• Valerie improved the SQL code so that the scheduler job again runs within minutes. She did the same to the job updating the notes about known issues, though this job still runs 12min and not 2min as it used to do
• Thanks to a patch from Chris, which was improved by dkg and h01ger after discussions on our list, the .buildinfo files submitted to buildinfo.debian.net are now GPG signed by our build nodes.

• Holger fixed the NetBSD and coreboot jobs which were broken due to work on the LEDE+OpenWRT jobs.
• As squid on jessie/i386 (but not on jessie/amd64) crashes frequently, we have have monitoring for this and Holger fixed a subtile bug there.

• Daniel Shahaf:
  • json: detect order-only differences and print them nicely
• Mattia Rizzolo:
  • tests: skip test using a format accepted by older pytest

• [DLA 645-1] bind9 security update
• [DLA 646-1] zendframework security update

• Made a large number of improvements to travis.debian.net, my hosted service for projects that host their Debian packaging on GitHub to use the Travis CI continuous integration platform to test builds on every code change:
  • Enabled the use of Git submodules. Thanks to @unera & @hosiet. (#30)
  • Managed a contribution from @xhaakon to allow adding an extra repository for custom dependencies. (#17)
  • Fixed an issue where builds did not work under Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu Trusty due to a call to dpkg-buildpackage --show-field. (#28)
  • Fixed an issue where TRAVIS_DEBIAN_EXTRA_REPOSITORY was accidentally required. (#27)
  • Made a number of miscellaneous cosmetic improvements. (f7e5b080 & 037de91cc, etc.)
• Submitted a pull request to Alabaster, the default theme for the Python Sphinx documentation system, to ensure that "extra navigation links" are rendered reproducibly. (#90)
• Improved my Chrome extension for the FastMail web interface:
  • Managed a pull request from @jlerner to add an optional confirmation dialogue before sending any message. (#10)
  • Added an optional Ctrl+Enter alias for Alt+Enter to limit searches to the current folder; the latter shortcut is already mapped by my window manager. (d691b07)
  • Various cosmetic changes to the options page. (7b95e887 & 833ff0fe)
• Submitted two pull requests to mypy, an experimental static type checker for Python:
  • Ensure that the output of --usage is reproducible. (#2234)
  • Update the --usage output to match the now-reproducible output. (#2235)
• Updated django-slack, my library to easily post messages to the Slack group-messaging utility:
  • Merged a feature from @lvpython to add an option to post the message as the authenticated user rather than the specified one. (#59)
  • Merged a documentation update from @ataylor32 regarding the new method of generating access tokens. (#58)
• Made a number of cosmetic improvements to AptFs, my FUSE-based filesystem that provides a view on unpacked Debian source packages as regular folders.
• Updated the SSL certificate for try.diffoscope.org, a hosted version of the diffoscope in-depth and content-aware diff utility. Continued thanks to Bytemark for sponsoring the hardware.

Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.7 (2016-10-27)

• At the request of CRAN, two documentation instances referring to the Omegehat repository were updated to http://omegahat.net

This post by Dirk Eddelbuettel originated on his Thinking inside the box blog. Please report excessive re-aggregation in third-party for-profit settings.

• There was an interesting discussion on Hacker News about diverse double-compilation that touched on reproducible builds.

• Vagrant Cascadian gave an impromptu talk about reproducible builds at CAT Barcamp on 8th October.
• Holger discussed Reproducible coreboot at coreboot.berlin. Unlike other projects, coreboot doesn't do binary releases because there have been many instances of people taking some incorrect coreboot binary, flashed it and bricked their machines The end idea is that coreboot will simply release .buildinfo files (and still no binaries) instead.

• #840156 filed against lambda-align by Chris Lamb.
• #840140 filed against fastx-toolkit by Chris Lamb.
• #840111 filed against stumpwm by Chris Lamb.

• #840143 filed against mypy by Chris Lamb.
• #839977 filed against apache2 by Daniel Shahaf.
• #839647 filed against dmucs by Reiner Herrmann.

