pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools: Makefile distinfo
Log Message:
Update to 3.01a15:
All:
- Due to an incorrect message from last release, here is corrected
information on when a Linux installation is potentially dangerous:
New autoconf tests for sys/capability.h and cap_*() functions
from Linux -lcap
WARNING: If you do not see this:
checking for sys/capability.h... yes
...
checking for cap_get_proc in -lcap... yes
checking for cap_get_proc... yes
checking for cap_set_proc... yes
checking for cap_set_flag... yes
checking for cap_clear_flag... yes
your Linux installation is insecure in case you ever use the
command "setcap" to set up file capabilities for executable commands.
Note that cdrtools (as any other command) need to be capabylity aware
in order to avoid security leaks with enhanced privileges. In most
cases, privileges are only needed for a very limited set of operations.
If cdrtools (cdrecord, cdda2wav, readcd) are installed suid-root, the
functions to control privileges are in the basic set of supported
functions and thus there is no problem for any program to control it's
privileges - if they have been obtained via suid root, you are on a
secure system.
If you are however on an incomplete installation, that supports to
raise privileges via fcaps but that does not include developer support
for caps, the programs get the privileges without being able to know
about the additional privileges and thus keep them because they cannot
control them.
WARNING: If you are on a Linux system that includes support for
fcaps (this is seems to be true for all newer systems with
Linux >= 2.6.24) and there is no development support for capabilities
in the base system, you are on an inherently insecure system that allows
to compile and set up programs with enhanced privileges that cannot
control them.
In such a case, try to educate the security manager for the related
Linux distribution. Note that you may turn your private installation
into a secure installation by installing development support for libcap.
- WARNING: the include structure of include/schily/*.h and several sources
has been restructured to cause less warnings with older OS platforms.
If you see any new problem on your personal platform, please report.
- New includefiles:
schily/poll.h Support poll()
schily/stdarg.h An alias to schily/varargs.h (but using the std
name)
schily/sunos4_proto.h Missing prototypes for SunOS-4.x to make gcc
quiet
schily/timeb.h Needed for users of ftime()
- Many minor bug-fixes for the files include/schily/*.h
- include/schily/archconf.h now defines __SUNOS5 for easier coding
- include/schily/priv.h now defines platform independent fine grained
privileges
- Updated README.compile:
Some typo patches from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh%inai.de@localhost>
Documented the "LINKMODE=" macro to explain how to create dynamically
linked bynaries.
Libschily:
- Added #include <schily/libport.h> to libschily/fnmatch.c
Libedc (Optimized by J�rg Schilling, originated by Heiko Ei�feldt
heiko%hexco.de@localhost):
- Added #include <schily/libport.h>
Libdeflt:
- Added #include <schily/libport.h>
Libfind:
- dirname -> dir_name to avoid a gcc warning
Libhfs_iso:
- Rename variable "utime" to "uxtime" to avoid a compiler warning
Libscg:
- Repositioned #ifdefs to avoid unused variable definitions in
libscg/scsi-sun.c
- libscg/scsi-linux-ata.c now aborts early if errno == EPERM. This now
makes it behave like libscg/scsi-linux-sg.c
- A new scg flag SCGF_PERM_PRINT tells libscg to print a more verbose
error
in case that a SCSI comand was aborted with errno == EPERM.
Cdrecord:
- Allow to compile without Linux libcap using "smake
COPTX=-DNO_LINUX_CAPS LIB_CAP="
- Cdrecord now checks whether there are sufficient fine grained
privileges.
- Cdrecord now uses the new flag SCGF_PERM_PRINT to get better warnings
if the
permissions granted by the OS are not sufficient.
Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by J�rg Schilling, originated by Heiko Ei�feldt
heiko%hexco.de@localhost):
- Include file reordering to avoid warnings on older platforms
- Allow to compile without Linux libcap using "smake
COPTX=-DNO_LINUX_CAPS LIB_CAP="
- Repositioned #ifdefs to avoid unused variable definitions in
cdda2wav/sndconfig.c
- Cdda2wav now checks whether there are sufficient fine grained
privileges.
- Work around a bug in sys/param.h FreeBSD-9.1, that #define's
__FreeBSD_kernel__
instead of #define __FreeBSD_kernel__ 9 that would be needed for Debian
k-FreeBSD compatibility.
The bug affects cdda2wav/mycdrom.h
Readcd:
- Allow to compile without Linux libcap using "smake
COPTX=-DNO_LINUX_CAPS LIB_CAP="
- Readcd now checks whether there are sufficient fine grained privileges.
Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by J�rg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric
Youngdale):
- Make mkisofs compile without -DUDF and without -DDVD_VIDEO
