roundup-devel — Discussion on the development of Roundup

[Roundup-devel] [issue2551412] testing to see if starttls is working for email from google.

[John R. <is...@ro...>]

New submission from John Rouillard:

This is a test to see if I can get email into the roundup tracker.

Google was refusing to deliver because of missing starttls on the smtp server.
Jacob has merged a fix for this and I am testing.

[Roundup-devel] Roundup 2.5.0 release announcement (including security fix)

[John P. R. <ro...@cs...>]

Hello all:

I'm proud to release version 2.5.0 of the Roundup issue
tracker.  This release is a bugfix and feature release, so
make sure to read https://www.roundup-tracker.org/docs/upgrading.html
to bring your tracker up to date.

The 42 changes, as usual, include some new features and many bug
fixes. One bug fix is an XSS security issue with CVE-2025-53865
primarily with the responsve and devel templates. See: 

   https://www.roundup-tracker.org/docs/upgrading.html#xss-security-issue-with-devel-and-responsive-templates-recommended

Version 2.5.0 does not support Python 2. The minimum Python
version is 3.7.

Among the significant enhancements in version 2.5.0 compared to
the 2.4.0 release are:

* **XSS vulnerability with devel and responsive templates fixed**

  Just before release an XSS security issue with trackers based on
  the devel or responsive templates was discovered. The updating
  directions include instructions on fixing this issue with the
  html templates.

* **The property/field advanced search expression feature has been
  enhanced and documented.**

  Search expressions are usually built using the
  expression editor on the search page. They can be built manually
  by modifying the search URL but the RPN search expression format
  was undocumented. Errors in expressions could return results that
  didn't match the user's intent. This release documents the RPN
  expression syntax, adds basic expression error detection, and
  improves error reporting.

* **The default hash method for password storage is more secure.**

  We use PBKDF2 with SHA512 (was SHA1). With this change you can
  lower the value of password_pbkdf2_default_rounds in your
  tracker's config.ini. Check the upgrading documentation for more
  info. (Note this may cause longer authentication times, the
  upgrade doc describes how to downgrade the hash method if required.)

* **Roundup's session token is now prefixed with the magic
  ``__Secure__`` tag when using HTTPS.**

  This adds another layer of protection in addition to the
  existing ``Secure`` property that comes with the session cookie.

* **Data authorization can be done at the database level speeding up
  display of index pages.**

  Roundup verifies the user's authorization for the data fetched
  from the database after retrieving data from the database. A new
  optional ``filter`` argument has been added to Permission
  objects. When the administrator supplies a filter function, it
  can boost performance with SQL server databases by pushing
  selection criteria to the database. By offloading some
  permission checks to the database, less data is retrieved from
  the database. This leads to quicker display of index pages with
  reduced CPU and network traffic.

* **The REST endpoint can supply binary data (images, pdf, ...) to
  its clients.**

  Requesting binary data from a REST endpoint has been a
  hassle. Since JSON can't handle binary data, images (and other
  binary data) need to be encoded. This makes them significantly
  larger. The workaround was to use a non-REST endpoint for fetching
  non-text attachments. This update lets the REST endpoint return
  raw message or file content data. You can utilize the
  ``binary_content`` endpoint along with an appropriate ``Accept``
  header (e.g. ``image/jpeg``) in your request.

* **Extract translatable strings from your tracker easily.**

  The ``roundup-gettext`` tool has been enhanced to extract
  translatable strings from detectors and extensions. This will
  simplify the process of translating your trackers.

Other miscellaneous fixes include:

* Fix a crash bug on Windows with Python 3.13.

* Update documentation on required REST headers, along with other
  documentation updates.

* Improve handling of an error condition generated when an invalid
  REST response format is requested. For example if XML output is
  requested, but dicttoxml is not installed, we now return an
  error without doing any work.

* Fix an incorrect error report when a PUT REST request sets
  the user's email address to its current value.

* Add support for the ``defusedxml`` Python module to enhance
  security when using XML.

