Package: wnpp Severity: normal I would appreciate help with the bastille package, a security tool to lockdown systems.
The current version in Debian (3.0.9) was heavily modified to work in Debian but, alas, patches were sent but not incorporated upstream. The latest upstream version (3.2.1) was released in September 2008. Upstream is no longer active with this tool and no updates are forthcoming. In any case, the Bastille tool could be rather useful to Debian users if it could allow them to easily implement most of the steps required to secure a Debian system (some of which are described in the Securing Debian Manual [1]). Steps that I would need help with: - Move over Bastille in Debian to an Alioth Project and push to SVN or GIT all the different releases - Separate Debian-specific patches from the original sources (turn to quilt or other patch-handling tool) - Update the Debian API for 3.2.1 - Test and get out a 3.2.1 release for Debian Regards Javier [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/index.en.html
