I confirm, but I'd expect that the default behavior get changed and that
the extension installs this (mis/bad)feature.

Bug#702945: ITP: sanewall -- Easy to use but powerful iptables stateful firewall

[Jerome Benoit]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Jerome Benoit 

* Package name: sanewall
  Version : 0.9.5
  Upstream Author : Phil Whineray 
* URL : http://www.sanewall.org
* License : GPL-2
  Programming Lang: bash
  Description : Easy to use but powerful iptables stateful firewall

Generates firewalls using an extremely simple but powerful
configuration language, enabling you to design any kind of local
or routing stateful packet filtering firewall with ease.

Sanewall is a fork of FireHOL (http://firehol.sourceforge.net/) which
was made when development of that project stalled. All existing FireHOL
definitions should be compatible with sanewall.

And it's even installed and enabled by default.

Bug#702957: ITP: libzmq-constants-perl -- Perl module that provides libzmq constants

[Alessandro Ghedini]

Package: wnpp
Owner: Alessandro Ghedini

* Package name: libzmq-constants-perl
  Version : 1.03

  Description : Perl module that provides libzmq constants

ØMQ is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features
traditionally provided by specialised messaging middleware products.

ØMQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple
messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to
multiple transport protocols and more.

ZMQ::Constants provides the constants exported by libzmq to Perl code.

I’d appreciate if people could stop spreading bullshit about things they
don’t know.

 1. The default GNOME desktop in Debian features shutdown. End of
story. This horse has been dead for so long that not even the
Lady could do anything for him. 
 2. If you just actually read the bug report you would understand
that this is probably unrelated.

Re: git dangerous operations on alioth

anonssh can help lower the chance of that:

(this link is wrapped; GMane would not allow me to post otherwise,
just remove the newline after the question mark)

https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?
p=evolvis-platfrm/anonssh.git

It does allow sftp though… both by design.

(This version does SFTP, git and svn; the one in MirBSD does cvs and rsync;
extending it is pretty easy.)

SFTP and rsync can, arguably, remove a repository. With malintent.
But then, it’s a #ifdef…

Maybe permit rsync only for some anonymous user, so only receiving but
not writing is enabled… you can easily install varying anonssh flavours
(and put them into the allowed shells table in the gforge database).

Checking license compatibilty of (indirect) rdepends

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

I have tried in the past to find out what would break in Debian if we
used a GnuTLS library which was licensed LGPLv3+ instead of LGPLv2.1+. I
started going through packages (build-)depending on libgnutls-dev and
reading their debian/copyright, checking for incompatible licenses.

However after that there are still the indirect dependencies to
consider, and which of these acually include a binary that ends up
being dynamically linked to gnutls at runtime.

Do we have something better than manual checking? (I do not think so,
as the required info is not necessarily part of DEP-5 copyright files,
but would welcome a positive surprise.)

thanks, cu Andreas

I don't know of any tools.  However, I will mention that one of the
immediate problems that we know we'll have is with OpenLDAP, which links
with GnuTLS.  OpenLDAP's license doesn't care, but the LDAP libraries in
turn are pulled into just about everything, most notably including PAM and
NSS modules.  (Where effective license boundaries are in that sort of
setup, if anywhere, is, of course, hotly debated.)

Bug#702990: ITP: vizigrep -- Graphical file contents search tool using regular expressions

[Jason J. Herne]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Jason J. Herne" 

* Package name: vizigrep
  Version : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Jason J. Herne 
* URL : https://github.com/hernejj/vizigrep
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Graphical file contents search tool using regular 
expressions

 Vizigrep is a graphical user interface for performing fast and powerful
 searches inside a group of files.  Simply tell Vizigrep which folder you want
 to search and what you want to search for and it will quickly find all
 occurrences of your search string within the files and folders you have
 selected.  The search results are annotated to show you the lines containing
 your search term and color coding is used to help you quickly lock your eyes on
 to what you are searching for. If simple search strings are not powerful enough
 Vizigrep also understands regular expressions.

Bug#702995: ITP: zegrapher -- plotting mathematical functions and sequences

[Georges Khaznadar]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Georges Khaznadar 

* Package name: zegrapher
  Version : 2.0
  Upstream Author : Adel Kara Slimane 
* URL : http://zegrapher.com/
* License :  GPL-3
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : plotting mathematical functions and sequences
  ZeGrapheris developed with the idea that it must be as easy to use as
  possible, suitable for high school students.
  Here are features offered by Zegrapher:
  .
  * Visualize up to six functions simultaneously. All the usual functions
 can be called, They're all written on the virtual keyboard of the
program. The name of these must be followed by an open parenthesis.
Ex : cos(3x), sqrt(x) and not cos 3x or sqrt x. On a given function,
 others can be called, and so it's possible to associate or compose
 functions.
  * Numerical sequence plotting, they can be defined by recurrent relation,
or explicitly. On the recurrent definition, you can put as much first
values as you need to.
  * Parametric equation plotting, with the possibility to use a second
   parameter, which is "k". The curves can be animated, with adjustable
smoothness (frame rate) and speed (ms per step).
  * Parametric function and sequence plotting. The parameter to use is "k",
once you put it on an function's expression, new widgets will appear
on which you'll enter the range and the step of "k". You can also
choose two colors and each curve would take a color between to two.
