The haserl package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is often a good moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: haserl/setuid Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Install haserl binary with suid root permissions? When haserl is installed with suid root permissions, it will automatically set its UID and GID to that of the owner and group of the script. . WARNING: This is a potential security vulnerability, as scripts that are owned by root will be run as root, even when they do not have the suid root bit.

Description: CGI scripting program for embedded environments
Haserl is a small cgi wrapper that allows "PHP" style cgi programming, but uses
a UNIX bash-like shell or Lua as the programming language. It is very small, so
it can be used in embedded environments, or where something like PHP is too
big.
.
It combines three features into a small cgi engine:
* It parses POST and GET requests, placing form-elements as name=value
pairs into the environment for the CGI script to use. This is somewhat like
the uncgi wrapper.
* It opens a shell, and translates all text into printable statements. All
text within <% ... %> constructs are passed verbatim to the shell. This is
somewhat similar to how PHP scripts are parsed.
* It can optionally be installed to drop its permissions to the owner of the
script, giving it some of the security features of suexec or cgiwrapper.
