volatility-profiles_20131121-1_amd64.changes REJECTED
Hi Paul!
Thanks a lot for your message. I am the maintainer and upstream of the package.
The tarball content was generated by volatility[1]. Volatility is a
program to analyse RAM dumps and needs profiles to understand each
kernel version. The README of the volatility says:
---------------------------------------------------
2. INFORMATIONS
More informations about the use and how to make your profiles are available at
http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/LinuxMemoryForensics.
---------------------------------------------------
A volatility directory has a .c and a Makefile reponsible to generate
each profile in each Linux distribution. The main idea of the package
is make available profiles to several Linux kernels in some
distributions. So, the source are the kernel headers and
/usr/share/volatility/tools/ directory. See:
$ tree /usr/share/volatility/tools/
/usr/share/volatility/tools/
??? linux
? ??? Makefile
? ??? module.c
? ??? pmem
? ??? Makefile
? ??? pmem.c
??? mac
? ??? convert.py
? ??? convert.pyc
??? vtype_diff.py
??? vtype_diff.pyc
Is it sufficient? If not, how to make the package DFSG compliant?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Eriberto
