We would like to hear from users that have applications that are
dependent on TPM 1.2. This will be used to help determine whether or
not to include TrouSerS in newer Linux distro releases. If you do have
a continued need for trousers, but downloading it from sourceforge and
building it yourself is sufficient for your needs, that would also be
helpful to know.
I can say that compiling software manually like that is a major problem
for commercial users. The benefits for having TPM 1.2 support in
the distributions is quite clear in my opinion as they don't need to
review the licensing terms on their own, handle updates manually and can
report packaging bugs. Overall this results in more secure solutions. Now
that TPM usage is slowly gathering momentum itwould be really shame to
drop the support before we really have TPM 2.0 on most existing systems.
I'm packaging tboot for Debian. I could perhaps also help with Debian
packaging of trousers if needed.
