Bug#858155: RFS: stenc/1.0.7-1 [ITP]



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

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

* Package name    : stenc
  Version         : 1.0.7-1
  Upstream Author : John Coleman
* URL             : https://sourceforge.net/projects/stenc/
* License         : GPLv2
  Section         : admin

It builds those binary packages:
  stenc - SCSI Tape Encryption Manager

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
  https://mentors.debian.net/package/stenc

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/stenc/stenc_1.0.7-1.dsc

More information about stenc can be obtained from https://sourceforge.net/projects/stenc/

At the moment Debian is missing a tool which would alow users to utilise 
hardware encryption in their tape drives. Stenc manages encryption on capable
LTO tape drives with hardware-based encryption. Program should work on any
other SSP capable tape drives. Built specifically for Linux and AIX. Now supports
key change auditing and key descriptors (uKAD). I have been using this tool with
LTO-6 drive for some time and I think Debian would benefit from having it packaged.

Regards,
  Denys Berkovskyy
