Bug#825744: jssc: Please update to version 2.8.0

[George Bateman]

Source: jssc
Version: 2.6.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm attempting to package processing [https://processing.org] for
Debian. One of its dependencies is version 2.8.0 of JSSC, which was
released in 2014 and is the latest stable version. It's available at
[https://github.com/scream3r/java-simple-serial-connector]. Please could
this version be added to the Debian repositories?

Many thanks,

George Bateman.

Bug#821391: tomcat8: postinst script overwrites file permissions in /etc

This bug also affects Tomcat 8.


I have prepared another security update and I intend to change the
current behavior in Jessie and Sid for new installations to avoid
similar breakage when upgrading Tomcat 8.

Currently tomcat8.postinst changes file ownership of all files in
/etc/tomcat8 to root:tomcat8. I think this isn't necessary because the
default is to use root:root (rw-r-r) which ensures that all
configuration files can still be read by Tomcat8. The only security
relevant file is /etc/tomcat8/tomcat-users.xml in the default Debian
configuration. I propose to modify only this one by changing the line

chown -Rh root:$TOMCAT8_GROUP /etc/tomcat8/*

to

chown root:$TOMCAT8_GROUP /etc/tomcat8/tomcat-users.xml


This should address the issue.

Markus
