Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "fsprotect".
* Package name : fsprotect Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Stefanos Harhalakis <v...@v13.gr> (me) * URL : http://www.v13.gr/ (not available yet) * License : GPL Section : admin It builds these binary packages: fsprotect - Helper scripts to make the filesystems immutable The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 520765 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fsprotect - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fsprotect/fsprotect_1.0.0.dsc This is a set of scripts that combine aufs and tmpfs and make the root and other filesystems immutable. Existing filesystems are re-mounted as read-only and all changes go to tmpfs. This is a great help for public computers like those in labs, libraries, etc.. It's usage is as simple as: # apt-get install fsprotect - add fsprotect kernel parameter - reboot I'm using this technique for more than 2 years in a couple of labs and it works really nice. I've made this a native debian package since it is 100% targeted for debian. It requires integration for each distribution so it cannot be a generic package. This package ignores some lintian errors/warnings. I believe that all of them are justified: non-standard-toplevel-dir fsprotect/ : This is required for fsprotect to work. This directory must exist in the root filesystem. fsprotect: no-debconf-config : There is no need for debconf config file. It only needs to display a warning message/note. If this is not OK I'll remove the note completely. fsprotect: postinst-uses-db-input : This is for displaying the note. fsprotect: possible-debconf-note-abuse postinst:39 fsprotect/kernel_parameter : That's the note fsprotect: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends : This package is never going to be a build dependency for other packages, so this should be OK. init.d-script-does-not-implement-required-option /etc/init.d/fsprotect force-reload : It is imposible to provide a force-reload or restart option. Even the stop is a no-op. init.d-script-does-not-implement-required-option /etc/init.d/fsprotect restart : Same as above package-contains-empty-directory fsprotect/system/ package-contains-empty-directory fsprotect/tmp/ : Those directories are required p.s. Please CC me. I'm not subscribed to the list. Kind regards Stefanos Harhalakis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
