Hi all,

I'm the owner of the Ossec's ITP bug in Debian [1].

If we want Debian distribute Ossec code we need a change in Ossec's license.

You can check out [2].

There are two ways:
1.- add an OpenSSL exception or to migrate the code to GnuTLS, or
2.- migrate Ossec's code from OpenSSL to GnuTLS.

The first way is the easiest, fastest and, at this moment, the
recommended way too.

Is it possible to complete the first way?

An example of OpenSSL exception can be founded here [3].

Thanks for Ossec.
I'm waiting for your answer to continue packaging it.


Cheers,

Jose Antonio

Hi again,

i'm sorry because of my last email.
This is a review, i hope that this time you'll be able to understand it.
I do this for me too, i was ungry with myself for having wrote so bad
this email.
Sorry again, and let's go:

I'm the owner of the Ossec's ITP bug in Debian [1].

If you want Ossec to be distributed by Debian, the code or the license
need to be changed.

You can check out this thread [2].

There are two ways:
1.- add an OpenSSL exception, or
2.- migrate Ossec's code from OpenSSL to GnuTLS.

The first way is the easiest, fastest and, at this moment, the
recommended way too.

An example of OpenSSL exception can be founded here [3].

Is it possible to complete this first way?

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the message and sorry for the delay getting back. All
google group moderation
messages to ossec-dev were coming to my spam folder, so they weren't
getting posted.

I think it will be easier to just add the exception for OpenSSL as you
described. I am sending
this to Trend Micro, but I don't think it will be a problem.

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

it's very nice to read this words from you.

I'll continue working on the package now.

I haven't read Ossec's code yet, but I've read the work done before me
by Matej Vela and I suspect that Ossec is not fitting in FHS, Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard.
If you think it would be a good thing to make Ossec's code to fit in
FHS, and you are not in a hurry about this, i can tell you which changes
are needed to be done in the code while i read it and study what is it
doing in each directory, this will be faster than if i have to make the
code and propose the alternative (maybe it's only about changing some
variables but for sure you know your code better than me now).
do you enjoy this way? in this case we can begin the adaptation now.

Cheers,

Jose Antonio Quevedo

Hi Jose,

That's a bit tricky to do.. OSSEC runs on chroot and we tried very
hard to keep everything
contained in one directory. The reason is that since OSSEC monitors
the system files, logs, etc
mixing it up could generate some issues.

What others have done is to install ossec inside /opt or inside
/usr/local. Would that be a valid
alternative? We can try maybe linking from the ossec directory to
/etc/ossec, /var/log/ossec, etc...

Thanks,
