RFS: fsprotect
Dear mentors,
I am looking for guidance and a sponsor for my package "fsprotect".
* Package name : fsprotect
Version : 1.0.1
Upstream Author : Stefanos Harhalakis <v13@v13.gr> (me)
* URL : not available yet
* License : GPL
Section : admin
It builds these binary packages:
fsprotect - Helper scripts to make filesystems immutable
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fsprotect
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fsprotect/fsprotect_1.0.1.dsc
For convenience I summarize that: This is a package that protects existing
filesystems (even /) using aufs with very little configuration.
I've made all changes that were requested except from one: The package still
creates a directory named /fsprotect:
* You suggested to create this directory somewhere under /lib instead of /:
* I believe that perhaps having a directory under / may be justified since
there will be some (more than two) filesystems mounted under it (two for each
protected partition) and it must pre-exist in the root partition.
* I'm not sure if /lib is the right place for this
* According to FHS 2.3, /lib is used for "Essential shared libraries and
kernel modules", which doesn't fit the requirements of fsprotect.
So I ask for further guidance on this. Should I
a) Use /fsprotect
b) Use /lib/fsprotect
c) Use another directory (which?)
?
Also, I'm still looking for a sponsor.
Kind regards
Stefanos Harhalakis
