Bug ID: 27784
Summary: debuginfod client-use notification
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: debuginfod
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
There have been concerns that if debuginfod* client facilities are turned on by
default in a system, a user may have no idea that they are exposing themselves
to the possibility of Bad data flowing down from debuginfod servers. There was
a suggestion that if we (something?) were to notify users, this could be
enough.
Let's consider extending debuginfod-client.c with a small notification option.
We probably can't get away with anything interactive in a low level library,
but this simple trick might work:
- upon each request to debuginfod-client, check for existence of a file
$DEBUGINFOD_CACHE/notified_p
- if does not exist, and isatty(stdout), then print a quick notification
message to the user, sleep a second or two, touch that notified_p file, and
continue
