Hi, Debian and Ubuntu use hardened build flags. Such flags are especially relevant for a package like Mailman that uses setgid. In order to make full use of available hardening features, we need to pass CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but Mailmans Makefile currently not allows that, so we need to patch it. It would be great if attached patch could be applied by Mailman upstream, as it doesn't have a drawback if you're not using the flags. Thanks, Thijs ** Patch added: "patch as used in Debian package" https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/637652/+attachment/2890784/+files/02... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/637652 Title: mailman should respect LDFLAGS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/637652/+subscriptions

Hi Bernard, Can you elaborate on these changes? What are you trying to express?
