Arturo Borrero Gonz lez: Creating a team for netfilter packages in debian

Debian - Netfilter There are about 15 Netfilter packages in Debian, and they are maintained by separate people. Yersterday, I contacted the maintainers of the main packages to propose the creation of a pkg-netfilter team to maintain all the packages together. The benefits of maintaining packages in a team is already known to all, and I would expect to rise the overall quality of the packages due to this movement. By now, the involved packages and maintainers are: We should probably ping Jochen Friedrich as well who maintains arptables and ebtables. Also, there are some other non-official Netfilter packages, like iptables-persistent. I m undecided to what to do with them, as my primary impulse is to only put in the team upstream packages. Given the release of Stretch is just some months ahead, the creation of this packaging team will happen after the release, so we don t have any hurry moving things now.

Lunar: Reproducible builds: week 43 in Stretch cycle

What happened in the reproducible builds effort between February 14th and February 20th 2016:

Toolchain fixes Yaroslav Halchenko uploaded cython/0.23.4+git4-g7eed8d8-1 which makes its output deterministic. Original patch by Chris Lamb. Didier Raboud uploaded pyppd/1.0.2-3 to experimental which now serialize PPD deterministically. Lunar submitted two patches for lcms to add a way for clients to set the creation date/time in profile headers and initialize all bytes when writing named colors.

Packages fixed The following packages have become reproducible due to changes in their build dependencies: dbconfig-common, dctrl-tools, dvdwizard, ekg2, expeyes, galternatives, gpodder, icewm, latex-mk, libiio, lives, navit, po4a, tasksel, tilda, vdr-plugin-infosatepg, xaos. The following packages became reproducible after getting fixed: Some uploads fixed some reproducibility issues, but not all of them: Unknown status:
  • tomcat7/7.0.68-1 by Emmanuel Bourg (test suite fails in test environment).
Patches submitted which have not made their way to the archive yet:
  • #814840 on tor by Petter Reinholdtsen: use the UTC timezone when calling asciidoc.
  • #815082 on arachne-pnr by Dhole: use the C locale to format the changelog date.
  • #815192 on manpages-de by Reiner Herrmann: tell grep to always treat the input as text so that it works with non-UTF-8 locales.
  • #815193 on razorqt by Reiner Herrmann: tell grep to always treat the input as text so that it works with non-UTF-8 locales.
  • #815250 on jacal by Reiner Herrmann: use the C locale to format the build date.
  • #815252 on colord by Lunar: remove extra timestamps when generating CMF and spectra and implement support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

reproducible.debian.net Two new package sets have been added: freedombox and freedombox_build-depends. (h01ger)

diffoscope development diffoscope version 49 was released on February 17th. It continues to improve handling of debug symbols for ELF files. Their content will now be compared separately to make them more readable. The search for matching debug packages is more efficient by looking only for .deb files in the same parent directory. Alongside more bug fixes, support for ICC profiles has been added, and libarchive is now also used to read metadata for ar archives.

strip-nondeterminism development Reiner Herrmann added support to normalize Gettext .mo files.

Package reviews 170 reviews have been removed, 172 added and 54 updated in the previous week. 34 new FTBFS bugs have been opened by Chris Lamb, h01ger and Reiner Herrmann. New issues added this week: lxqt_translate_desktop_binary_file_matched_under_certain_locales, timestamps_in_manpages_generated_by_autogen. Improvements to the prebuilder script: avoid ccache, skip disorderfs hook if device nodes cannot be created, compatibility with grsec trusted path execution (Reiner Herrmann), code cleanup (Esa Peuha).

Misc. Steven Chamberlain highlighted reproducibility problems due to differences in how Linux and FreeBSD handle permissions for symlinks. Some possible ways forward have been discussed on the reproducible-builds mailing list. Bernhard M. Wiedemann reported on some reproducibility tests made on OpenSuse mentioning the growing support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. If you are eligible for Outreachy or Google Summer of Code, consider spending the summer working on reproducible builds!

Lunar: Reproducible builds: week 38 in Stretch cycle

What happened in the reproducible builds effort between January 10th and January 16th:

Toolchain fixes Benjamin Drung uploaded mozilla-devscripts/0.43 which sorts the file list in preferences files. Original patch by Reiner Herrmann. Lunar submitted an updated patch series to make timestamps in packages created by dpkg deterministic. To ensure that the mtimes in data.tar are reproducible, with the patches, dpkg-deb uses the --clamp-mtime option added in tar/1.28-1 when available. An updated package has been uploaded to the experimental repository. This removed the need for a modified debhelper as all required changes for reproducibility have been merged or are now covered by dpkg.

