Description Robert Schuster 2005-09-06 14:01:56 UTC
Please add the tofu network library to Gentoo's portage. It is needed for
Jean-Baptiste Lamy's new game Balazar.

ebuild for tofu-0.2

Please comment on this ebuild. For me this made Balazar 0.2 work flawlessly.

twisted is part of the python herd.  I'd prefer the python group maintains this
one as well.

This package has a severe security issue, the same as py2play but slightly less 
severe as Tofu isn't p2p (yet).  However, a server can still execute arbitrary 
code on a client (and possibly vice versa). 
 
My recommendation is to include a "kludge" Tofu which disables this 
functionality leaving clients which require it as if they were offline. 
 
This problem is documented on the Soya wiki frontpage (and has for some time):

Not adding this ebuild with the current security issues. Reopen bug if those
issues are ever fixed properly.
