Bug#767021: unblock: volatility/2.4-1



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock the package volatility. This package is very important for
forensics activities, allowing a full memory analysis.

The current version, that adds support to Windows 8 memory dumps (and others)
was released in end of August. This is a complex program and I spent time doing
several tests and talking with the developers. Another point is that I needed
to submit a new dependency, distorm3, to NEW and it was accepted on 2014-10-19
(I sent to NEW in 2014-09-20). I delayed the packaging because the upstream
changed his site (from GitHub to another place[1]) and I had no information
about this change and a new version via watch file.

I uploaded the final package yesterday (Sunday) and I need one day only to get
it in testing. So, please, reduce the migration time to 5 days.

The package is fully tested, clean and working fine. The changelog can be
viewed here[2].

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Eriberto
