Bug#675532: RFS: bilibop/0.1 (ITP #675467)

[bilibop project <quidame@poivron.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "bilibop"

 * Package name: bilibop
    Version: 0.1
    Upstream Author: bilibop project <quidame@poivron.org>
 * URL: https://poivron.org/~quidame/bilibop_project/
 * License: GPL-3.0+
   Section: admin

It builds those binary packages:

 bilibop - run Debian from external media - metapackage
 bilibop-common - shell functions for bilibop scripts
 bilibop-lockfs - lock filesystems and write changes into RAM
 bilibop-rules - udev rules for OS running from external media

  To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/bilibop


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bilibop/bilibop_0.1.dsc

To know more:

The bilibop suite is designed to help admins to maintain a Debian OS installed
on a removable and writable media. One of its main goals is to fix security
issues or harden standard rules and policies, to make the system more robust in
this particular situation.

bilibop-common functions use proc, sysfs and udev databases to query
informations about block devices. The drivemap command shows them in a tree of
dependencies.

bilibop-rules fixes bug #645466: using the bilibop-common functions, the udev
rules file fixes the external disk hosting the running system, and all its
partitions, as members of the 'disk' group instead of 'floppy'; dm-crypt, LVM,
loop devices and aufs root filesystems (and any combination of them) are
supported.

bilibop-lockfs can be used as an alternative to the 'fsprotect' package
(especially for OS on USB stick), with additional features:
        - whitelist based configuration: all is protected but the listed
fs/mountpoints
        - not only filesystems are set readonly, but also block devices
        - swap device management
        - notifications are send to the user about filesystems status (about
temporary or permanent changes)

Thanks for your attention
quidame