* Introduce the templating function:
  ``utils.set_http_response(integer)`` to set the HTTP return code
  directly from your template. This allows the template logic to
  return a 404 or other code when the user invokes a template
  incorrectly.

* Add a new ``registerUtilMethod('name', my_function)``. which
  makes it easier to define and use complex templating utilities.
  It passes a default argument that allows access to the client
  instance, translation functions, and other templating utility
  functions. Previously you had to pass the arguments explicitly
  when calling the utility from the template.

* Add the ability to generate native HTML date and
  number/integer inputs. Check the upgrading document for caveats.
  This feature is disabled by default.

* Re-enable support for GPG/PGP signed emails, which requires
  installation from the test PyPi repository.

The file CHANGES.txt has a detailed list of feature
additions and bug fixes for each release. The most recent
changes from there are at the end of this announcement. Also
see the information in doc/upgrading.txt.

If you find bugs, please report them to issues AT
roundup-tracker.org or create an account at
https://issues.roundup-tracker.org and open a new ticket. If
you have patches to fix the issues they can be attached to
the email or uploaded to the tracker.

Upgrading
=========

If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you
*must* follow all the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in
the doc/upgrading.txt documentation.

Note that you should run ``roundup-admin ... migrate`` for
all your trackers to update the database schema version. Do
this before you use the web, command-line or mail interface
and before any users access the tracker.

Roundup requires Python 3 newer than or equal to version 3.7 for
correct operation. (Python 3.4 or 3.5, or 3.6 may work, but are not
tested.) Note that Roundup 2.4.0 was the last release to support
Python 2. You should deploy new trackers with Python 3 and plan on
upgrading older trackers from Python 2 to Python 3. See the upgrade
guide.

You can install it with::

   pip install roundup

(preferably in a virtual environment). To download it, use::

   pip download roundup

then unpack and test/install from the tarball.

To give Roundup a try, just download (directions above),
unpack and run::

    python demo.py

then open the url printed by the demo app.

About Roundup
=============

Roundup is a simple-to-use and install issue-tracking system
with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on
the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software
Carpentry "Track" design competition.

Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties
such as "description", "priority", and so on) and provides
the ability to:

(a) submit new issues,
(b) find and edit existing issues, and
(c) discuss issues with other participants.

The system facilitates communication among the participants
by managing discussions and notifying interested parties
when issues are edited. One of the major design goals for
Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup is therefore
usable "out of the box" with any Python 3.7+
installation. It doesn't even need to be "installed" to be
operational, though an install script is provided.

It comes with five basic issue tracker templates

* a classic bug/feature tracker
* a more extensive devel tracker for bug/features etc.
* a responsive version of the devel tracker
* a jinja2 version of the devel template (work in progress)
* a minimal skeleton

and supports four database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, mysql
and postgresql).

Recent Changes
==============

From 2.4.0 to 2.5.0

Fixed:

