Bug#753095: RFH: vagrant

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

Would somebody be interested in helping me maintaining vagrant package
in debian.

My knowledge of ruby is unfortunately to low to continue working on it
especially with the latest versions where the code used to load the
plugins has heavily changed.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville

Description-en: Tool for building and distributing virtualized development 
environments
 This package provides the tools to create and configure lightweight,
 reproducible, and portable virtual environments.
 .
 Vagrant uses Oracle’s VirtualBox to create its virtual machines and then
 uses Chef or Puppet to provision them.

You're not seriously suggesting dpkg would "sneak" a package on your 
system behind your back, do you?

Which is why the conflicting package solution is suboptimal, but a pin 
works:

# LANG=C aptitude install bad-package
No candidate version found for bad-package
No candidate version found for bad-package
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 32 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.

Kind regards,

Re: multiarch: arch dependent header file path choice

The correct answer depends:

(a) what users are meant to #include (e.g.  vs. )

(b) whether users are meant to be able to #include the header from the
default include path, or whether they are meant to have to use
pkg-config or similar to select one of potentially several incompatible
versions 

(1) is correct if you are meant to include  without pkg-config.

(2) is correct if you are meant to include  without
pkg-config, or  with -I.../ provided by pkg-config.

(3) is correct if your upstream cares about "lib64"-style bi-arch
systems, and is something of a workaround for Debian-style multiarch
being relatively new. If "lib64" distributions like Fedora had always
had Debian-style multiarch, perhaps it would be
/usr/include//glib-2.0/glibconfig.h; but Debian and its
derivatives are the only distros where /usr/include/ exists,
and upstreams want a solution that works everywhere.

I conjecture that there are no significant upstreams that care about
multiarch on Debian, but not biarch on Fedora. :-)

FYI, GLib's "build-time API" is that you use the glib-2.0 pkg-config
module, which adds /usr/lib//glib-2.0/include to the search
path; its upstream maintainers would consider anything involving
"#include <.../glib-2.0/...>" to be incorrect.

gsize is always meant to be the same size as size_t (as checked by
configure). GLib has a "no system headers included in our headers"
policy to help its portability to systems with non-ISO or non-POSIX
headers, so it needs configure checks for gint32 (= int32_t) etc.
anyway. size_t doesn't need a header on ISO C systems, but I think GLib
might support (or once have supported) environments where size_t doesn't
exist and sizeof() returns unsigned or something.

Not in glibc-based systems, those appear to have been removed before
version 2.2 (upstream commit 8d6f1731fcd082e4f744ba9cb4bde4be7c08f1b3).

Actually, I guess it might not have been obvious, but with the change
I mentioned in [C], it should be possible to disable the strong variant
bug still keep the normal stack-ptorector enabled.

  [C] 

Something like:

  DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=-stackprotectorstrong

(With the actual feature name sill open for minor tweaks.) Disabling
stackprotector will disable both features. But, yeah the best fix going
forward is to make the package build with gcc >= 4.9.

I believe he's only suggesting that having a package installed with a
Conflict: is harder to break (even by mistake) than just some apt
preferences, and that it's better to lock things at the level of dpkg
than at the level of apt, aptitude, deslect, synaptic or whatever. I by
the way agree.

I don't know where you've found the "dpkg would sneak" thing...