Packages fixed The following packages have become reproducible due to changes in their build dependencies: angband-doc, bible-kjv, cgoban, gnugo, pachi, wmpuzzle, wmweather, wmwork, xfaces, xnecview, xscavenger, xtrlock, virt-top. The following packages became reproducible after getting fixed: Some uploads fixed some reproducibility issues, but not all of them: Untested changes:

reproducible.debian.net Once again, Vagrant Cascadian is providing another armhf build system, allowing to run 6 more armhf builder jobs, right there. (h01ger) Stop requiring a modified debhelper and adapt to the latest dpkg experimental version by providing a predetermined identifier for the .buildinfo filename. (Mattia Rizzolo, h01ger) New X.509 certificates were set up for jenkins.debian.net and reproducible.debian.net using Let's Encrypt!. Thanks to GlobalSign for providing certificates for the last year free of charge. (h01ger)

Package reviews 131 reviews have been removed, 85 added and 32 updated in the previous week. FTBFS issues filled: 29. Thanks to Chris Lamb, Mattia Rizzolo, and Niko Tyni. New issue identified: timestamps_in_manpages_added_by_golang_cobra.

Misc. Most of the minutes from the meetings held in Athens in December 2015 are now available to the public.

Lunar: Reproducible builds: week 16 in Stretch cycle

What happened in the reproducible builds effort this week: Toolchain fixes Valentin Lorentz sent a patch for ispell to initialize memory structures before dumping their content. In our experimental repository, qt4-x11 has been rebased on the latest version (Dhole), as was doxygen (akira). Packages fixed The following packages became reproducible due to changes in their build dependencies: backup-manager, cheese, coinor-csdp, coinor-dylp, ebook-speaker, freefem, indent, libjbcrypt-java, qtquick1-opensource-src, ruby-coffee-script, ruby-distribution, schroot, twittering-mode. The following packages became reproducible after getting fixed: Some uploads fixed some reproducibility issues but not all of them: Patches submitted which have not made their way to the archive yet: akira found another embedded code copy of texi2html in maxima. reproducible.debian.net Work on testing several architectures has continued. (Mattia/h01ger) Package reviews 29 reviews have been removed, 187 added and 34 updated this week. 172 new FTBFS reports were filled, 137 solely by Chris West (Faux). josch spent time investigating the issue with fonts in PDF files. Chris Lamb documented the issue affecting documentation generated by ocamldoc. Misc. Lunar presented a general Reproducible builds HOWTO talk at the Chaos Communication Camp 2015 in Germany on August 13th. Recordings are already available, as well as slides and script. h01ger and Lunar also used CCCamp15 as an opportunity to have discussions with members of several different projects about reproducible builds. Good news should be coming soon.

Sam Hocevar: Bits from the DPL: officialising delegations

Hi there! There are a few delegations that I need to confirm or make official, so that we don't end up 5 years from now wondering when or how they happened. First, Kalle Kivimaa (killer) was delegated Debian Auditor by the DPL last year and it was not completely obvious that delegation was to survive the end of Anthony's term. I am hereby confirming it is a permanent delegation (until resignation or future DPL decision). Second, Peter Palfrader (weasel) was added to the team of Debian System Administrators (DSA). This is to be considered a normal delegation by the DPL. And finally, Anibal Monsalve Salazar (anibal) was added to the Debian Maintainer Keyring team under the rules of the DM GR ("Changes to the team may be made by the DPL under the normal rules for delegations").

Benjamin Seidenberg: New Debian maintainer Benjamin Seidenberg


Dear Benjamin Seidenberg!
Your account ‘benjamin’ has just been created in the central LDAP
database of the Debian project.  Please note that it needs a bit of time
until this information is synced with all developer-accessible machines.
You should be able to login or upload packages after about 30-60 minutes.
The password for this account can be found appended to this message,
encrypted with your GPG key.
Email sent to benjamin@debian.org will be forwarded to astronut@dlgeek.net,
to change this visit http://db.debian.org/forward.html.
This has definately made my day. I would like to thank my sponsor and advocate, Anibal Monsalve Salazar, the Debian Cyrus Team (especially Sven and Henrique) and especially my AM, Cl ment Stenac (Zorglub). I couldn’t have asked for a better AM; he answered every mail within a day as far as I remember, was extremely supportive and helpful. I remember when I sent him the last T&S response he appologized on IRC that he couldn’t write the recommendation until that evening, whereas some AMs have taken months to do it.
For those interested in the NM queue’s proccessing time, here is an approximate summery of my progress through NM:
Waiting for advocate: 2.5 weeks (This should have been shorter, I had my advocate lined up, but then there was a question about me signing the key of the guy who signed mine, but I hadn t checked his ID).
Waiting for AM: 6 months
Going through the checks: 2.5 months. (This would have been shorter had it not been right around the end of my senior year of high school, with the mad rush to cram everything in before exams)
Waiting for FD: 1.5 Months
Waiting for DAM: 1.5 Months
Waiting for account creation after DAM approval: 2 months.

Andree Leidenfrost: Meeting Melbournian Debian Developers

I only sent a [VAC] message on Sunday asking people whether they'd be interested to meet in Melbourne this week. To my great surprise and delight, this resulted in a nice Japanese dinner at Ginza with Russell Coker, Hamish Moffat, Anibal Monsalve Salazar and Jason (sorry, no full name) followed by a drink in a pub in the city. (The drink was actually free as in beer due to Russell organising some vouchers - very good! ;-) )
We had interesting conversations about various topics including Debconf6 which Anibal had attended and it was really good to meet some other Debian developers. Hamish stayed a bit longer and we had a good conversation about packaging, Ubuntu and the general direction of Debian.
In summary a very nice evening - thanks guys! ;-)
