Package: gtkhtml4.0
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The hardening flags are missing because CDBS can't use
DEB_*_MAINT_APPEND and DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS directly but needs
buildflags.mk.

The following patch fixes that, it also uses +all to
automatically enable (possible) future hardening flags.

To check if all flags were correctly enabled you can use
`hardening-check` from the hardening-includes package and check
the build log (hardening-check doesn't catch everything):

    $ hardening-check /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-editor-4.0.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgtkhtml-4.0.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgtkhtml-editor-4.0.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-4.0.so.0.0.0
    /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-editor-4.0.so.0.0.0:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: no, not found!
     Fortify Source functions: unknown, no protectable libc functions used
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: yes
    /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgtkhtml-4.0.so.0.0.0:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: yes
     Fortify Source functions: unknown, not linked against libc
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: no not found!
    /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgtkhtml-editor-4.0.so.0.0.0:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: no, not found!
     Fortify Source functions: unknown, not linked against libc
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: no not found!
    /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-4.0.so.0.0.0:
     Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
     Stack protected: yes
     Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found)
     Read-only relocations: yes
     Immediate binding: yes

(Position Independent Executable and Immediate binding is not
enabled by default.)

Use find -type f \( -executable -o -name \*.so\* \) -exec
hardening-check {} + on the build result to check all files.

Regards,
Simon
