Bug#1068489: O: clamassassin -- email virus filter wrapper for ClamAV
Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: clamassas...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:clamassassin I intend to orphan the clamassassin package. I no longer use this package, and I'm not sure if upstream is still maintaining it (I could not find a current location distributing this software). Nowadays I think there are plugins for rspamd and spamassassin that can do this kind of scanning. The package description is: clamassassin is a simple virus filter wrapper for ClamAV for use in procmail filters and similar applications. clamassassin's interface is similar to that of spamassassin, making it easy to implement for those familiar with that tool. clamassassin is designed with an emphasis on security, robustness and simplicity.

Hm, I would maybe call this dnssec-root-anchors. Technically there
should be very few copies of the root key :-)
I ended up with dns-root-data, and also included root.zone and
root.hints.
Hi, Ondřej:
I'm opposed to including the root zone in the same package as the
package containing the root trust anchors. Actually, I don't think the
root zone belongs in a Debian package at all.
Of course, the root zone changes very frequently, once a day or so, and
the signatures have a relatively short duration -- looking at a copy of
the zone, I see the signatures expire next week. So if the root zone
were in a Debian package, we would either have to update it extremely
frequently (qualifying it for volatile) to keep it validatable, or
update it infrequently enough that it would nearly always have expired
signatures. But with new TLDs being added to the root zone frequently,
it would still have to be updated fairly regularly (e.g., look at how
frequently the tzdata package is updated; or maybe a better example is
the publicsuffix package). Ideally the package containing the root
trust anchor would be updated so infrequently and the contents would be
so stable that many people would be able to scrutinize every single line
of changes between two versions of the package; if the root zone is in
the same package then the diff becomes much larger and makes it easier
to miss critical changes.
Can you identify a concrete use case for having the complete root zone
in a Debian package? Is there maybe something that wants an up-to-date
list of TLDs, or something like that? It seems to be a much different
use case from DNSSEC validation.
If we do need a way to get the root zone installed into a standard
location on Debian systems, I think it would be better to have a
separate downloader package. We can do this securely once we can
depend on a package containing the root trust anchor :-)
Something like a dns-root-zone package: it would depend on the package
containing the root trust anchor, but it would not contain a copy of the
root zone, instead shipping a script like update-root-zone that would
try to fetch the root zone from a few well-known authoritative locations
like:
http://ftp.internic.net/domain/root.zone.gz (ICANN)
ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/root.zone.gz (Verisign)
Then uncompress and dnssec-verify it in a temporary location before
installing it into /usr/share. Sort of like what you currently have in
dns-root-data's debian/rules, but it would be something that could be
run by the administrator periodically or on demand, kind of like
update-pciids, rather than only by the package maintainers.
As for the root hints, I think that it might be a good idea to include
that in a Debian package. The bind9 and unbound daemons could be made
to directly consume that file as-is instead of relying on their built-in
root hints. (Though, unless we were to patch out the built-in hint
content entirely from those packages, which I don't think is a good
idea, we would still have to stable update a bunch of packages when a
root nameserver address changes.)
I think the package split should be between e.g. dns-root-anchors
(root anchor related content only) and dns-root-zone (containing root
zone hints and a downloader for the full root zone).
The git repo resides at github.com at the moment as I feel it's not

There are at least bind9, unbound and dnsmasq that can use this as well. 1. Waiting for next upstream release with proper libtool flags. So, I wonder if this package should be responsible for providing the root-anchors.xml file, and the bind9/unbound/dnsmasq/etc. packages should be responsible for converting that from XML to whatever format they use (and unfortunately it appears every different program uses a different trust anchor format). Or by all available formats do you mean that this source package should take the root-anchors.xml file and generate several common formats (at package build time?) and provide them in /usr/share alongside the original root-anchors files from iana.org, so that DNSSEC software packages don't need an XML dependency? (Though, bind9 and unbound-anchor already pull in XML parsing libraries, but e.g. dnsmasq currently does not.) Should we patch unbound-anchor so that its fallback mode (where it tries to fetch files from https://data.iana.org/root-anchors/) can be made to check file:///usr/share/dnssec-root-anchors/ first? (And if so, it'd be nice to upstream that.) Should we do anything about the built-in static content in unbound-anchor that would be duplicative of the content in this package?

(Though, it tries to use master zone file format for the DNSKEY
record, and keep its state isolated to what would be considered comments
by a zone file parser.)
It uses embedded key material in the unbound-anchor source code to
produce this. This embedded key material could be provided by this new
package, instead.
BIND, on the other hand, expects something that looks like this:
managed-keys {
# ROOT KEY: See https://data.iana.org/root-anchors/root-anchors.xml

dnsmasq wants a third format:
# The root DNSSEC trust anchor, valid as at 30/01/2014
# Note that this is a DS record (ie a hash of the root Zone Signing Key)
# If was downloaded from https://data.iana.org/root-anchors/root-anchors.xml

So, the idea is that instead of each program capable of performing
DNSSEC validation having its own copy of the DNSSEC root trust anchor
(and handling key rollover, or not), that we centralize the key material
in a single package, rather than the upstream developers being
responsible for keeping the key updated. But then we need to figure out
how to get the key material into the format that the various programs
expect. (I haven't looked to see what format getdns and hash-slinger
expect.)

Unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also DNSSEC

Err I missed that and I happened to just file the same ITP. I'm
already packaging nsd3 from the same authors FWIW, and am really
interested into {co-,}maintaining unbound.
well, I've written a bit of research-quality DNS code (including some
that uses ldns, very nice library) and run a few production recursive /
authoritative DNS servers; I don't think a package team is necessary for
unbound.

