Bug#351729: noexec home directory policy

2006-02-09 Thread Billy Biggs
It is unclear to me whether a noexec policy on the /home partition is a reasonable thing to do except in very controlled environments. For example, any software downloaded from the net would not run when installed, and plugins for applications such as firefox, or downloaded Eclipse plugins,

Andrew, you don't need to go to such incredible feats of sleuthing. :) I am an SWT developer and I think I already explained quite clearly in this bug report what dependencies are there and what are needed. I have an eclipse.org binary release (3.1.1) unpacked in ~/bin/ eclipse on my sarge

You are right, I just doubled that entry. The strange thing is that the help started working after changing this file. If a manifest file or plugin.xml is ever changed, you must run eclipse -clean to clear the cache. -Billy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject

I don't see how this problem could be specific to Eclipse. Which version of Freetype do you have installed? The FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden is new in a recent version of Freetype and it seems the version of cairo you have installed requires it, but your freetype does not have it. Do other cairo

Hi, I just got pointed at this bug, I am a developer on the SWT project. The issue here is that in Java memory we need to store pointers to C objects. jint is 32 bits, jlong is 64 bits, by the Java spec. To keep memory use down, we decided to have the Java and C code for 64-bit GTK+ ports
