Thu 02 Jan 2014 07:56:26 PM UTC, comment #20: The xmlrpc frontend uses the same authorization process as the Web frontend, minus the textcha. I hoped that MoinMoin's plugin system could be of help, but that only allows creating new methods, not overriding xmlrpc to implement different authorization. So separate authorization would have to be implemented in MoinMoin itself. I suspect that's a bit of work.

Thu 02 Jan 2014 11:51:42 AM UTC, comment #19: Now, I'm really alarmed at the prospect of spammers being able to do massive editing using xmlrpc.

Wed 01 Jan 2014 07:40:05 PM UTC, comment #18: I had a closer look at xmlrpc again. I see that Debian have it disabled "to mitigate unspecified security issues" [1]. It's been disabled by default in MoinMoin since 1.9.1 for security reasons [2]. I didn't find any concrete reports of security issues. It at least lowers the barrier for spam attacks. It might also give some wiki editors adventurous ideas about massive editing.

Sun 29 Dec 2013 03:37:59 PM UTC, comment #17: If there is no security issues with XML-RPC, can we use it to update the wiki page?

Sat 28 Dec 2013 10:30:01 PM UTC, comment #16: I remember I looked at XML-RPC for a bit as a potential aid in our wiki spam problem. I was concerned about security, but I don't remember if that was based on facts or just a feeling. I would have to delve into it again.

Wed 25 Dec 2013 09:14:45 PM UTC, comment #14: I've updated the remaining packages, clarified a few others and added some which I apparently forgot to push to Savannah. |

Mon 23 Dec 2013 12:24:13 PM UTC, comment #13: Sorry for the hastily written documentation. I've updated the gns-deb-diff-notes wiki page. I guess the description should be clearer now.

Sun 22 Dec 2013 08:12:58 PM UTC, comment #12: While I was helping someone to submit a patch to us, there was some confusion about the Changed-From-Debian field. It was not clear from the wiki page for this person if the field could be multiple lines or just one. I think it would be good if you could specify that and make the example line a bit shorter so that it doesn't wrap.

Wed 18 Dec 2013 10:29:10 PM UTC, comment #10: Sorry, I must have misread. I thought the link field would be required in README.gNewSense.

Mon 16 Dec 2013 10:04:19 PM UTC, comment #8: That looks good. The link is the same format for all packages, so you could just build that into the code. Then we won't need to maintain the More-Info-Link.

Sun 01 Sep 2013 08:49:37 AM UTC, original submission:
We should have a list of differences between Debian and gNewSense. It should show the reason for each removed or modified package, in a concise and user-readable way.

Corresponding source code
@samgee,
I've re-written the script in python3:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gns-deb-diff
I would like to test the script on gnewsense.org
Would it be possible to enable xmlrpc for gNewSense's wiki?
