12:23.15kerioPali: i doublechecked - the old package's postrm is executed *after* your preinst, so we MUST make the new rootsh conflict with the old one
12:23.16kerio~2119
12:23.16infobotThe key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
12:23.33kerioso that the old one is removed even before the new one is unpacked
12:25.57*** join/#maemo-ssu _ade_ (~arno@52481E0B.cm-4-1a.dynamic.ziggo.nl)
12:30.55_ade_Pali: could you please have a look at your code regarding the opening of the date/time applet in the replacement clock?
12:31.00_ade_Pali: I would hate to see things stagnating again, just because of one minor not solved issue
12:46.22gregoakerio: for this preinst/postrm question and when which maintainer script is run, you might find http://wiki.debian.org/MaintainerScripts useful (and the prose is at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-mscriptsinstact )
12:51.07keriooh god why
12:51.22kerioalso, my version would blow up in case of a downgrade
12:54.07keriowait, no it wouldn't, it conflicts with past versions
12:54.22kerioso it's fully uninstalled before the old one is installed
12:55.27gregoakerio: debian doesn't support downgrades, I don't think maemo has changed this ...
12:56.04keriothey're not supported, but it would be nice if downgrading didn't blow everything up
12:56.05kerio:)
12:57.08kerioPali: silly idea: we update the sudo package in cssu and add an explicit check in gainroot
12:57.31keriorootsh will create a file in /etc/ and that's it
12:59.40keriohm, it would still have the problem of the stupid rootsh1.6 postrm
13:00.21keriogregoa: does the debian policy specify the punishment for overwriting files in maintainer scripts?
13:00.53gregoakerio: the punishment is "release critical bug"
13:01.06gregoakerio: if you mean files in other packages
13:01.11kerioyep
13:01.19keriobut i was thinking of more corporal punishments
13:01.27gregoa:)
13:01.36keriolike being publicly flogged
13:02.12gregoanot the written policy :)

13:44.54DocScrutinizer05still wonders WTF *is* the bug ticket we're going to close with all that hassle about rootsh. After all you can't save spilled milk, rootsh exists, however nasty it might be, and changing it now doesn't really help anything with the already deployed nasty packaging
13:47.04DocScrutinizer05ticket number, impact?!
13:47.23kerioi'm not sure rootsh has a bug tracker
13:47.34keriois there a generic tracker for extras(-devel)?
13:48.27DocScrutinizer05in my book rootsh is a component of core maemo, though not written on the paper
13:49.24keriooh, wtf is event.replace.d?
13:49.43DocScrutinizer05anyway you don't mess with packaging of a 4 year old pkg, just to fix the packaging for nicer looks
13:51.40DocScrutinizer05packaging may look to make my ass laugh at it for its ugliness, I wouldn't care after 4 years the pkg got used with no bug report against it. As already mentioned you can't save spilled milk
13:52.40DocScrutinizer05and you MUST NOT change semantics of sudo gainroot!
13:52.48DocScrutinizer05so wtf even touch it?
13:53.07kerioyou can upgrade spilled milk, despill it, and make it spill in a bowl for later easy cleaning
13:53.54DocScrutinizer05makes an obscene sound in kerio's general direction
13:54.14kerioi weep for the state of your kitchen, man
13:54.22DocScrutinizer05take your developer's sandbox and move on elsewhere
13:54.27keriok :(
13:54.56DocScrutinizer05CSSU anyway is not any such sandbox
13:55.09DocScrutinizer05meither is maemo-extras
13:55.14DocScrutinizer05neither*
13:56.29DocScrutinizer05honestly if you got no other problems than beautifying rootsh packaging, I'm honestly concerned about future of CSSU
13:57.57Paliyou did not remember problem that rootsh was unable to uninstall????
13:58.13kerioPali: nah, that's mostly fixed in the latest rootsh
13:58.22Paliyes, but see how it was fixed...
13:58.37Paliand see how long take it to promote fix to extras...
13:58.47Pali(from extras-devel)
13:59.01kerioDocScrutinizer05: we need to fix rootsh to update the sudo package, because <DocScrutinizer05> in my book rootsh is a component of core maemo, though not written on the paper
13:59.17kerioand we'll eventually have to update the sudo package to allow for askpass for HAM
13:59.47Palibtw, we have old version of sudo in maemo, isnt there security problems??
13:59.59kerioPali: ha ha ha, you're funny
14:00.14PaliI think everybody know all old sudo security problems...
14:00.22keriothe distribution with the graphical package manager that can install stuff from user-provided files without asking any password has security problems
14:00.28keriowho would've thought
14:01.17kerioor, easier, the distribution with no /etc/shadow support (and i have no idea how to fix *that*)
14:04.31DocScrutinizer05demonstrate the problem before you moan about the missing plan for a fix
14:05.36DocScrutinizer05fremantle still is a single user system by usecase definition. Systems with trusted users are not supposed to need /etc/shadow
14:06.16keriohm, why do you care about passwordful sudo then?
14:06.50DocScrutinizer05OMFG, and I risk bashing from thedead1440 for answering
14:07.09keriono, seriously :c
14:07.11thedead1440kicks DocScrutinizer05 out of here
14:07.20DocScrutinizer05why remember passwords, when you can crack them with john
14:08.07*** join/#maemo-ssu freemangordon (~ivo@130.204.50.168)
14:08.11DocScrutinizer05why have a safety switch on your rifle when you can switch it to "armed"
14:08.22keriooh, for the user himself
14:08.23kerioi see
14:08.57DocScrutinizer05why lock your door when anybody can use C4 to open it?
14:09.05keriowhy a password instead of a "are you sure you want to install this" then?
14:09.36Lava_Croftkeep them passwords off of my n900!
14:09.41kerioi'd say that asking for a password is more to prevent your dumb friend messing with your system
14:09.44kerioon the n900
14:10.13DocScrutinizer05because *you* are too lame to crack *my* password on N900, even when I take 90min to shit and leave my phone on that table you're sitting on
14:10.47DocScrutinizer05off
14:11.14keriowell, i can't crypt(3) in my mind
14:23.34DocScrutinizer05If I'd expect my stuff to be safe despite you lifted my phone, I'd use cryptfs and probably also would create a very special NOLO version
14:25.16DocScrutinizer05always according to age old wisdom "there's no absolute security, there's just a ratio of time to crack vs value of data that could get stolen"
14:26.40DocScrutinizer05for protection of root access to fremantle, I'm absolutely fine with a simple etc/passwd, in that regard
14:36.18kerioeh, fair enough
