Bug#1042827: ITP: priv-wrapper -- library to disable resource limits and other privilege dropping



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Hi!  I am planning to package priv-wrapper:

   https://cwrap.org/priv_wrapper.html

   priv_wrapper aims to help running processes which are dropping
   privileges or are restricting resources in test environments. A
   disabled call always succeeds (i.e. returns 0) and does nothing. The
   system call pledge exists only on OpenBSD.

It is similar in spirit as the rest of the cwrap projects -- see
https://cwrap.org/ -- and several seems to be packaged in Debian:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nss-wrapper
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/uid-wrapper
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/socket-wrapper
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pam-wrapper

The license appears to be GPLv3+.

/Simon
