I agree.

With python2 being removed, we will have a lot of
"src:python-foo" providing only a "bin:python3-foo"
so this confusion will be even more a problem...
(will we ever rename also source packages now that python2 is going to be 
removed?)

Seems fine to me that projects targeting python library namespaces use 
"python-" prefix for source packages, indicating the _family_ of 
Pythonic namespaces.

Bug#943411: ITP: cado -- Capability Ambient DO

[Mattia Biondi - mattia.bion...@studio.unibo.it]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mattia Biondi 

* Package name: cado
  Section : admin
  Version : 0.9.2
  Upstream Author : Davide Berardi, Renzo Davoli - VirtualSquare/University of
Bologna
* URL : http://wiki.virtualsquare.org
* License : GPL-2+
* Vcs : https://github.com/rd235/cado
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Capability Ambient DO

Cado permits the delegation of capabilities to users. Cado is a capability
based sudo. Sudo allows authorized users to run programs as root (or as
another user), cado permits authorized users to run programs with specific
(ambient) capabilities. Cado is more selective than sudo, users can be
authorized to have only specific capabilities (and not others).

I will be the maintainer of the package.

Fully agreed. It's also hard for users to pinpoint the correct binary
package and they tend to get stale with changes to binary names anyway
(soname changes to libs etc.)

Beware of #721793, though I'm guessing the reportbug maintainer is aware 
that 'Source: ' doesn't do what one might expect ;)

Kind regards,

Indeed, that's a bug.  Thank you!  The automated conversion to
reStructuredText wasn't perfect, and we missed a few issues like this.

Now fixed for the next release.

doxygen 1.8.16 is ready for unstable, 10+ packages will FTBFS on amd64

[Paolo Greppi]

Hi,

ATM doxygen is stuck at 1.8.13 because during the freeze 1.8.15 caused ~20 
FTBFS and it was decided to keep it out of buster.
Many issues were related to latex + tabu, now upstream has released 1.8.16 and
they claim they fixed the tabu issues:
https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/issues/6769#issuecomment-519620678

A few weeks ago I have uploaded doxygen 1.8.16-1~exp3 to experimental.
I have also run a ratt job (https://github.com/debian/ratt) on amd64.
Of 722 reverse build dependencies:
- 86 failed the build
- of those 70 also fail without the new doxygen (could be proper FTBFS or
something with my setup like insufficient memory, timeout etc).
- the remaining 16 failures could be related to the new doxygen version.

2 are false positives (did not fail when manually rebuilt):
- libsigrok
- libtrace3

These 4:
- apophenia
- libemf
- libgnomecanvasmm2.6
- siscone
failed because of https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/issues/7190
for that I included the patch from upstream here: 
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/doxygen/blob/master/debian/patches/blank-file-patterns.diff

The 10 remaining packages all fail with latex-related errors.
Unfortunately I know nothing about latex so I cant' help with those.
But I filed bugs or updated the existing open bug:
- ccfits, "Overfull \hbox" latex error, see: https://bugs.debian.org/943423
- fltk1.3, "! Undefined control sequence." latex error, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/943426
- frobby, LaTeX Error: File `listofitems.sty' not found, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/921300
- lapack, easy to fix by just removing one line from d/rules, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/943431
- librostlab, LaTeX Error: File `listofitems.sty' not found, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/943420
- libstxxl, LaTeX Error: File `listofitems.sty' not found, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/921298
- openms, "! Undefined control sequence." latex error, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/943450
- ppl, "! Undefined control sequence." latex error, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/943451
- qevercloud, LaTeX Error: File `listofitems.sty' not found, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/921297
- sdformat, LaTeX Error: File `listofitems.sty' not found, see: 
https://bugs.debian.org/943421

In a couple of weeks I'll upload to unstable, so we'll see what happens on 
non-amd64 archs.
I hope in the meantime we can address the 10 packages we already know will fail 
on amd64.

Bug#943460: ITP: dnsenum -- tool to enumerate domain DNS information

[Joao Eriberto Mota Filho]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Joao Eriberto Mota Filho 

* Package name: dnsenum
  Version : 1.3.0
  Upstream Author : Network Silence 
* URL : https://github.com/SparrowOchon/dnsenum2
* License : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : tool to enumerate domain DNS information

 Dnsenum is a multithreaded perl script to enumerate DNS information of a
 domain and to discover non-contiguous ip blocks. The main purpose of Dnsenum
 is to gather as much information as possible about a domain. The program
 currently performs the following operations:
 .
   1) Get the host's addresses (A record).
   2) Get the namservers (threaded).
   3) Get the MX record (threaded).
   4) Perform axfr queries on nameservers and get BIND versions(threaded).
   5) Get extra names and subdomains via google scraping (google query =
  "allinurl: -www site:domain").
   6) Brute force subdomains from file, can also perform recursion on subdomain
  that have NS records (all threaded).
   7) Calculate C class domain network ranges and perform whois queries on them
  (threaded).
   8) Perform reverse lookups on netranges (C class or/and whois netranges)
  (threaded).
   9) Write to domain_ips.txt file ip-blocks.
 .
 This program is useful for pentesters, ethical hackers and forensics experts.
 It also can be used for security tests.


I will maintain this package inside Debian Security Tools Packaging Team.
