Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2008-04-10
===============================================

Present: anicka, anosek, jmatejek, lmichnovic, mmarek, mvyskocil,
~ nadvornik, pcerny, pgajdos, sbrabec
Minutes: jmatejek

Topics:
(1) Branding proposal
(2) Interesting xscreensaver bug
(3) Packaging project for SoC

=====

(1) Branding Proposal

There is an ongoing discussion on opensuse-packaging mailing list about
the package branding convention proposal. Sbrabec informed us about
recent development. Many technical and legal issues with the proposal
are now solved.
The wiki page http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Branding
should always contain up-to-date information.

(2) Interesting xscreensaver bug

Sbrabec also talked about a security issue with xscreensaver on certain
systems, that can be exploited in an interesting way: the attacker needs
to unplug the computer's network cable at least 600 but no longer than
603 seconds before user logs in. If the attacker can achieve this, the
nscd login cache expires in exactly the right moment and the user can
log in, but xscreensaver will not start, preventing the user from
locking his screen.

(3) Packaging project for SoC

One student expressed interest in one of our Google Summer of Code
ideas, so openSUSE will have a packagers' project in SoC. It is called
"New approach for (RPM) packages creation" and described here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Summer_of_Code_2008#New_approach_for_.28RPM.29_packages_creation
