Modifying /etc/nsswitch.conf in Debian Packages
Hi, I'm currently working on packaging Rainbow<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow>, an implementation of the Bitfrost <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Bitfrost> security spesification. Rainbow runs user-level desktop applications with the same level of resource isolation already used with a variety of system daemons, giving each application instance its own UID, GID, and persistent storage directory. In order to function, Rainbow requires a NSS module, libnss-rainbow, to be installed and enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf. >From what I can tell (as seen on bug 388864<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=388864> ), libnss-mdns modifies /etc/nsswitch.conf directly as part of its postinst. I thought this wasn't allowed by Debian policy, but if I'm misunderstanding I'm more than happy to adopt their solution. On Ubuntu AuthClientConfig <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AuthClientConfig> seems to serve a similar purpose. Assuming the above workaround was not acceptable, would porting ACC to Debian and using that hook in my package be so? Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to this list. -- Luke Faraone http://luke.faraone.cc

If you install with a low debconf priority, or use preseeding, you can set it on install. IIRC, Ubuntu even asks if you want to write the bootloader at the default debconf priorities when using the alternative CD.

Debian should work for the common case by default. I shouldn't install Debian on a commodity PC, then have it break on reboot because I forgot to install the bootloader and the installer didn't tell me about that People in special situations (dual booting, odd bootloader setup, etc) can set debconf to prompt on things with a lower priority to ensure the system is set up as desired. -- Luke Faraone;; Debian & Ubuntu Developer; Sugar Labs, Systems lfaraone on irc.[freenode,oftc].net -- http://luke.faraone.cc PGP fprint: 5189 2A7D 16D0 49BB 046B DC77 9732 5DD8 F9FD D506 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Each mahimahi tool spawns a lightweight container, generally connected to the outside via a synthetic network device that observes packets in transit or emulates a desired behavior. The tools are composable so that a series of emulated network effects can be chained together, with mahimahi containers nested inside each other. Each tool takes an optional command to execute, so it is possible to create a series of nested containers with one command line -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This also is the case with snapd, which uses `/snap` in all other distributions. We currently override it, but the issue was brought up in a bug report.[1] I think the same arguments apply to both Nix and snapd; but perhaps two is not yet numerous enough to warrant documenting in policy.

Feel free to redirect this to an appropriate list, but perhaps redirecting non-`apt` user agents is worthwhile? E.g. something like the solution detailed[1] for nginx. (I'm sure there's something easier for Apache).

Please don't make this harder. +100 to this. Even at a previous life in a fast-moving startup, I convinced the rest of engineering that "if you want to use it, and it isn't in Debian, you get to package it first". (aside, also had the advantage of convincing people to use more commonly-used packages, rather than some random fork of a fork they found one day…) Cheers, Luke Faraone

Bug#800897: ITP: zxcvbn.js -- JavaScript password strength estimator
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Luke Faraone * Package name: zxcvbn.js Version : 3.5.0 Upstream Author : Dan Wheeler * URL : https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn * License : Expat Programming Lang: JavaScript Description : JavaScript password strength estimator zxcvbn is a password strength estimator inspired by password crackers. Through pattern matching and conservative entropy calculations, it recognizes and weighs 10k common passwords, common names and surnames according to US census data, popular English words, and other common patterns like dates, repeats (aaa), sequences (abcd), keyboard patterns (qwertyuiop), and l33t speak. Motiviation for the design can be found detailed at: <http://tech.dropbox.com/?p=165> zxcvbn detects and supports CommonJS (node, browserify) and AMD (RequireJS). In the absence of those, it adds a single function zxcvbn() to the global namespace. NB: This is my first time packaging a JavaScript/AMD/Node package, so I will probably be reaching out to the Debian JS maintainers for help :)
Bug#803727: ITP: node-handlebars -- semantic templatating engine
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Luke Faraone * Package name: node-handlebars Version : 4.0.4 Upstream Author : Yehuda Katz * URL : http://www.handlebarsjs.com/ * License : Expat Programming Lang: JavaScript Description : semantic templating engine Handlebars templates look like regular HTML, with embedded handlebars expressions. It has a syntax similar to the Mustache templating language. . This package contains the runtime for NodeJS. I realise there are existing ``libjs-handlebars`` and ``libjs-handlebars.runtime`` packages in the archive. They come from ``ruby-handlebars-assets``, which I assume embeds its own copy. This will not conflict with that package, but to reduce archive duplication I'll coordinate with the Ruby team and that package's maintainer.
NEW review & revision process (or lack thereof) (Re: Growing new FTP-masters (Re: Bits from DPL))
On 06/03/2025 04:54, Matthias Urlichs wrote: Finally, a question -- as you don't seem to document the issues you have with long term packages in their ITP bug, where *do* you document them? There is no built-in issue tracking in `dak`. The "notes" function is only available while the package is in NEW. They must be removed before a package is ACCEPTed or REJECTed. The sole documentation is in the FTP team members' and maintainer's email inboxes. There is no functionality to notify a processing FTP team member when a package is reuploaded. There is no indication in `dak process-new` that a package has been previously uploaded or a systematic way to check to make sure such feedback is addressed. We discard the source tarballs and changes files on REJECT so there is nothing to `debdiff`. This partially happens for legal reasons: if we determine a package is not suitable for the archive then we may no longer have the legal right to retain it on ftp-master. Unless one reads all FTP team mail, unless a maintainer CCes you on a "thanks, reuploaded" mail you are liable to miss such a fact. The rationale given when I joined as ftpassistant (c. 2012) for not publicising decisions e.g. in the ITP was to avoid publishing potentially harshly-worded and embarassing reviews to maintainers in public (like pointing out that you missed a fairly obvious license declaration, incompatibility, or packaging step). I am welcome to feedback from the project as to whether this outweighs the benefit to having past decisions available for public consultation. As Bradley Kuhn mentioned in his DebConf16 talk "The Supreme Court of DFSG-Free?"[1], with rare exception ftpteam does not publish "advisory opinions" nor is there a way to reason about whether a package meets the DFSG other than to observe whether it is present in the archive. To me the status quo seems sub-optimal for a variety of reasons. For a further peak behind the ftpmaster curtain I recommend my DebConf24 talk "Meet the ftpteam" which has a walkthrough of the (quite old-school, "two SSH sessions and tmux") process of NEW package review. (video[2], etherpad[3]) There's certainly space for better tooling.
