Bug#405896: ITP: keepassx -- light-weight and easy-to-use password manager

[Reinhard Tartler]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Reinhard Tartler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: keepassx
  Version : 0.2.2
  Upstream Author : Tarek Saidi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://keepassx.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : light-weight and easy-to-use password manager

KeePassX is an application for people with extremly high demands on
secure personal data management. It has a light interface and is cross
platform. 
.
KeePassX saves many different information e.g. user names, passwords,
urls, attachemts and comments in one single database. For a better
management user-defined titles and icons can be specified for each
single entry. Furthermore the entries are sorted in groups, which are
customizable as well. The integrated search function allows to search in
a single group or the complete database.
.
KeePassX offers a little utility for secure password generation. The
password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use.
Especially someone who generates passwords frequently will appreciate
this feature.
.
The complete database is always encrypted either with AES (alias
Rijndael) or Twofish encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Therefore
the saved information can be considered as quite safe. KeePassX uses a
database format that is compatibel with KeePass Password Safe. This
makes the use of that application even more favourable.

That sounds reasonable.  Just as long as it doesn't automatically start the 
RAID.  For a "recovery" situation it is not unreasonable to expect that the 
disk with the important one is the disk with the oldest RAID serial number...

Other than the partition type, there's no way to do this, and
setting the partition type is not always desirable.

Anyway, check out /usr/share/mdadm/startall, which I hope to migrate
to the udeb after etch. Then you can just call the script and have
all arrays assembled.

You basicly have to start the software raid configuration tool, and then
press finish.  After that it will see the drives.  I've filed a bug
about this some time ago:

Great to know that later but please think about the first user
impression. This script needs to be documented well and/or be in the
path with a sane name so it could easily be found.

I see that the source for the boot-floppies used in woody is now on 
archive.debian.org
along with woody, at the location 
http://archive.debian.org/pool/main/b/boot-floppies/

Very cool.  Thank you very much!

You also caught up on over a hundred RM bugs in extraordinary time.
*AND* fixed ancient priorities bugs.  I'm extremely impressed.
Credit where credit is due; nearly all the "easy" longstanding bugs were fixed
in a very short amount of time, and the rest had explanations of the problems
added to the bug trail, which is *superb*.

Thanks Ryan Murray et al!

Bug#405961: ITP: emdebian-tools -- emdebian crossbuilding tool set

[Neil Williams]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Neil Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: emdebian-tools
  Version : 0.0.2
  Upstream Author : Neil Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://buildd.emdebian.org/repos/tools/em_make/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : emdebian crossbuilding tool set

 A collection of scripts to ease cross-building Debian packages for
 Emdebian, reducing package size, separating translations into
 individual files and handling dependencies.
 .
 emsetup : Check your system for cross-build support and determine some
 defaults for other emdebian-tools scripts. Run this first, using the 
 simulate option to see what changes may be needed.
 .
 emchain : Toolchain builder for cross compiling. If a pre-built
 toolchain is not found or not available, emchain can build a custom 
 toolchain for your needs using the current Debian version of gcc.
 .
 em_make : Emdebianise a Debian package. Creates suitable changelog
 entries, omits certain debhelper scripts from debian/rules and 
 maintains a patchset for emdebian. Removes all documentation and 
 udeb packages from debian/control.
 .
 emlocale : Moves all translations out of the Debian package(s) and into
 individual locale packages, allowing the embedded user to only install
 the translations that are relevant to that system. First run is via
 em_make, subsequent runs update the list of available translation 
 packages.
 .
 emdebuild : Emdebian version of debuild that handles cross-building the
 emdebianised tree. Requires a suitable cross-building toolchain to be
 installed for the requested architecture, e.g. gcc-4.1-arm-linux-gnu,
 available from the emdebian tools repository via emsetup or built for
 your particular configuration using emchain.

I've had to switch between ftp.debian.org, ftp.us.debian.org,
ftp.au.debian.org, mirror.linux.org.au, ftp.uk.debian.org, because
I've had problems with all of them at some point or another.

That's why I have a local CNAME debian.debian.zugschlus.de which I try
to have pointing to a working germany-based mirror most of the time.
Saves me from updating all clients in case of a mirror failure.

Hi Florian,
The reason there needed to be 'non-us' was because there were
political/legal problems that did not allow Debian to put them in the
desired place, main. So (unless this is incorrect) I would assume that
those packages were put into 'main', now that the reason is gone.

As said above, I'd expect them to be in archive.debian.org under 'main'.

Debian is not updating packages in Woody, its now oldstable. Debian now
has support for Sarge and will still support Sarge when Etch is released
but when Lenny is near release Sarge will stop being supported like
Woody is now (this is based upon a generalized 1 year support).
-
now:
-
Supported : Sarge(stable), Etch(testing)
Not supported: bo, hamm, potato, woody(oldstable)
-
after Etch is released:
-
Supported : Sarge(oldstable), Etch(stable),
Not supported: bo, hamm, potato, woody
-
Shortly before Lenny is released:
-
Supported : Etch(oldstable), Lenny(stable)
Not supported: bo, hamm, potato, woody, Sarge

I think they would go to main.
Debian now uses 'pool' for packages, this is what makes me think this.

i'd say it's a bug that should be reported against kernel-package, and
maybe cloned to the relevant linux-modules packages for the sake of
documenting it.  really i don't see any reason why the packages in
question should ship the files at all, if they're going to be updated

Why are you presuming to tell someone who's been a Debian developer since
2000 about the reasons for non-US's existence?

If you made fewer assumptions, you might be wrong less.

Florian asked whether and where the woody packages for non-US and
security.d.o were being archived, he didn't ask for a primer on Debian's
support cycle.  If you don't actually know the answer to the question being
asked (or, apparently, understand the question at all), kindly spare us the
experience of you admiring the sound of your own voice.

And I say you are wrong about that.

kernel-package takes great care not to include modules.dep
 amongst the files included in the reported md5sums.

There have been problems reported in the past when the module
 dependencies were not generated at install time, or did not get into
 the init ram disk correctly -- so they are shipped in a defensive
 programming measure. Since we do not ship the md5sum of these files,
 this is not a problem.

It's not always possible on other architectures.  What do you do on a platform 
that supports the BSD disk label and has no type number?

Are there any platforms other than i386, AMD64, and IA64 that support the 
partition type number?

It would be nice if we had this in busybox.  Not only would it be good for the 
situation we are discussing, but it would also allow reducing the size of the 
initramfs on a system that has root on a RAID-1.

Is there any technical reason why busybox could not have such functionality?  
If not I'll file a bug report (and I'll write the code if I ever have spare 
time).
