally use functions to resolve network names to addresses (DNS) or vice versa.

Bug#723736: I would like to maintain lintian4python
Hi Heather! * Heather Brown heatherbriannabr...@gmail.com, 2014-08-21, 13:15: I am trying to be a Debian Maintainer and I'm new to it. I know Python and Perl so I think maintaining the lintian4python package would be a good starting point. I don't think so. It's a difficult package. It requires deep expertise in packaging Python software for Debian, which presumably you don't have. So no, I'm not handing lintian4python over to you; or at least not yet. You are of course welcome to provide me with patches. There are many open bugs; some of them shouldn't be difficult to fix. Based on reading the Debian documentation on this process, I believe that if you accept my request to take over as maintainer, then you need to sign my public key (attached) and then I can send a mail to the debian-newmaint mailing list to state my intent. No, that's not quite right. You don't have to have to your OpenPGP key signed by anybody to be a package maintainer. However, at least at the beginning, you need a sponsor: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#Sponsored_Packages You probably got confused, because there is a Debian role named Debian Maintainer (note the capital letters). DMs are people who have a restricted ability to upload packages to the Debian archive without a sponsor. To become a DM, you do need a Debian Developer's signature on your OpenPGP key. But you can't become a DM without prior experience in packaging. Last but not least, you must never sign an OpenPGP key if you didn't meet the key owner in person. Thus I will not sign you key.

You can populate a netrc-like file at /etc/apt/auth.conf with them (create it if you must and set for it the permissions to your liking!). netrc was designed back when all the protocols were equally resistant to password sniffing (that is, not at all). But these days people most likely don't want to send their password in clear text, and the netrc-like password file doesn't really help with that. Consider the following /etc/apt/sources.lists: deb http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main deb https://topsecretdebs.jwilk.net/ experimental main And the following /etc/apt/auth.conf: machine topsecretdebs.jwilk.net login jwilk password moo37 On the first glace, it looks all righty from the security perspective. But all a man-in-the-middle attacker has to do to steal the password, is to respond to a http://ftp.pl.debian.org/ request with a redirect to http://secretdebs.jwilk.net/, tricking APT into sending the credentials over unencrypted channel. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jakub Wilk jw...@debian.org * Package name: nss-wrapper Version : 1.0.2 Upstream Author : Andreas Schneider * URL : http://cwrap.org/nss_wrapper.html * License : BSD 3 clauses Programming Lang: C Description : NSS wrapper library There are projects which provide daemons needing to be able to create, modify and delete unix users. Or just switch user ids to interact with the system e.g. a user space file server. To be able to test that you need the privilege to modify the passwd and groups file. With nss_wrapper it is possible to define your own passwd and groups file which will be used by software to act correctly while under test. If you have a client and server under test they normally use functions to resolve network names to addresses (dns) or vice versa. The nss_wrappers allow you to create a hosts file to setup name resolution for the addresses you use with socket_wrapper. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#722156: ITP: binaryornot -- Ultra-lightweight pure Python package to check if a file is binary or text.
* Julian Taylor jtaylor.deb...@googlemail.com, 2013-09-08, 17:04: * URL : https://github.com/audreyr/binaryornot * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : Ultra-lightweight pure Python package to check if a file is binary or text. This Python package provides a function to check if a file is a text file or a binary file. It uses the same heuristic as file(1) by looking at the first 1024 bytes of the file and checks that all characters are printable. do we need a package for that? I would mind a library that does only one little thing, if it did it right, was well-documented and came with a decent test suite. Unfortunately, binaryornot is currently not like that. Its bug density is rather high: PY3 = sys.version '3' Eww, the sys.version_info tuple should be used for comparisons instead. def unicode_open(filename, *args, **kwargs): Opens a file as usual on Python 3, and with UTF-8 encoding on Python 2. So it uses locale encoding in Python 3, but UTF-8 in Python 2. Why such inconsistency? Also, this function isn't used anywhere... def get_starting_chunk(filename): :param filename: File to open and get the first little chunk of. :returns: Starting chunk of bytes. with open(filename, 'r') as f: chunk = f.read(1024) return chunk Docstring says it returns bytes, but in Python 3 it returns a Unicode string. def is_binary_string(bytes_to_check): :param bytes: A chunk of bytes to check. The parameter's name is bytes_to_check, not bytes. textchars = ''.join( map(chr, [7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 27] + range(0x20, 0x100))) In Python 3, this raises TypeError. def is_binary_alt(filename): :param filename: File to check. :returns: True if it's a binary file, otherwise False. How is is_binary_alt() different than is_binary()? They have identical docstrings. chunk = get_starting_chunk(filename) if not PY3: return is_binary_string(chunk) There's no else branch... -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
