-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 09:01:35 -0300 Source: rng-tools Binary: rng-tools Architecture: source i386 Version: 1.1-unofficial-mt-1 Distribution: experimental Urgency: low Maintainer: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org> Changed-By: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org> Description: rng-tools - Daemon to use a Hardware TRNG Closes: 239810 243319 Changes: rng-tools (1.1-unofficial-mt-1) experimental; urgency=low . * Major batch of enhancements from yours thruly. Not yet merged upstream, right now consider this a temporary fork (the merge IS ongoing). Do not bother upstream with bugs against this package. The new functionality may change, depending on upstream merge; ChangeLog: + Use multithreading to increase the available bandwidth, now rngd can read, process FIPS tests, and feed the kernel at the same time; + Store data on buffers, that can be operated independently by the threads. Default to triple-buffering; + Lock memory used as buffers of random data; + Add statistics, based on ideas from mtrngd.cpp by Martin Peck <coderman@charter.net>; + Detect and deal with TRNGs stuck in a failing state, using an exponential backoff and eventually giving up and exiting; + Revamped manpage extensively; + Configure /dev/random, /dev/hwrandom and pidfile location using autoconf, to avoid hardcoded defaults; + Work on systems using kernel 2.6 (closes: #243319) * Add logcheck ignore rules; * Update README.Debian to reflect new functionality in the package; * Update package description and short description a bit; * Use --name and --start-as instead of --exec in initscript; * postinst: ignore exit status of initscript on start (closes: #239810) (yes, I have changed my mind about the issue).
