Bug#773861: RFS: signify-openbsd/7-1 [ITP] -- Lightweight cryptographic signing and verifying tool

2014-12-25 Thread Riley Baird 
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "signify-openbsd"

 * Package name: signify-openbsd
   Version : 7-1
   Upstream Author : Adrian Perez 
 * URL : https://github.com/aperezdc/signify
 * License : BSD
   Section : utils

 Similar to GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), signify is the tool which
 OpenBSD uses to cryptographically sign its releases, so that
 you can be sure that you are actually getting a release made by
 OpenBSD, as opposed to a malicious forgery designed to look
 the same.

 Signify's usage is not limited to OpenBSD's releases, however -
 it can be used to sign any software.

 So that it will work on Linux, the version of signify provided
 in this package is not exactly the same as the version provided
 in OpenBSD's CVS tree; however the upstream changes are
 frequently merged.

  It builds those binary packages:

signify-openbsd - Lightweight cryptographic signing and verifying tool

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following
URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/signify-openbsd


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/signify-openbsd
/signify-openbsd_7-1.dsc

  More information about signify-openbsd can be obtained from
http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/signify

  Changes since the last upload:

  * Initial release (Closes: #773850)


  Regards,
   Riley Baird

Bug#767583: kfreebsd-10: ar9300_devid.h license restricts modification

Honestly, I doubt that it is copyrightable, but I think that I'll
leave that judgement up to the FTP Masters.

Linux upstream provides all firmware in a separate tree due to GPL
requirements. Strangely enough, it seems that they are still
distributing the closed-source firmware instead of
open-ath9k-htc-firmware (which is where the license problem was
discovered).

I hadn't contacted FreeBSD upstream about this before, but I just have
now. If you're subscribed to this bug, you should have received a copy
of the message.

Hi!

The license of two files in the ath_hal driver appears to restrict
modification. The two files are:
/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar9003/ar9300_devid.h
/sys/contrib/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar9300/ar9300_devid.h
