Doesnt sound too good for the archive, IMO - Limited to i386 only, so useless for 95% of the architectures - inventing the wheel once again (*sigh*) time should better get invested into making either coreutils code or the compiler better - yet another libc and crypto lib, thats especially what we need. -- bye Joerg liw HE, we had sex in Debian for many years, yes, before I put a stop to it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi
The subject say all - finddup eats all memory.
Looking into it its the Digest::MD5 sum usage of finddup, seems the
author never tested with large files, or lots of files (worth a terabyte
of disc space). Kicking the addfile and instead doing a while loop has
two effects:
- does not eat any noticable amount of memory anymore.
(other than whats needed for the file list)
- is noticable faster, for whatever reason.

Package: greylistd Severity: normal Hi The default delay of greylistd is 1 hour. This seems *way* to large, a value of 600 or even 300 would be better. Reason: - Greylist works against spammers without (big) queues in their crap software, so a temp 4xx in the beginning is ok, even after a minute for those that simply retry a mail 5 times in a row or so. - Everything above a few minutes just hurts normal mail. While a few minute delay is acceptable an hour is bad. Especially as normal MTA go and enhance the retry time with every failure they get, so you may end up with multiple hours, thanks to greylistd default 3600seconds, while you only live with a few minutes if this option gets changed. -- bye Joerg DarkRider also dies ist so ziemlich der einzige chanel wo ich meist 0 peile DarkRider ich schreibe etwas dann rennen se alle gegen die wand und schreien aua -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

On 10884 March 1977, Josip Rodin wrote: The default delay of greylistd is 1 hour. This seems *way* to large, a value of 600 or even 300 would be better. Lowering the default timeout so drastically (to just 5 or 10 minutes) as a default does not strike me as an idea that is particularly feasible in the medium-term, because that will allow spammers who want to avoid greylisting to have to make even fewer effort to avoid greylisting. 60 minutes is just way to much. If, say, you were a spam software writer who wanted to implement a retry rule, if you only have to wait ten minutes per each mail, there's less of a chance that you would get noticed by the user of the infected machine. You really think users notice what happens on their machines? If that would be true there wouldnt be as much crap out there as it is now. However, another reason why 5 or 10 minutes isn't particularly useful is that most normal free MTAs have retry rules set to attempt delivery after fifteen minutes or so (Sendmail default is 0, 15, ..., Exim default is 0, 15, ..., Postfix default is 0, 16.6, ..., Qmail default is 0, 6:40, 26:40, ...), so basically anything less than ~14:50 is not generally useful, anyway. Well. Even 15 is better than the default of 60. 60 is just way to large, in any case. -- bye Joerg Getty meebey: Ich kanns Dir remote machen;) Getty oh mann... erst denken dann schreiben pgp1jp3amp2QP.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#410069: cpu: Make shadow settings more configurable
Package: cpu
Version: 1.4.3-5
Severity: wishlist
Hi
Currently cpu is *very* limited for people that need different shadow settings
at account creation time. You can only
- have the shadow settings configured globally in the config file, which
doesnt help if every account has to get different settings,
- get the info via a shadowfile in. Also limited, as you then need to maintain
that file *and* also cpu doesnt change the pass from the value it reads in
from
that file, which means you would need to hash it yourself. That may be ok for
account migration from normal accounts to ldap, but not for daily use.
One could do ldapmodify runs after cpu useradd, but thats even more broken,
thats not
what we have cpu for. So I started a little patch, attached below. It lets me
supply
the two values for Account Expire and Password last changed via command
line.
One probably wants more later on, but it is enough for me.
Patch is attached, would be nice if you can add it to the Debian package. And
maybe
send upstream.
Be careful, i dont like C, so I just hacked something together. It works for
me, but may
blow your system.
It works as - take the values supplied in config and, IFF there is something on
command-
line - overwrite the two. Ignore this completly for shadowfile (which i dont
use).