- issue2551343 - Remove support for PySQLite. It is unmaintained
  and sqlite3 is used which is the default for a Python
  distribution.  (John Rouillard)
- replace use of os.listdir with os.scandir. Performance
  improvement.  Using with Python 2 requires 'pip install
  scandir'. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551131 - Return accept-patch if patch body not accepted
  (415 code). Accept-Patch returned with acceptable values. (John
  Rouillard)
- issue2551074 - In "responsive" template: click on hide comment leads
  to a red error msg. (Report by Ludwig Reiter; fix John Rouillard)
- issue2550698 - added documentation on filtering using RPN property
  expressions. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551372 - Better document necessary headers for REST and fix
  logging to log missing Origin header (Ralf Schlatterbeck with
  suggestions on documentation by John Rouillard)
- issue2551289 - Invalid REST Accept header with post/put performs
  change before returning 406. Error before making any changes to the
  db if we can't respond with requested format. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551356 - Add etag header when If-Modified-Since GET request
  returns not-modified (304). Breaking change to function signature
  for client.py-Client::_serve_file(). (John Rouillard)
- issue2551381 - roundup-server parses URI's with multiple '?"
  incorrectly. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551382 - invalid @verbose, @page_* values in rest uri's
  generate 409 not 400 error. (John Rouillard)
- fix issues with rest doc and use of PUT on a property item. Response
  is similar to use of PUT on the item, not a GET on the
  item. Discovered while fuzz testing. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551383 - Setting same address via REST PUT command results in
  an error. Now the userauditor does not trigger an error if a user
  sets the primary address to the existing value. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551253 - Modify password PBKDF2 method to use SHA512. The
  default password hashing algorithm has been upgraded to
  PBKDF2-SHA512 from PBKDF2-SHA1. The default pbkdf2 rounds in the
  config file has been changed to 250000. The admin should change it
  manually if it is at 2 million. PBKDF2-SHA512 (PBKDF2S5) has been
  available since release 2.3, but it required a manual step to make
  it the default. (John Rouillard)
- fixed a crash with roundup-admin perftest password when rounds not set
  on command line. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551374 - Add error handling for filter expressions. Filter
  expression errors are now reported. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551384: Modify flow in client.py's REST handler to verify
  authorization earlier. The validation order for REST requests
  has been changed. Checking user authorization to use the REST
  interface is done before validating the Origin header. As a
  result, incorrectly formatted CORS preflight requests
  (e.g. missing Origin header) can now return HTTP status 403 as
  well as status 400. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551387 - TypeError: not indexable. Fix crash due to
  uninitialized list element on a (Mini)FieldStorage when unexpected
  input is posted via wsgi. (Reported and debugged by Christof
  Meerwald; fix John Rouillard)
- close http socket and send a 408 status when a timeout exception
  is handed in roundup-server. This prevents another exception
  caused by using a timed out socket. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551391, partial fix for issue1513369. input fields were
  not getting id's assigned. Fixed automatic id assignment to
  input fields. Thinko in the code. (John Rouillard)
- issue1895197 - translated help texts in admin.py not displayed
  correctly. (Initial patch tobias-herp, John Rouillard)
- issue2551238 - roundup-server should exit with error if -d
  <pidfile> is used without -l <logfile>. Added code to report
  the issue. Added issue with relative paths for log file whn
  using -L and -d with roundup-server. (John Rouillard)
- Allow the specification of a "form" parameter for Date fields to make
  the popup calendar work when the enclosing form has a name different
  from "itemSynopsis". (Ralf Schlatterbeck)
- issue2551376: Fix tracebacks in item templates (Ralf Schlatterbeck)
- issue2551396: Use of os.path.stat.ST_MTIME in python 3.13 crashes
  roundup on windows. Replaced with equivalent stat.ST_MTIME. (Randy
  on IRC, fix: John Rouillard and R. David Murray (bitdancer))
- issue2551323: remove functions used for XHTML template
  support. XHTML was deprecated in Roundup 2.3.0 and an invalid value
  in 2.4.0. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551406: 'Templating Error: too many values to unpack' crash
  fixed. (reported by and patch Christof Meerwald, commit/test John
  Rouillard)
- fix potential HTTP Response Splitting issue in
  roundup-server. Discovered by CodeQL in CI. (John Rouillard)

Features:

