Bug#382896: RFP: sync2cd -- incremental archiving tool to CD/DVD
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: sync2cd Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Remy Blank <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.calins.ch/software/sync2cd.html * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python 2.4 Description : incremental archiving tool to CD/DVD sync2cd is an incremental archiving tool. It allows backing up complete filesystem hierarchies to multiple backup media (e.g. CD-R). Files are archived incrementally, i.e. only new or changed files are stored during an archive operation. All entity types are supported: directories, files, symlinks, named pipes, sockets, block and character devices. Ownership and permissions can be saved and restored. sync2cd does not use any archive formats (like dar or tar) or compression: it just writes the files to CD. This gives maximum transparency on the archive media: you don't need sync2cd to restore your data (although it helps), and the media contents can be easily cataloged. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (200, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#187566: digikam: what's up?
What's the status of this package, please? A lot of people want to use it, and at least one other person has offered to package it, way back in July.
Bug#216031: ITP: rng-tools -- Daemon to use the hardware RNG on x86 motherboards
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: rng-tools Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Jeff Garzik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/ * License : GPL Description : Daemon to use a hardware RNG This package provides rngd, a daemon that feeds data from a random number generator to the kernel's random number entropy pool, after first checking the data to ensure that it is properly random. By default rngd gets its random data from /dev/hwrandom. /dev/hwrandom is provided by the hw_random kernel module, which supports the hardware RNGs in Intel, AMD and VIA CPUs, with recent chipsets. However, rngd can collect its data from any suitably random source. This package supersedes the intel-rng-tools package, which is no longer being maintained. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux helium 2.6.0-test4 #1 Wed Oct 15 05:15:59 EDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
Bug#214926: ITA: intel-rng-tools -- Daemon to use the RNG on i810 motherboards
intel-rng-tools needs updating: - intel-rng-tools have been renamed to rng-tools (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel). - rng-tools is now available in version 1.0, which includes support for AMD and VIA processors, as well as newer Intel 8xx chipsets. (Most of this was probably available in v 0.9.1, but at least it needs to be documented.) - The package has exactly one outstanding bug. It's easily fixed by updating the device name for the hardware RNG. - The documentation is two years out of date and contains many inaccuracies, e.g. in device names, kernel module names, and hardware requirements. - The existing package doesn't include the diagnostic tools randstat and rngtest. I have no particular familiarity with rngd, but I'm interested to learn and would like to use it myself. So I'd like to bring the package up to date.