One can always type one letter wrong, and should not be left with a broken system. (Imaging having all of the system except / on cryptofoo). So you suggest to ask for the passphrase twice at normal cryptsetup startup? Do you suggest it for 'cryptsetup create' only, or also for 'cryptsetup luksOpen'? luksOpen. And maybe verify isnt the right option to use, but to fail immediately right after one error is plain wrong. Try an older cryptsetup package, it asked 3 times if you entered a passphrase wrong. I also don't understand why you claim this bug being (IYO) release critical. It does work differently to sarge, in a broken way. You dont even have the chance to correct a simple typo. Your interpretation that it breaks [...] (the whole system) is illogical. Typos are user mistakes, I don't see how i may prevent them from a maintainers point of view. Just ask 3 times. Or more than once. In fact you may find thousands of examples where user mistakes end up in the system being unbootable. Are all these release-critical bugs in your eyes?

I think this, or at least a dedicated request tracker for debian-admin, is an eminently sensible idea. Perhaps rt would be better, since the problem with the bug tracking system being open to all is that we're going to have to split the security sensitive stuff out so that it's only sent to the mailing-list, and then finding all the information for an issue later is going to be a bit of a pain when some of it is missing from the bug report. Well. If you limit the BTS to non-security relevant items then its fine as a general pool for issues that are there, for example package install requests. Request Tracker would have the benefit of being able to host all issues, as you can do a lot with its ACL system.

Bug#423102: cryptsetup: sorts crypttab before processing it
Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.4+svn29-1 Severity: important Hi next thing I think is wrong - it seems to sort etc/crypttab before processing the entries in it. Consider a tab like the following: swap1 device random swap cfoo device none luks,tries=3 cbar device none luks,tries=3 swap2 device random swap cfoobar device none luks,tries=3 swap3 device random swap (Of course use real entries for devices). In theory that should get first swap1, then cfoo and cbar, then swap2 followed by cfoobar and swap3 done. In practice it goes and does swap1, swap2, swap3 and then the normal devices. Advantage of not sorting swap first but doing strictly in order crypttab is written - if you have multiple devices using dev/random as input you need a lot of entropy. You get that by typing stuff - like passphrases for other cryptodevices. -- bye Joerg In dem allseits bekannten Land, wo die Intelligenz von einer staatlichen Central-Agentur verwaltet und anscheinend so stark rationiert wird, dass selbst der Präsident kaum was ab bekommen hat, [..] pgpCPeV9xM2Tv.pgp Description: PGP signature

available for amd64 previously). The result was the same.
Well, yes, known. As written in the debian-amd64 list, where you asked
first, its an error from the buildd.
The reason is, as you found out (you really built it completly
yourself? There is *NO* public buildd-log for this security build), the
strip doesnt work.
Its an interaction between dh_strip and an XFS filesystem, causing the
errors you see.
The buildd is fixed to only use ext3 from now on, so it shouldnt happen
again in the future (and from all security builds that got build on
this host this is the only one having this).
The solution, until another X security build comes around is to
manually strip the files after installation, it doesnt hurt in any
other way.
Run something like
dpkg -c xlibmesa-dri_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1_amd64.deb | grep X11R6|grep \
-v drw|awk '{print $6}'|sed s/^\.//|xargs strip

Bug#321795: O: lg-* -- lg-* - Linux Gazette, 111 packages
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi People, i now go and O: all the lg-* packages from the Linux Gazette. That are about 111 packages right now, I wont upload them all just to set the email address to the qa-group. :) If someone wants to take them please consider the following points: - They have a license that is considered to be non-free, so you need to move them out of main or try to get upstream to use a better license. That could be hard, as there are a lot of contributors to the gazette. - Many people dislike them, so if you want to keep them in the current way - have a thick skin. But I would propose to change it to some of the following: - A package that just contains the latest version, so interested people always have that, and there arent hundreds of lg-issue* packages. Advantage: Small, easy to follow. Disadvantage: Only last issue available. - Provide a installer-like package that does the work of monthly fetching the new issues and putting them in the right location for the user. As that would be written by you it wouldnt have a license problem, so could go into contrib/. Advantage: Small, easy to follow. Disadvantage: Either needs a monthly upload to provide the right url, or needs to run on multiple days at the beginning of the months to be sure new issue is there upstream. Or needs to be run manually by admin. Also you would need to think about what to do with older issues. Keep? Delete?