- issue2551287 - Enhance roundup_gettext.py to extract strings from
  detectors/extensions. If the polib module is available,
  roundup-gettext will extract translatable strings from the tracker's
  Python code. If polib is missing, it will print a warning. (Patch
  Marcus Priesch, cleanup to remove python 2 issues, John Rouillard.)
- issue2551315 - Document use of
  RestfulInstance.max_response_row_size to limit data returned
  from rest request. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551330 - Add an optional 'filter' function to the Permission
  objects and the addPermission method. This is used to optimize search
  performance by not checking items returned from a database query
  one-by-one (using the check function) but instead offload the
  permission checks to the database. For SQL backends this performs the
  filtering in the database.  (Ralf Schlatterbeck)
- issue2551370 - mark roundup session cookie with __Secure-
  prefix. (John Rouillard)
- add -P flag to roundup-server to log client address from
  X-Forwarded-For reverse proxy header rather than connecting
  address. This logs the actual client address when
  roundup-server is run behind a reverse proxy. It also appends a
  + sign to the logged address/name. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551068 - Provide way to retrieve file/msg data via rest
  endpoint. Raw file/msg data can be retrieved using the
  /binary_content attribute and an Accept header to select the mime
  type for the data (e.g. image/png for a png file). The existing html
  interface method still works and is supported, but is legacy. (John
  Rouillard) 
- added fuzz testing for some code. Found issue2551382 and
  others. (John Rouillard)
- issue2551116 - Replace xmlrpclib (xmlrpc.client) with defusedxml.
  Added support for defusedxml to better secure the xmlrpc
  endpoint. (John Rouillard)
- Added new instance.registerUtilMethod() method to make using complex
  templating easier as it provides a default Client instance to the
  templating method. (John Rouillard)
- Added new templating utils.set_http_response(integer) method to
  allow reporting an error to the user from a template. (John
  Rouillard)
- issue2551390 - Replace text input/calendar popup with native
  date input. Also add double-click and exit keyboard handlers to
  allow copy/paste/editing the text version of the date. Configurable
  via the use_browser_date_input setting in the [web] section of
  config.ini. By default browser native dates are turned off.
  (John Rouillard, Ralf Schlatterbeck)
- Use native number type input for Number() and Integer()
  properties. Integer() uses step=1 as well. Configurable via the
  use_browser_number_input setting in the [web] section of config.ini.
  Set off by default. See
  https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2551398 for discussion of
  issues with native number inputs.  (John Rouillard, Ralf
  Schlatterbeck)
- issue2551231 - template.py-HTMLClass::classhelp doesn't merge
  user defined classes. It now merges them in. (John Rouillard)
- re-enable support for GPG/PGP encrypted emails using new python gpg
  package on the test pypi instance. (Paul Schwabauer)

[Roundup-devel] XSS vulnerability on trackers based on devel or responsive templates

[John R. <ro...@ie...>]

Hi all:

An XSS issue with trackers based on devel or responsive templates
have been reported. I am waiting on a CVE for it.

If you have a devel or responsive template based tracker (check the
Name field in the tracker's TEMPLATE-INFO.txt), you want to replace
this construct in your templates:

     tal:content="structure context/MUMBLE/plain"

with

     tal:content="context/MUMBLE/plain"

where 'MUMBLE' is something like 'title'.

In the original templates this construct is all on one line. If you
made modifications it may be split across lines. Make sure to fix
those too.

Note that this construct has not been used by the classic template
since at least 2009. If your tracker pre-dates 2009, you should check
to see if this construct is used.

I still expect to release Roundup 2.5.0 on Sunday.

Thanks to 4bug of ChaMd5 Security Team H1 Group who disclosed the issue.

[Roundup-devel] Release of Roundup 2.5.0beta1 (call for testing)

[John R. <ro...@ie...>]

Hi all:

The 2.5 beta release is out. Please try installing and testing.
See:

    https://pypi.org/project/roundup/2.5.0b1/

for the full announcement with changelog.

Installing using:

    python3 -m pip install --pre roundup

or

    python3 -m pip install roundup==2.5.0b1


should work.

Known issues:

   man pages are not installed in html form
   roundup-admin help test not installed in html form
   config.ini docs not updated to the newest version

There are 41 changes since 2.4.0. Version 2.5.0b1
does not support Python 2. Python 3.6 should work, but it
has been removed from CI so it is not tested anymore.

Among the notable improvements in 2.5.0 from the 2.4.0
release are:

* detect more errors in RPN search expressions. Return more
  useful error messages. Documented (advanced) RPN search expressions
  in the user guide.