Oleksandr Moskalenko wrote: The following are excerpts from a message by a lead PoDoFo developer who is very willing to help Debian podofo packaging. PoDoFo's SONAME for release versions is the version number, eg 0.5.0 . Each release breaks binary and source compatibility and will continue to do so until 1.0, but the soname versioning permits different versions of the library to coexist. The -dev packages will have to be muturally exclusive (as the APIs are incompatible), but there's plenty of precedent for that (see Berkeley DB for example). See this thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20070709011948.GA29281%40mycre.ws (that's the original Robert's request to the podofo ML. If there's something more I need to do in the build system I'm all ears. I just didn't hear back after the initial query to the podofo list, and assumed there were no further issues. Looking at the Debian packaging thread it seems to have stalled waiting for a response from the person who initially commented about upstream's soname versioning not being useful/correct. That must be you Robert? Regarding the -dev package, I don't know if there's a pragma I can set in the headers as a hint to the linker that it needs to link to a particular soname version of podofo or otherwise make sure it gets the right one. If something like that isn't done, then if the user has 0.5.0 and 0.6.0 installed (say) and they're building against 0.5.0 headers they'll need to specify the 0.5.0 library for linking explicitly. Maybe their complaint is related to that? IIRC BDB doesn't rely on soname versioning; rather than libdb.4.2.so it's libdb-4.2.so . If you can find out what they need and what the actual problem is I can probably sort it out. -- Craig Ringer Is there any will to get things moving? Regards, Alex. hi, when I looked into packaging podofo a while ago I was concerned about the lack of stable SONAMEs, but it seems the frequency of releases has dropped off, so my concerns may have been unfounded.

Bug#449322: ITP: pcaputils -- specialized libpcap utilities
Package: wnpp
Owner: Robert S. Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Severity: wishlist
* Package name: pcaputils
Version : 0.0.1
Upstream Author : me
* URL : http://people.debian.org/~edmonds/pcaputils/
* License : MIT/X11
Programming Lang: C
Description : specialized libpcap utilities
pcaputils includes the following libpcap-based utilities:
- pcapip: filters an input pcap file based on a file containing IP addresses
- pcappick: picks specific frames out of a pcap by number
- pcapuc: prints unique src IPs, dst IPs, or {src, dst} IP pairs witnessed
Also included is pcapdump, a dedicated packet capture utility similar to
dumpcap, but with these features:
- logs packet dump and drop rates
- can run as a daemon
- can dynamically reload its configuration without dropping packets
- can be signalled to immediately rotate its capture output file
- can partition its output based on time intervals (e.g., start of hour or
start of day)

This doesn't sound good. Any reason why your 5701a0-removal patch can't be applied to our kernel packages? Or even better, why the driver can't be converted to use request_firmware() instead of embedding the firmware to the source? There are three hunks of firmware code in the tg3 driver; the other two enable TSO on chipsets which lack TSO firmware in silicon, but AFAIK these chips should function without TSO. (In fact, TSO has been disabled in this driver in the past.) Any modification to the tg3 driver to produce a GR 2006-004 compliant driver would have to diverge from the kernel team's patch acceptance guidelines[0] since upstream is intransigent[1] on making tg3 firmware-free or firmware-optional. The kernel team does not appear to be interested in maintaining such a driver, and it appears future linux kernel source packages will be patched[2] to simply remove the blobs of firmware (I don't know why the driver isn't simply removed entirely since the result does not compile). Obviously, since I and many other users have computers with embedded Tigon3 hardware, I would be delighted if this package were unnecessary.

This seems totally inappropriate. If the driver includes non-free firmwares these should be removed or split up from the driver source, not remove the driver entirely. If what you say is right, the driver *works* for most of the hardware without non-free blobs. Therefore, I can't understand how removing the driver serves our users. That is why I said appear, since I hope that the kernel team has plans for the driver beyond simply eliding it. (I'd like to point out that the equivalent FreeBSD if_bge driver has no firmware blobs.) Any rationale behind that decision? I feel like I'm arguing for something completely obvious... The only rationale for removing the *firmware* is compliance with GR 2006-004... -- Robert Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Applications include network statistics collection, security monitoring, network debugging, etc. . Since almost every system vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, and since there are several tools that require this functionality, we've created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules in each application. .

Bug#381811: ITP: ip4r -- IPv4 and IPv4 range index types for PostgreSQL
Package: wnpp Owner: Robert S. Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED] Severity: wishlist * Package name: ip4r Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Andrew - Supernews [EMAIL PROTECTED], Steve Atkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://pgfoundry.org/projects/ip4r/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C Description : IPv4 and IPv4 range index types for PostgreSQL This PostgreSQL module provides two data types, ip4 and ip4r, which can contain a single IPv4 address or a range of IPv4 addresses, respectively. . While PostgreSQL already has built-in types 'inet' and 'cidr', the authors of this module found that they had a number of requirements that were not addressed by the built-in type. . Firstly and most importantly, the built-in types have no support for index lookups of the form (column = parameter), i.e. where you have a table of IP address ranges and wish to find which ones include a given IP address. This requires an rtree or gist index to do efficiently, and also requires a way to represent IP address ranges that do not fall precisely on CIDR boundaries. . Secondly, the built-in inet/cidr are somewhat overloaded with semantics, with inet combining two distinct concepts (a netblock, and a specific IP within that netblock). Furthermore, they are variable length types (to support IPv6) with non-trivial overheads, and the authors (whose applications mainly deal in large volumes of single IPv4 addresses) wanted a more lightweight representation. . ip4r therefore supports two distinct data types (so far): . ip4 - a single IPv4 address ip4r - an arbitrary range of IPv4 addresses -- Robert Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature
