-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, Peter Pentchev, the Debian package maintainer for the "stunnel4" package, does not reply to my emails. I hope he is still alive and well, just too busy to maintain the package. I decided to share with you my comments to the patches that are applied to the Debian package. Hopefully, someone will find them useful. Mike - -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Comments/questions to Debian patches Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 21:13:25 +0100 From: Michal Trojnara <[email protected]> To: Peter Pentchev <[email protected]> Hi Peter, Just a few comments/questions to improve the quality of Debian package. I'll be glad to discuss if you disagree with my opinions. 01-fix-paths.patch The patch description is quite outdated. Translation from sbin to bin was performed upstream in stunnel 4.21 released 27 Oct 2007. 8-) I guess: /usr/bin/stunnel -fd 10 \ should be: /usr/bin/stunnel4 -fd 10 \ Probably this should be added to the next patch: 02-rename-binary.patch 05-logrotate-warning-in-sample-conf.patch Good idea. I'll add it to stunnel 5.07. 08-client-example.patch I've already added this example in stunnel 5.02. Your patch adds it once again. Just remove it. 10-no-zlib-compression.patch I'm completely confused by this patch. According to my tests it only makes stunnel reporting different errors when a user tries to enable compression on Debian. Why would anyone need this patch? 11-no-rle-compression.patch IMHO OpenSSL bugs should be fixed in OpenSSL, and not in stunnel. YMMV 12-restore-pidfile-default.patch I strongly disagree with this approach, as it breaks configuration file compatibility with the upstream. Debian should instead rewrite stunnel.conf when upgrading from stunnel 4.xx. 14-lsb-init-functions.patch 8-) 15-upstream-systemd-libs.patch This (and more) will be included in stunnel 5.07. 16-upstream-sslv23-method.patch This will be included in stunnel 5.07.
