  Description : ELF checking tool with focus on security relevant properties

 This is a small set of various PaX aware and related utilities for
 ELF binaries. It can check ELF binary files and running processes for
 issues that might be relevant when using ELF binaries along with PaX,
 such as non-PIC code or executable stack and heap.

as a user of rxvt I like to see it remain in Debian. I'm not a Debian
developer yet, but I'm a software developer and long term Debian
user. If no other 'real' Debian developer wants to adopt rxvt, I try
to seek a sponsor and/or start the process to become a Debian
developer in about four weeks (huge work load until then).

Same for me. I'd also take rxvt and am no DD either. Michael, maybe you'd
like to agree on some kind of team maintenance? My workload is quite low
at the moment, but will rapidly increase in about four weeks... I'll
mail you off-list.

warning: .dynamic section for "/usr/lib/libasound.so.2" is not at the

Two things here:
 1. Are you using prelink? If you are, that may be a prelink bug.
 2. Otherwise, the I/O error can be caused by a hardware or
filesystem problem. You should read the dmesg output to look for
error messages there.

Which OS combination does not define int to be 32bit on a 64bit architecture?
long should better be 64bit then as many assume that you can cast a pointer 
into a long and back (e.g. timer in the linux kernel has a long for private 
data and not a void*, really sick).

Possible regression in teTeX due to license problems: Please check whether your package is affected

[Frank Küster]

Summary: 

We will probably have to remove files from teTeX due to license
problems: Please check whether your package is affected!


Hi,

in the past I have started to do a license auditing on teTeX.  I found a
couple of files with non-free or unclear licensing, they are listed at
http://wiki.debian.org/ProblematicCtanPackages   I believe that most of
the files affected are old and mostly unused, but there may be some that
are even needed for other packages to function.  

If you have a package that depends on teTeX, please check whether your
package internally needs any of these files.  Below is a list of all
packages that Depend on, Recommend, or Suggest either tetex-base,
tetex-bin or tetex-extra, sorted by maintainer.  

Note that we have tried to contact as many upstream authors as possible,
and we will probably not need to remove all of them.  Some, however,
will surely have to go, and we need to be prepared.

Thank you in advance, Frank

P.S. is there a script to automatically use the output of dd-list to
send mail to every maintainer affected?

You must not wrap this line.

Also, you must have at least one "Source:" stanza, which you appear to
be missing.

It's not only the Source: field, it's the whole stanza, like Wouter

This is mainly compiler-, not primarily OS-dependent. And: all compilers
with an ILP64 data model.
However, the question should rather be: *why* compilers do not define
int to be 64bit on a 64bit architecture? And the answer is simple:
Yes int should be 64bit on a 64bit architecture, since int is defined
as the architectures "natural size" data type. However, it is mostly
not because of the elsewise massively increasing porting-expenses due
to many programmers who never thought about it and simply assumed int
to be 32bit.

So, your metaphor implicitely leads to exactly the same answer ;)

It might be worth noting that rxvt seems to be fairly dead upstream, and
that there also exists mrxvt with tab support. I'll Cc: Qingning Huo who
maintains our mrxvt packages, maybe he has an opinion.

The ITA bug report for rxvt is #388211.

Odd, I always thought is was because C did not have enough int types:

char1 bytes
short  2 bytes
int   4 bytes
long   8 bytes

If you make an int 8 bytes, you have to find some other way of
indicating one of the shorter types (short short maybe? or long
char?).

Yes, mrxvt is quite nice with its tab support, and other features.  And,
mrxvt is being actively developed by the upstream authors.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to spend much time on mrxvt
lately (being busy with the real life).  Indeed, I would like to give
mrxvt away to whoever wants to adopt.

The answer is that the LP64 scheme is used and not ILP64.
There is a good and detailed explanation available:

Bug#388324: ITP: opensaml -- C++ library for Security Assertion Markup Language

[Russ Allbery]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Russ Allbery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: opensaml
  Version : 1.1a
  Upstream Author : Internet2
* URL : http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/downloads/
* License : Apache 2.0
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : C++ library for Security Assertion Markup Language

OpenSAML is a set of open source toolkit for implementing the SAML 1.0
and 1.1 specifications.  SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an
XML-based framework for communicating user authentication, entitlement,
and attribute information.  SAML allows entities to make assertions
regarding the identity, attributes, and entitlements of a subject (an
entity that is often a human user) to other entities, such as a partner
organization or another application.

This library is one of the prerequisites for Shibboleth.

Note that RSA Security holds patents they claim cover material in the
OpenSAML 1.0 and 1.1 specifications but has filed a public convenant that
it will not assert any patent claims against OpenSAML implementations.
See  for that
statement, which will also be included in the debian/copyright file of the
package.

It's amazing how you don't notice these things until you post them
publicly.  That will be "OpenSAML is an open source toolkit" in the
uploaded package.

Bug#388353: ITP: linuxfirmwarekit -- Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit

[Aníbal Monsalve Salazar]

Package: wnpp

  Description : Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit

  Date:   Wed, 13 Sep 2006 22:33:58 +0200
  From: Arjan van de Ven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
  Subject: [announce] Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit

  The Intel Open Source Technology Center is pleased to announce the
  availability of the first release of the Linux*-ready Firmware Developer Kit.

  What it is

  The Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit is an open source tool to test how
  well Linux works together with the firmware (BIOS) of your machine. The kit
  consists of a bootable CD that runs a series of tests and then presents the
  results on the screen for interactive inspection. The tests all check an
  aspect of the firmware that Linux uses or depends on for optimal operation.

  Who it is for

  The primary target for the kit is firmware development and test teams at
  companies that produce their own system BIOS. With this kit, we
  provide these teams a tool that is easy to learn and use to do a basic set
  of Linux-related sanity checks on the firmware code during the various phases
  of the development cycle.

  In addition, we hope this tool is useful for kernel developers and
  Linux distributors in diagnosing bug reports when there is a suspicion of a
  bad interaction between Linux and the firmware.

  Participate

  We welcome all participation in this open source project. Feedback, bug
  reports, code contributions, and suggestions for new tests are welcomed.
  We anticipate the kernel development community helping this tool become
  even more useful by giving us feedback on those tests which are needed
  the most.

  More information and download

  For more information about this open source project and how to download
  the tool, visit our project Web site at:

Mass bug filing for debc onf "abuse" by using low|medium priority debconf notes

[Christian Perrier]

As explained in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/09/msg00438.html, I plan a
mass bug filing for packages using debconf "notes" templates and
display them at low or medium priorities.

The debconf-devel(7) manpage makes it clear that the "note" type should
be used only for important notes that the user really should see.

On the other hand, the "low" priority is meant for very trivial items
that have defaults that will work in the vast majority of
cases. "Medium" are for normal items that have reasonable defaults.

In short, a note should only be used for IMPORTANT stuff, so actually
all debconf notes should be priority highor should not exist.

The discussion showed a possible exception for notes mentioning the
creation of device files as per a policy requirement. These will be
excluded from the MBF.

As the discussion did not show any other strong opposition to the
proposal, I will soon launch the mass bug filing campaign. The bug
reports will suggest to either move these notes to README.Debian or
NEWS.Debian if it is not critical to display them to users. For other
items, it will suggest to either use the "error" type of debconf
templates or raise the priority as very last alternative.

These bugs will be usertagged "useless_notes" (unless someone finds
something more politically correct) by
[EMAIL PROTECTED] They could later be grouped into a "no
more useless notes" metabug if the "debian-i18n" pseudo-package is
accepted (#388212).
