Hi, Andrew. 

We would like to keep the ITP. If you saw the logs, Javi, the official owner,  
granted that for us. :)

What do you think to work on RazorBack and us in the Snare? I saw that Filip 
Van Raemdonck (Is he your advocate?) closed the ITP from Gleydson Mazioli, my 
partner in this project, and I believe that your could wait a little bit more. 
Best regards,

Bug#160004: Regarding your Debian ITPs to Snare

2002-11-13 Thread Andrew Lau
Dear Michelle,
The real problem at the moment is that NONE of us can package
SNARE in its current state. That's what I was saying in the last
email. I've been talking about this with Leigh Purdie (upstream) on a
weekly basis.
SNARE can no longer work with 2.4.18+ kernels because they've
internalised the sys_call_table facility, meaning that external
modules can no longer hook into the kernel's system calls to provide
C2 auditing. If it wasn't for this, I would have released a package
ages ago! I wasn't exactly counting on someone else filing an ITP on
the meantime, but I'll be happy to cooperate with you guys on SNARE
and other InterSect tools in future.
So pretty much, we'll all have to wait for InterSect with Alan
Cox and the Red Hat kernel team to get some patches accepted into the
kernel or made publicly available before any of us can get SNARE
packaged. I'll keep you up to date if anymore news comes to hand.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew Netsnipe Lau
