I'd say yes. DSA is actually willing test them right now, I've decided to approach you instead of manually building the test packages myself. > +samhain (2.8.3a-2) stable; urgency=medium > > In general we'd suggest 2.8.3a-1+deb7u1 here; -2 is okay as long as > there's never been a package in the Debian archive with that version. You are right. There's never been a 2.8.3a-2 package but I will use 2.8.3a-1+deb7u1 instead anyway. > > + * Default samhainrc now uses SetMailAddress=root, SetMailRelay=localhost > + since there have been reports of the previous confguration > + (SetMailAddress=root@localhost, SetMailRelay=NULL) not working since > + samhain tries to retrieve an MX record for 'localhost' from the DNS > + (Closes: 709754) > > I think you meant #709753 here; #709754 is an erlang bug. Yes, its #709753. Thanks for spotting this error. I will fix it in the changelog. > Is samhainrc generally customised by users?

There might be conffile prompts for users but I think the majority just runs with the standard configuration. The benefit of the above is that the "standard" configuration will work for everybody out of the box. > > diff --git a/sql_init/samhain.mysql.init~ b/sql_init/samhain.mysql.init~ > deleted file mode 100644 > diff --git a/sql_init/samhain.oracle.init~ b/sql_init/samhain.oracle.init~ > deleted file mode 100644 > diff --git a/sql_init/samhain.postgres.init~ b/sql_init/samhain.postgres.init~ > deleted file mode 100644 > > I'm assuming these are cruft and thus intentionally removed from the > package, but it would have been helpful to mention that (and preferably > changelog it).
