Bug#411626: ITP: libauthen-passphrase-perl -- Authen::Passphrase from CPAN - module encapsulating hashed passwords/passphrases as objects

An object of this type is a passphrase recogniser: its job is to recognise whether an offered passphrase is the right one. For security, such passphrase recognisers usually do not themselves know the passphrase they are looking for; they can merely recognise it when they see it. There are many schemes in use to achieve this effect, and the intent of this class is to provide a consistent interface to them all, hiding the details. The CPAN package Authen::Passphrase contains implementations of several specific passphrase schemes in addition to the base class. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Description : Crypt::Eksblowfish from CPAN - Eksblowfish block cipher
An object of this type encapsulates a keyed instance of the Eksblowfish block
cipher, ready to encrypt and decrypt.
Eksblowfish is a variant of the Blowfish cipher, modified to make the key setup
very expensive. ("Eks" stands for "expensive key schedule".) This doesn't make
it significantly cryptographically stronger, but is intended to hinder
brute-force attacks. It also makes it unsuitable for any application requiring
key agility. It was designed by Niels Provos and David Mazieres for password
hashing in OpenBSD. See Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt for the hash algorithm.
Eksblowfish is a parameterised (family-keyed) cipher. It takes a cost parameter
that controls how expensive the key scheduling is. It also takes a family key,
known as the "salt". Cost and salt parameters together define a cipher family.
Within each family, a key determines an encryption function in the usual way.
See Crypt::Eksblowfish::Family for a way to encapsulate an Eksblowfish cipher
family.

Well, one example if it is in dpkg.postinst/postrm. :-) Manoj uses switch constructs a lot, including in debian-policy.postinst, and his are especially fully commented so I suspect are used as a base by a fair number of other developers. ucf contains an examples/postinst that some developers are probably using.

Do the words "drive-by download" mean anything to you? What you want is universally bad and I consider it a very nice feature that Firefox/Debian do not allow that sort of thing to happen.

gnucash and etch freeze
One of the unfortunate side-effects of a freeze is that it becomes very hard to get necessary changes into etch when an upstream package is a more rapidly moving target. In the four months since gnucash 2.0.2 was released, much development has happened, and upstream has released several more versions. The general reliability of the program is much improved, with a thousand small annoyances and crashes fixed. I am told also that some of these fixes include security-related issues (most importantly, vulnerabilities through /tmp). Now I simply do not have the time to go through the changelog, pick out changes that I think should be in etch and do them. If the release team shrugs and says, well, ok, go ahead and upload the new version and we'll consider it as-is for etch, that would be great, but my understanding is that this is contrary to the release policy. Is my understanding correct? What is therefore needed, is someone to help with the triage of the changes which have been made so that a more careful etch-targeted upload can be made with the necessary changes, complete with documentation. If anyone is willing to help out in this way, please let me know. Thanks. Thomas signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Packaging a Python module built with autoconf using CDBS
Hi, I'm trying to add a python module package for a library [1]. The python module is built and installed via autoconf/make during the build process. It is all simple enough, except when it comes to following policy to package it. AFAICS, CDBS helpers are setup assuming that you use the Python distutils to build, and automagically rebuild a few times for different versions. I'm having trouble figuring out how to even start to coax CDBS to build things correctly for this package. Can anyone help, or suggest another package that has already solved this problem which I can work from?

In that case you can and should distinguish between the mirror operator in their role as user and in their role as distributor. No conflict. pgpMTnbmm8XLz.pgp Description: PGP signature
