Bug#813765: ITP: libica -- hardware cryptography support for IBM System z hardware



Package: wnpp
Owner: Dimitri John Ledkov <xnox@ubuntu.com>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : libica
  Version         : 2.5.0
  Upstream Author : openCryptoki project, IBM Corp
* URL or Web page : http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencryptoki/files/libica/
* License         : Common Public License V1.0
  Description     : hardware cryptography support for IBM System z hardware

I would like to package libica 2.5.0 component of openCryptoki project
for s390x Debian port. This is a userspace support library, that
provides hardware accelerated cryptography in userspace, with fallbacks
when hardware acceleration is not available. This is part of the
dependency stack to provide e.g. accelerated openssl on s390x.

Improved description for the debian/control file are welcomed, as I lack
literacy skills to write those nicely. Currently I have:

"""

 libica library provides hardware acceleration for cryptographic
  functions and is part of the openCryptoki project.
"""

Regards,

Dimitri.
