Bug#693243: unblock: ncpfs/2.2.6-9



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package ncpfs/2.2.6-9. I fixed several bugs that breaks
it either completely or only the second time it is used.

Also I removed the SUID-bit from the binaries. The NCP protocol is
practically dead; Movell pushs the customers to migrate to CIFS with
Samba. So this code does not get a lot attention and a lot of security
problems had been fixed in the last uploads. Also a quick review didn't
made me think this is a good idea anyway. The impact is pretty low, as
mounting via fstab still works.

ncpfs (2.2.6-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * QA upload.
  * Drop generated file so package can be build twice. (closes: #692471)
  * Remove all mtab fiddling. (closes: #692470)
    - Depend on new enough initscripts.
  * Remove kernel interface selection. (closes: #692472)
  * Use hardening flags.
    - Make sure LDFLAGS is used.
  * Don't install ncpmount and ncpumount as suid root. (closes: #692929)
    - Drop lintian overrides.
