I use a similar package that does stuff like putting my window buttons back on the correct side. ;) I've got no problem with such a thing, but I want to work very hard to avoid it become part of any kind of regular documentation that says "first, install insecure-developer-workstation, then..." etc. No one should be blindly installing it. > I'd even have it install the first time you install a "-dev" package, > but that might be a little extreme. This was ruled out early on in the PTRACE discussions. It's just not really that straight-forward, unfortunately. -Kees -- Kees Cook Ubuntu Security Team -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
