Debian already has the apg package, which purports to do the same thing and is a compiled C binary, so doesn't have the various problems with grep. Is the readability of the passwords generated by rpg really sufficiently better than than apg's pronounceable password generation algorithm to warrant yet another package? apg uses Morrie Gasser's algorithm from A Random Word Generator For Pronounceable Passwords (National Technical Information Service (NTIS) AD-A-017676). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
