* The "WTF are they smoking up there?" release
* Rework initscript to detect yet another new alias for the
hw_random. Now udev rules want to call it hwrng. I love how
these things keep changing for no good reason.

rng-tools (2-unofficial-mt.9-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New unofficial version:
* Support for different input drivers
* Add new high-performance (several Mbit/s) VIA PadLock TRNG
user-space driver. This work was sponsored by mekensleep.com,
in particular by Loic Dachary. Mekensleep gave me unlimited
access to a VIA Nehemiah system that they bought for this purpose,
and which I am told will be available for the general community
after the rngd work is stablized.
* --trng=intel renamed to --trng=intelfwh (because Intel may show up
with something to compete with VIA's PadLock security engine)
* --trng=via renamed to --trng=viakernel
* Add NEWS.Debian file to report user-visible changes in behaviour
* Minor README.Debian improvements and fixes
* Detect running kernel version, and work around kernel 2.4 bugs in
entropy accounting

rng-tools (2-unofficial-mt.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New unofficial version:
* select() and poll() don't always work with /dev/hwrandom
Thus, even non-blocking IO is a no-go. Add SIGALRM functionality
that is pthread-aware to rngd, and use that to implement --rng-timeout.
* rngd_linux.c: implement --feed-interval in a portable way
* better thread-safety when logging messages
* Better watch file using prdownloads.sf.net as primary source of version
information

rng-tools (2-unofficial-mt.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New unofficial version:
* Deprecate --timeout, rename it to --feed-interval
* rngd_linux.c: use select() instead of poll(), so that we do not
lose track of --feed-interval (non-portable to non-Linux kernels)
* Document in rngd(8) that --fill-watermark now takes percentage values
and defaults to 50%
* Implement --rng-timeout, default 10s, so that we can detect a RNG that
is silent/disabled

rng-tools (2-unofficial-mt.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version
+ No real changes, upstream just accepted Debian patches
+ Added Jeff Garzik to copyright notice for rngd
* New unofficial version
* Get kernel entropy pool size from /proc, and use that to allow
the user to specify --fill-watermark in percentage values relative
to the pool size, as well as in absolute bit size
* Limit --fill-watermark dynamically to the kernel entropy pool size
(closes: #274479)
* Better input validation when processing command line parameters
* Cosmetic changes to code (signed/unsigned cleanups, plus some
other code/formatting cleanups)
* Minor manpage typos and formatting fixes
* Add myself to copyright notice for rngd, due to the threading code,
and all the other small features
* Log PID to syslog
* Make sure we do have work to do before we leave the sink and FIPS
thread startup code
* Sync rngtest "entropy source returned EOF" message to be the same
as rngd's
* Add watch file for uscan/DEHS
* Use automake 1.9 in build
* Minor updates to debian/copyright
* Update logcheck.ignore for LOG_PID logging, and force-feed the ignore
file to violations.ignore.d/ to workaround logcheck braindamage

rng-tools (1.1-unofficial-mt.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New unofficial version:
* Initialize statistics early in rngd.c
* Switch to arch: any. I figure that at least ppc, ia32, ia64 and
amd64/x86_64 may benefit from this package (although I do not know of a
TRNG for the PPC). One could also generate the random numbers elsewhere
and store them in a (big) file, at which point anything that runs Linux
would be able to use this package with the TRNG output file
(closes: #252535);
* Minor updates to package description, and README.Debian.
* Urgency medium, to get a bug-free version in testing ASAP

rng-tools (1.1-unofficial-mt-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Major batch of enhancements from yours thruly. Not yet merged
upstream, right now consider this a temporary fork (the merge IS
ongoing). Do not bother upstream with bugs against this package.
The new functionality may change, depending on upstream merge;
ChangeLog:
+ Use multithreading to increase the available bandwidth, now rngd can
read, process FIPS tests, and feed the kernel at the same time;
+ Store data on buffers, that can be operated independently by the
threads. Default to triple-buffering;
+ Lock memory used as buffers of random data;
+ Add statistics, based on ideas from mtrngd.cpp by Martin Peck
<coderman@charter.net>;
+ Detect and deal with TRNGs stuck in a failing state, using an
exponential backoff and eventually giving up and exiting;
+ Revamped manpage extensively;
+ Configure /dev/random, /dev/hwrandom and pidfile location using
autoconf, to avoid hardcoded defaults;
+ Work on systems using kernel 2.6 (closes: #243319)
* Add logcheck ignore rules;
* Update README.Debian to reflect new functionality in the package;
* Update package description and short description a bit;
* Use --name and --start-as instead of --exec in initscript;
* postinst: ignore exit status of initscript on start (closes: #239810)
(yes, I have changed my mind about the issue).

rng-tools (1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream source:
+ New rngtest by yours thruly
+ Improved FIPS tests
* Minor update to README.Debian;
* Separate recommended options by TRNG type in /etc/default/rng-tools;
* Fix initscript to properly wait for rngd to exit on stop/restart;
* Update copyright file;
* Version dependency on a makedev that knows about intel_rng (since
hwrandom isn't available yet), and add alternative dependency on udev.
Remove useless dependency on devfsd.
-- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org> Tue, 6 Apr 2004 11:13:34 -0300
rng-tools (1.0-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove all hand-holding about /dev/hwrandom from initscript.
Instead, try to detect which device we should be using. Also,
add an /etc/default/rng-tools, and use it (closes: #235045);
* Add some helpful hints to README.Debian
* Change n for the continuous run test to 32, due to AMD's RNG. This
is still FIPS 140-1 compliant for smaller block RNGs, anyway. It
will reduce false positives on Intel's RNG as well;
* Add --rng-entropy (-H) option;
* Add note in description about what this package is about. Add
explanation about PRNGs and TRNGs in README.Debian (closes: #235752).

* And some enhancements to the upstream code, from yours thruly:
+ Use new automake and autoconf, and enable AM_MAINTAINER_MODE;
+ Fix rngd to also do the FIPS 140-1 continuous run test;
+ Add pidfile control;
+ Improve manpage;
* Rename package to rng-tools;
* Ack NMUs:
+ closes: #101389;
* Lots of changes in the packaging, including:
+ Drop partial DevFS support (patches are welcome to implement it
_properly_). DevFS users must add the required links or modify the
initscript themselves (closes: #197506 since it is now irrelevant);
+ Standards-version 3.6.1;
+ Debhelper mode 4;
+ Rewrite README.Debian, and add section about Intel RNGs (contributions
on other RNGs are welcome);
+ Rewrite copyright file to something that is valid;
+ Update initscript to something more proper for an important system
service.
