Description:
hardening-check is a perl-script to check whether an already compiled ELF was built using hardening-flags.

It checks, using readelf, for these hardening-characteristics:

  * Position Independent Executable
    (gcc/g++ -fPIE -pie)
  * Stack protected
    (gcc/g++ -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2)
  * Fortify Source functions
    (gcc/g++ -fstack-protector --param ssp-buffer-size=4)
  * Read-only relocations
    (ld -z relro)
  * Immediate binding
    (ld -z now)

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2013-06-09 10:52:54 UTC
The binutils and glibc-common build deps are redundant and should be removed.

Renaming the docs seems unusual and quite pointless deviation from upstream to me, I'd just refer to their names like in %doc debian/... (non-blocker as far as the review goes).

I suspect that the examples in parenthesis in %description are not quite accurate and are also subject to bitrot, I'd just remove them and while at it, remove some unnecessary bits off it and remove some extraneous hyphens, fix capitalization etc:

Thanks for your review, Ville! If I can do a favour (read: review your pkgs) to you, just let me know.

With above changes everything should be fine, I think.

Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2013-06-09 15:09:34 UTC
Looks good, approved.

And thanks for the offer, I'll try to keep it in mind when/if I have some new packages to submit sometime.