• ghc_captures_build_path_via_tempdir
• dict_ordering_in_python_alabaster_sphinx_theme_extra_nav_links
• pdf_id_varying_due_to_build_path

• Add fix for dict_ordering_in_python_alabaster_sphinx_theme_extra_nav_links toolchain issue.

• Chris Lamb (12)

• The data in reproducible-tracker.json (which is fed to tracker.d.o and DDPO) has been changed to contain data from testing as the build path variations we introduced for unstable are not yet ready for wider consumption. For testing/stretch we recomment to create reproducible packages by rebuilding in the same path. (h01ger)
• Various reproducibility statistics for testing/stretch have been added to the dashboard view. (h01ger)
• The repository comparison page has been improved to only show obsolete packages if they exist (which they currently don't as we have rebuilt everything from the plain Debian repos, except for our modified dpkg due to #138409 and #787980). (h01ger)
• All armhf boards are now using Linux kernels provided by Debian. (vagrant)

1. First, install required packages to get the source code and the browser you need. Signal only work with Chrome/Chromium, as far as I know, so you need to install it.

   apt install git tor chromium
   git clone https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop.git
   

2. Modify the source code using command listed in the the patch block below.
3. Start Signal using the run-signal-app wrapper (for example using pwd /run-signal-app).
4. Click on the 'Register without mobile phone', will in a phone number you can receive calls to the next minute, receive the verification code and enter it into the form field and press 'Register'. Note, the phone number you use will be user Signal username, ie the way others can find you on Signal.
5. You can now use Signal to contact others. Note, new contacts do not show up in the contact list until you restart Signal, and there is no way to assign names to Contacts. There is also no way to create or update chat groups. I suspect this is because the web app do not have a associated contact database.

• Fixed a number of instances in the Django web development framework where methods had mutable defaults arguments such as lists or dictionaries. (#7253)
• Made a large number of improvements to travis.debian.net, my hosted service for projects that host their Debian packaging on GitHub to use the Travis CI continuous integration platform to test builds on every update:
  • Worked with Evgeni Golov to run autopkgtest and autodep8 tests after builds. (#23, #24 & #25)
  • Ensured that all remote branches are created locally so that packages that specify options such as pristine_tar=True in debian/gbp.conf work as expected. (commit)
  • Fixed an issue where checking out other branches did not reliably not work due to Travis cloning the repository with --depth=50. (#21)
  • Updated the documentation after prompting from Valerie Young. (db7238 & 470d24)
• Improved my Chrome extension for the FastMail web interface to collapse whitespace when appending to the subject. (#9)
• Submitted a pull request for the Handbrake video transcoder to make the build reproducible. (#320)
• Updated the configuration for my OpenWRT-based router (a device I use as a range extender and to save tedious reconfiguration of all my wifi devices in new locales) to enter a "fallback" mode if it cannot connect to the client network. This works around a longstanding "wontfix" upstream issue. (diff)
• Updated django-agpl, my reusable Django application to assist in releasing projects under the GNU Affero General Public License:
  • Merged support from defivelo to support Django 1.8. (#1)
  • Improved the code quality & testability throughout the package. (diff)
• Filed in issue in Mailvelope (a browser extension for OpenPGP encryption) to support composing/viewing messages in a fixed-width font. (#422)
• Blogged about how to write your first Lintian check as well as on the progress bar I added to Diffoscope.

Debian

• I attended the Debian Bug Squashing Party (BSP) in Salzburg, Austria where 70+ "release-critical" bugs were fixed. Sincere thanks to Bernd Zeimetz (bzed) for organising and Conova for sponsoring/hosting. The event was covered by the Salzburg Cityguide.

• I attended NixOS user group in London, England.

• Niels Thykier granted me commit access to the Lintian Git repository and I added myself to the debian/copyright there.

