debian.dev-zero.nl

As of now, debian.dev-zero.nl also carries a repository for Maemo 5 Fremantle. Maemo is the Debian-based operating system created by Nokia, running on N810 internet tablets and N900 phones. Development of Maemo at Nokia has come somewhat to a halt, since first MeeGo was announced, and later Nokia announced the strategic partnership with Microsoft to [...]

Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse, a.k.a. DCC is an anti-spam content filter, that works by comparing checksums of received mail, to recognize (and possibly block) unsollicited bulk e-mail. At DevZero.nl, over 50% of the SPAM we receive, is found with DCC, and there are very few false positives. DCC has been around for more than 10 years, [...]

Last Wednesday, PHP 5.3.3-7 was uploaded to unstable. This version contains about 15 patches for problems that have been fixed in newer versions upstream, including a problem on 32-bit installations with large floating point numbers, that could crash or hang your server. Enough reason for a new backport, so as of now, this version (5.3.3-7tzz1~bpo50) [...]

Earlier this month, a serious security vulnerability was discoverd in Exim.  While a security update for Lenny’s version 4.69-9 was released the very same day, different versions remain vulnerable. On December 26th, version 4.72-3 was uploaded to Unstable, containing the fixes for this issue from upstream’s version 4.73 RC1. I am sure, that this version [...]

It took a while -as a matter of fact, this is the first update to the repository in over 8 months- but today, the latest version of PHP was uploaded to debian.dev-zero.nl. While PHP 5.3.3 was already released in July by the PHP development team, it took until late October for the first release by [...]

On March 4th, PHP 5.3.2 was released by the PHP development team and on March 13th, it was uploaded to Unstable. Today, this version (5.3.2-1) was backported to Lenny and uploaded to lenny-custom. As usual, both amd64 and i386 are available.

The backport of Apache 2.2 was updated to 2.2.15-2 from Testing. In Testing/Unstable, this package (apache2.2-bin, to be precise)  has a dependency on libssl >= 0.9.8m, because of some fixes concerning secure session renegotiation in mod_ssl. However, this version was built against Lenny’s 0.9.8g. For more information on secure session renegotiation in OpenSSL, see  its [...]

Last Sunday (Feb. 21st), libapache2-mod-h264-streaming was updated to version 2.2.7 (~tzz1~bp50), which was released in January. I haven’t been tracking the development of the module very closely recently, mostly because the upstream news page doesn’t give much indication that there is any development going on at all. That was a mistake, or so it seems. [...]

Shortly after uploading PHP 5.3.1 to lenny-custom, a bug appeared in the Debian BTS, concerning the several SQLite extensions. I went ahead and fixed this bug (in my own way; the Debian maintainers may choose a different path!) and prepared new packages.  The situation regarding SQLite is now as follows: There are three different extensions [...]