On 11404 March 1977, Mike Bird wrote: Artificially lowering the RC count in Testing is not always preferential to keeping Testing in a state amenable to testing. You say yourself that it's not artificially as RC bugs in new packages don't get that easily in testing anymore... Removing long-standing packages and stigmatizing them as new in order to keep the RC count down is artificial because such packages are not new. It should only be done very late in the release process if the packages are too late to be fixed for the next release. You may regard the process as some kind of perverse incentive to DDs but the direct consequences of Testing missing long-standing packages is to make Testing unfriendly to newbies, annoying for experienced users, hence less valuable for testing Debian, hence less valuable for improving Debian. Feel free to work on an alternative algorithm to manage testing in a different way, fixing what you currently dont like. I am sure that, if you get the work done, the release team will take a look at it. Of course that involves actually doing the work, Im sorry for suggesting that. -- bye, Joerg 2.5 million B.C.: OOG the Open Source Caveman develops the axe and releases it under the GPL.

Bug#484511: Urgencies should all be lower case
On 11407 March 1977, Russ Allbery wrote: You make it sound like it's an ASN.1 encoder or something. If Joerg says that he absolutely won't change dak, I wont change it. But I might look at patches changing it (or better, bzr trees ready to merge), if someone really wants it changed. Why should it be case insensitive? I think I already covered this, but to restate: because it's been documented as case-insensitive for at least seven years and probably more than a decade and because there's a long-standing minority practice of using it in all caps for an urgency of high (possibly going back to the packaging manual that documented urgencies in all caps while stating that case was insignificant). The code in dak, in the current form, is there since 2002-02-13, when jennifer (today process_unchecked) got added to the repository. Most probably something similar existed in the code before this. Its also nearly unchanged since then, with changes being cosmetical. The code itself also resets all unknown (and upper-case == unknown) values to low, so whoever thinks HIGH is doing good or helps in noticing stuff nicely sets himself a low urgency... It's not case insensitive now and I do not see any technical reason to change that. It's not that package names, sections or anything else is case insensitive, is it? Those feel like different cases to me. Package names and sections are names whose meanings are external to the specification of the relevant field and represent directories on disk or file names, which are also case-sensitive. Urgency is a keyword. I think keywords are generally better treated as case-insensitive. An example that feels similar to me is control field names. I personally think people should just use lower case, there is no good reason to have stuff mixed-case or all upper. It doesn't get you anything. -- bye, Joerg #debian.de @ OFTC (01:38) michael hui, hier wird sonntags gechattet :) (01:39) maxx ja, aber nur zwischen 1:35 und 1:45, wenn der Sonntag der 1. im Monat ist :) (01:39) Sahneschnitter wasn hier los? activity :) pgpyiIPy8LZlU.pgp Description: PGP signature

But I might look at patches changing it (or better, bzr trees ready to merge), if someone really wants it changed. Patch attached. I can also create a bzr repository if that's helpful. For the future - yes please. Including a changelog entry. I also added a fix for logging that I'm not sure is necessary but which can't hurt (if britney uses that log file, this would also fix britney, but I don't know how that part of the process works).

That gives no statement about the actual used license, and no rights for
anything. Undistributable.
If you get that fixed you also want to fix your debian/copyright file,
you miss that multiple files have LGPL, not only GPL. You need to list
all (C) holders and licenses...
Also you should read the thread behind
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/12/msg00188.html to see how to
imporve your copyright file even more.