• Filed an ITP for the roughtime secure time synchronisation client and server. This is blocked on packaging the Bazel build system. (#838416)

Patches contributed

• Lintian:
  • Tag debian/*.maintscript files that include "maint-script-parameters". (#838195.)
  • Tag initscripts that use /lib/lsb/init-functions without the corresponding dependency on lsb-base. (#838997)
  • Catch false positives in systemd-service-file-missing-install-key check. (#837057)
• rtl-sdr: Correct invocation of rm_conffile
• dh-haskell: Experimental push on scalar is now forbidden
• fortunes-es: Correct reference to $msg_installing_link
• webkit2pdf: FTBFS with dash as /bin/sh
• tj3: Cannot remove 'data/tjp.vim': No such file or directory
• greylistd: Fails to install in testing
• witty: Drop the build dependency on hardening-wrapper
• ruby-em-hiredis: Gem::LoadError: Could not find hiredis
• highlight.js: File iftex.sty' not found
• transmission-remote-gtk: Option release requires an argument

Uploads

• python-django 1:1.10.1-1 New upstream release and ensure that django-admin startproject foo creates files with the correct shebang under Python 3.
• gunicorn:
  • 19.6.0-5 Don't call chown(2) if it would be a no-op to avoid failure under snap.
  • 19.6.0-6 Remove now-obsolete conffiles and logrotate scripts; they should have been removed in 19.6.0-3.
• redis:
  • 3.2.3-2 Call ulimit -n 65536 by default from SysVinit scripts to normalise the behaviour with systemd. I also bumped the Debian package epoch as the "2:" prefix made it look like we are shipping version 2.x. I additionaly backported this upload to Debian Jessie.
  • 3.2.4-1 New upstream release, add missing -ldl for dladdr(3) & add missing dependency on lsb-base.
• python-redis (2.10.5-2) Bump python-hiredis to Suggests to sync with Ubuntu and move to a machine-readable debian/copyright. I also backported this upload to Debian Jessie.
• adminer (4.2.5-3) Move mysql-server dependencies to default-mysql-server. I also backported this upload to Debian Jessie.
• gpsmanshp (1.2.3-5) on behalf of the QA team:
  • Move to "minimal" debhelper style, making the build reproducible. (#777446 & #792991)
  • Reorder linker command options to build with --as-needed (#729726) and add hardening flags.
  • Move to machine-readable copyright file, add missing #DEBHELPER# tokens to postinst and prerm scripts, tidy descriptions & other debian/control fields and other smaller changes.

I sponsored the upload of 5 packages from other developers:

• stressapptest (1.0.6-3) Make the build reproducible. (#831587)
• zeroinstall-injector (2.12-1) Fix FTBFS due to failing tests. (#837226)
• libisofs, libburn & libisoburn (1.4.6-1) New upstream releases.

I also NMU'd:

• cfingerd (1.4.3-3.2) Fix a FTBFS due to lack of "." in Perl's @INC. (#837267)
• dot-forward (0.71-2.1) Make the build reproducible. (#776760)
• 8 packages to remove dependencies on hardening-wrapper and hardening-includes: switchsh, pwauth, grap, libmsn, libevocosm, passwordmaker-cli, srtp & netatalk.
• 12 packages that were using now-unsupported debhelper levels: freetable, alsamixergui, linklint, openjade, python-cddb, dh-kpatches, dsh, jfsuils, lpr, myspell & libxml-dumper-perl.

RC bugs I filed 37 FTBFS bugs against csoundqt, cups-filters, dymo-cups-drivers, easytag, erlang-p1-oauth2, erlang-p1-sqlite3, erlang-p1-xmlrpc, erlang-redis-client, fso-datad, gnome-python-desktop, gnote, gstreamermm-1.0, gtkglextmm, gupnp-dlna, haskell-hmatrix-gsl, jdeb, kryo-serializers, libcmrt, libfso-glib, libmonitoring-livestatus-perl, librasterlite2, network-manager, print-manager, psychtoolbox-3, python-3to2, python-tidylib, recutils, slang2, snd, sugar, tj3, transmission-remote-gtk, vino, webkit2pdf, xml-core, xml-core & xml-core. I additionally filed 2 "important" bugs for packages that access the internet during build against gnupg2 & libgdata.

Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.6 (2016-09-08)

• Support for serializing zero-length objects was added (PR #18 addressing #13)
• S4 objects are natively encoded (also PR #18)
• The vignette based on the JSS paper no longer uses a macro available only with the R-devel version of jss.cls, and hence builds on all R versions

Tag: package-contains-python-coverage-file
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: The package contains a file that looks like output from the Python
 coverage.py tool.  These are generated by python ,3 -coverage during a test
 run, noting which parts of the code have been executed.  They can then be
 subsequently analyzed to identify code that could have been executed but was
 not.
 .
 As they are are unlikely to be of utility to end-users, these files should
 be removed from the package.

• Worked on nsntrace, a userspace tool to perform network traces on processes using kernel namespaces:
  • Overhauled error handling to ensure the return code of the wrapped process is returned to the surrounding environment. (#10).
  • Permit the -u argument to also accept uids as well as usernames. (#16).
  • Always kill the (hard-looping) udp_send utility, even on test failures. (#13).
  • Updated configure.ac to look for iptables in /sbin & /usr/sbin (#11) and to raise an error if pcap.h is missing (#15).
  • Drop bashisms in #!/bin/sh script (#14) and ignore the generated manpage in the Git repository (#12).
• Independently discovered an regression in the Django web development framework where field__isnull=False filters were not working with some foreign keys, resulting in extending the testsuite and release documentation. (#7104).
• Proposed a change to django-enumfield (a custom field for type-safe constants) to ensure passing a string type to Enum.get returned None on error to match the documentation. (#36).
• Fixed an issue in the Mopidy music player's podcast extension where the testsuite was failing tests in extreme timezones. (#40).
• Proposed changes to make various upstream's reproducible:
  • botan, a crypto/TLS library for C++11. (#587).
  • cookiecutter, a project template generator, removing nondeterministic keyword arguments from appearing in the documentation. (#800).
  • pyicu, a Python wraper for the IBM Unicode library. (#27).
• Integrated a number of issues raised by @piotr1212 to python-fadvise, my Python interface to posix_fadvise(2), where the API was not being applied to open file descriptors (#1) and moving the .so to a module directory (#2).
• Various improvements to try.diffoscope.org, a hosted version of the diffoscope in-depth and content-aware diff utility, including introducing an HTTP API (#21), updating the SSL certificate and correcting a logic issue where errors in diffoscope itself were not being detected correctly (b0ff49). Continued thanks to Bytemark for sponsoring the hardware.
• Fixed a bug in django-slack, my library to easily post messages to the Slack group-messaging utility, correcting an EncodeError exception under Python 3 (#53) and updated the minimum required version of Django to 1.7 (#54).
• Various updates to tickle-me-email, my Getting Things Done-inspired email toolbox, to also match / in IMAP's LIST separators (#6) and to encode the folder list as UTF-7 (#7). Thanks to @resiak.
• Clarified the documentation for travis.debian.net my hosted script to easily test and build Debian packages on the Travis CI continuous integration platform regarding how to integrate with Github (#20).

Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.5 (2016-08-29)

• Support for version 3 of the Protcol Buffers API
• Added 'syntax = "proto2";' to all proto files (PR #17)
• Updated Travis CI script to test against both versions 2 and 3 using custom-built .deb packages of version 3 (PR #16)
• Improved build system with support for custom CXXFLAGS (Craig Radcliffe in PR #15)

ENVIRONMENT
[...]
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH  belongs to the specs of reproducible-builds.org.  It
is supposed to be either undefined or to contain a decimal number which
tells the seconds since january 1st 1970. If it contains a number, then
it is used as time value to set the  default  of  --modification-date=,
--gpt_disk_guid,  and  --set_all_file_dates.  Startup files and program
options can override the effect of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
