For one, auric was not affected by the recent attack to Debian machines, so there really isn't any provocation that would give restricting auric a sense. As we could see, it obviously was easy to check the files on auric for integrity (some hours after compromise we were sure that nothing bad happened). Additionally, we would be able to track changes to the archive quickly as rsync logs on remote machines will show conspicuous entries (if the atacker started a mirror push; if he didn't, checking against a "known-to-be-good-source" would be enough). I generally see the following problems with the proposal made by James Troup: 1) A "mirror" of auric would certainly be good; however, for one, you would need to find a sponsor for yet another (probably quite expensive) box (and housing for it, somebody who pays the monthly bill, someone who administers the new box, somebody who controls it for security related things ...). Additionally, mirroring auric probably could not be done "simultaneously" so that people who have to rely on the data from the "mirror"-auric would have outdated data all the time. 2 (very subjective, though)) I have no idea why, but the speed i get when uploading to auric is significantly lower than the speed I get when uploading to gluck. This made me end up with uploading packages to gluck and downloading them from auric locally to get them into the archive (as this was the much faster solution) -- that just wouldn't be possible anymore once auric is restricted on the long term. 3) Mirroring auric on a box that is accessible by all developers will somehow rule out the possibility to use the mirror as "fallback" if auric has problems itself (as then we're down to exactly the same problem we have if we just have the unrestricted auric itself all the time -- the possibility of breakins into a very critical point of the Debian infrastructure) I understand the ongoing efforts to make the Debian development boxes more secure and I appreciate them as they will probably help to save our users better from security issues related to the Debian machines. However, I think that we should not burden our own work that hard in the name of security. -- .''`.

Hello Martin and Robert, can you please inform the list and me about the current status of the mICQ code audit you two wanted to do? It's been a while and I didn't hear anything further from you since then. However, since it is my principle to finish the things I've started, i'm writing this mail now. I'd be happy if I could get an answer. -- .''`.

Overtaking ircd?
Hi all, since the 'ircd'-package is broken in various ways and last MU for it was in December 1999, i plan to overtake to the package. I've already made new packages available on http://gidentd.neveragain.de/debian/ircd. Are there any doubts against this plan? If not, my sponsor will upload them onto incoming.debian.org very soon to replace the old package before woody release. Since i'm not subscribed to debian-devel@, CC: me please. -- *-* -+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+-+ | .''`. | Martin Loschwitz --- hobbit.NeverAgain.DE | | : :' : + <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> + | `. `'` + Viersen / Germany --- www: http://www.madkiss.de/ + | `-| Use Debian GNU/Linux --- http://www.debian.org| *-* -+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+-+ pgpwCjNW9GByG.pgp Description: PGP signature
