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).
