Enhancement #648

Updated by Marc Dequènes over 5 years ago

Please update the TODOs below and add a note to comment on the progress. 

 Identified oneshot changes: 
 * -add buster in our repo and check if packages needs to be ported- (spoolinger is done, lxd needs more work, nothing else needs porting) 
 * Migrating from legacy network interface names: see https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#migrate-interface-names 
 * /usr is now merged by default and most softwares expect path to be updated: there is no reason to diverge from the Debian installation and that would cause annoying config changes; installing the `usrmerge` package solves it 
 ** -molly-guard molly-guard problems (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930131)- (molly-guard and usrmerge backported (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930131), backport in our repo) repo? 
 * SysV init related packages no longer required: apt purge initscripts sysv-rc insserv startpar 
 * PostgreSQL databases need to be reindexed: sudo -u postgres reindexdb --all 

 Identified deployment changes: 
 * hidepid with systemd and polkit: see https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening#Mounting_.2Fproc_with_hidepid 
 * install debian-security-support 

 Problematic softwares: 
 * phpmyadmin: not in Buster but still in Debian; will there be backports?
