Bug#835368: RFS: confinedrv/1.7.7-3 [ITP] -- Hi everyone!
Package: sponsorship-requests
Subject: RFS: confinedrv/1.7.7-3 [ITP] -- Hi everyone!
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "confinedrv":
* Package name : confinedrv
Version : 1.7.7-3
Upstream Author : Elmar Stellnberger <estellnb@elstel.org>
* URL : https://www.elstel.org/qemu
* License : C-FSL v1.0
Section : utils
It is a little script with a man page wrapped into a package:
confinedrv - mirror an existing drive but with confined access
rights on a per-partition basis (ro/rw/zero/err); there is also a
possibilty to use image files for the MBR as well as individual paritions.
Every now and then I receive an email of people who like and
successfully deploy the program. That is why I think it would be
beneficial to promote this little helper script for device mapper into
Debian and other distributions. It also shows that the script has proven
quite useful in many situations.
To access further information about this package, you may also visit
the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/confinedrv
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget [-x]
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/confinedrv/confinedrv_1.7.7-3.dsc
Information about confinedrv can be obtained from the documentation
that ships with the package as well as online under
https://www.elstel.org/qemu.
What will also need to be analysed:
The license in use, C-FSL v1.0 will still need to be reviewed. A
predecessor license C-FSL v0.8 had already been discussed on
debian-legal some time ago. However v1.0 has been reworked basing
on the input I had received from there and should now hopefully be
without issues. If you decide to review the license do not do it
just for confinedrv but for all programs offered by elstel.org:
bundsteg (printing with inner margin), xchroot (chroot for X11),
debcheckroot (security aware alternative for debsums), dbschemacmd (tool
to normalize database schemata), coan for Linux/Qt (coming soon;
simulate deterministic / non-deterministic FA, PDA, Turing Machines)
pubkey and SHA512SUMS.signed for all programs at elstel.org
(DNSSEC/DANE supported) can be found at:
https://www.elstel.org/software/SHA512SUMS.signed
https://www.elstel.org/auxil/estellnb.pubkey.asc
( also: https://www.elstel.org/auxil/estellnb-offline.pubkey.asc )
Changes since the last upload:
none; this package has been uploaded newly.
Kind Regards,
Elmar Stellnberger
