Tom, thinkfinger is dead upstream. At this point, if you want to continue the thinkfinger project you should consider adopting it upstream. Hiding your patches in a bug tracker and in a debian dir is the equivalent of three week's notice behind the sign that says "Beware of Tiger," and is not going to achieve the level of quality a security system requires.
While I agree that the Ubuntu developer who prepared this package against svn make substantial errors that should be corrected if thinkfinger continues, I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that it should. You mention fprint is doesn't accept passwords, but it should be relatively simple to change libpam-fprint to accept a password and pass the results down the pam stack. It might be worth considering dropping thinkfinger for ubuntu+2 entirely, if we can get eyeballs looking for regressions. -- Thinkfinger cleanup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