* change default password hash method to PBKDF2 with SHA512. You
  may need to reset password_pbkdf2_default_rounds to a lower
  value. See upgrading doc.

* add filter function to Permission objects. This pushes some
  permission checks down to the SQL database and speeds up display of
  index pages.

* fix crash bug on windows with Python 3.13

* update doc on required REST headers. Also other docs updates.

* detect error condition early when we can't respond with requested
  REST format response (e.g. xml is requested).

* do not generate an error if a PUT REST request sets the user's
  address to the current value.

* make ``roundup-gettext`` extract translatable strings from detectors
  and extensions.

* improve security of session cookies by marking them with the magic
  ``__Secure__`` prefix.

* make the rest endpoint return raw message or file content data. Use
  the ``binary_content`` endpoint and a suitable ``Accept``` header in
  the request.

* add support for the ``defusedxml`` Python module to improve security when
  using XML.

* add templating function: ``utils.set_http_response(integer)`` to set
  HTTP return code from your template.

* add generation of native HTML date and number/integer inputs. See
  Upgrading for caveats this is disabled by default.

* re-enable support for GPG/PGP signed emails. Requires installing
  from the test PyPi repository.

* remove XHTML support simplifying the code base

The release of 2.5.0 is expected on July 13th.

Enjoy.

[Roundup-devel] [issue2551406] Templating Error: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

[Christof M. <is...@ro...>]

New submission from Christof Meerwald:

In cgi/client.py we have:

        # determine if view is oktmpl|errortmpl. If so assign the
        # right one to the view parameter. If we don't have alternate
        # templates, just leave view alone.
        if (view and view.find('|') != -1):
            # we have alternate templates, parse them apart.
            (oktmpl, errortmpl) = view.split("|", 2)

Presumably, the last line should be:

            (oktmpl, errortmpl) = view.split("|", 1)

to avoid a ValueError exception when there is more than one "|".

This can be triggered by something like

  ?%40template=forgotten%7c%7x

as a query parameter.

Yesterday I was debugging a new deployment under uwsgi (behind apache aka httpd on redhat) which failed with a 500 error without any further information. Took me a long time and I resorted to print debugging to find the cause.

It turned out that the local templates in the tracker (in the locale directory) were not translated, i.e., the .mo files were missing.

By default the i18n framework will try to compile the .mo files but when they're not writeable it can't. But of course when deploying behind a webserver we do not want anything to be writeable by the webserver user.

This might be related to issue2551225, seems the error-handling is sub-optimal in wsgi.

Note that normal tracebacks make it to the uwsgi log in my setup. So if there was a traceback I should have seen it. Instead I got nothing at all.

This happens inside RequestDispatcher in cgi/wsgi_handler.py which in turn calls the Client constructor in cgi/client.py and proceeds to call client.main which in turn calls client.inner_main.

inner_main calls
- self.determine_user
- self.determine_context
- self.determine_language
all inside a try/except clause.

It looks like it never comes back from determine_language but this might be due to an ignored IOError in the try/except:

            except IOError:
                # IOErrors here are due to the client disconnecting before
                # receiving the reply.
                pass

So we probably should have more error-checking here, the assumption that IOError is only due to a client disconnect seems to be wrong. Note that this may also be the root-cause of issue2551225 where it seems we're also ignoring an I/O error (generated from a different execution path, though).

I changed the password, set the role to Anonymous, and retired the
user who sent this.

There is a bug dealing with smart quotes and some other unicode values
in roundup 1.6.
My guess is it raised an error preventing the creation of an issue
from this message.
It left behind a temporary message file on the tracker and sent a
notification email, but did
not create an actual issue. So nothing else to clean up.

It's running on PSF equipment, not sourceforge. At the moment only the main

We are running 1.6.1 there, so no REST capability 8-(.

To prevent new signups from spamming, should we change the default permissions
for a new user to Anonymous and have an admin change to User as needed?

If we do this, we should set up a detector for new user creation so we know
when somebody has created a new account. If we get a lot of spam accounts,
we may have to do the same as the wiki and add users on request to the
mailing lists.
I don't want to have to do a full manual user setup but we may need to
if we have many
accounts created.

We could also use a couple of more volunteers as admin/coordinator users.

Other thoughts on how to handle the spam registration?

This is a new flake8 rule which happens in CI with 3.10 or newer, 3.6/3.8

Consider suppressing it as the error is flagged in cgi.py which is vendored

[Roundup-devel] [issue2551398] Browser number input

[Ralf S. <is...@ro...>]

New submission from Ralf Schlatterbeck:

With the new web-interface default that the browser number input is used by default we see problems entering numbers with digits after the decimal point. The reason is probably that the browser with a german (or austrian) locale insists that a number must contain digits after a decimal *comma* (german and austrian locales have a decimal comma not a decimal point). Which in turn cannot be parsed by roundup's mechanisms. So we can neither enter a decimal comma (because the cgi mechanisms cannot parse this) nor a decimal point (because the browser won't let us). When, e.g., entering "3.5" the browser issues the message "Please enter a valid value. The two nearest valid values are 3 and 4."

So I guess we should make the config-setting
use_browser_number_input
defaulting to "no" not "yes" as it currently doesn't work for non-english locales

It might also be that some browsers allow only integers or that I've made an error when refactoring the html generation with the new config variable. I've not investigated further. The browser in use is probably Chrome.

IIRC it was Subversion before Mercurial. There was a short interval
where there was a git conversion.
But many of the developers at the time wanted mercurial instead
because of the poor DX of git at the time.
I am not sure how many of the devs were also Python devs as well.

As a long time Tryton user I just want to put into perspective, that I have to
contradict the overall good experience. At least for parts of the Tryton project
https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton is almost untolerable slow. May be that
is caused by a somewhat bigger mono repos/project, but the fact is that it is no
fun to work there.

Another perspective (and for sure I don't want to open the can of worms of
another mercurial/git flamewar!) would be to return rather to the roots of the
project which was IIRC in git. I am aware about the switch from git to mercurial
(mostly?) to follow the development of Python as long as roundup was used as
their tracker and they used mercurial as SCM. Both facts are history.
So whenever it should be question to move the base of this project elsewhere I
would always rather recommend to switch to the existing git mirror which then
also could be moved/mirrored more easily to/on other known free git forges.

Really just my 2¢,
Mathias

What benefit does it provide? The only one I can see is that we could
commit to heptapod's mercurial repo
and trigger a CI build. However, without replacing sourceforge's
mercurial repo, it's still a separate step to
trigger CI which is the same as the current github workflow.

The current hg<->git mechanism is a bit annoying to set up, but it has
worked for years without
issues for me.

We would not be able to delete our sourceforge instance. That's where
the mailing lists are hosted and
we have no way to transfer the mailing lists to a new provider.

I claim we would want to maintain our instance on github as it is the
default directory for open source
software. Having an entry on github reduced the friction when
proposing graduate student projects
for the spring 2024 semester (which resulted in the new class helper).

We have a working CI infrastructure using travis-ci, github actions and
circle-ci on the github clone. Also we integrate with codecov and
coveralls. All of those would have to
be made to work with heptapod. I am not sure if there is native
support for those integrations.

Removing infrastructure from the US is a good secondary goal, but even
that does not really make
the case for spinning up new infrastructure that we would need to
maintain/manage (e.g. adding new users,
security groups etc.).

[Roundup-devel] Move to https://foss.heptapod.net/ ?

[Bernhard R. <ber...@in...>]

Hi John, hi Ralf,

just an idea, we could consider moving our repo to

  https://foss.heptapod.net/

it offers Mercurial SCM, runners and a good experience
based on Gitlab CC and hosted in France. 

E.g. see https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton/-/pipelines

We at Intevation have good experiences with the sister hosting offering at
https://heptapod.host/intevation/
since a few years.

I believe that the pipeline features are even better than what github offers.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
