I'm interested in rng-tools and would like to see it in good shape for buster, but the current state makes me uncomfortable. Could you please update me on what the current state is since this bug report was opened? Have any progress been made or attempted that isn't tracked here? The initial changelog entry of rng-tools5 states: "This is part of an intended transition, with this package becoming the default rng-tools post stretch release." That has apparently failed to materialize well in time for buster. Looking at the contents of the binary packages it seems rng-tools (in unstable) has more contents and likely provides more functionality/integration (but I haven't looked into details, eg. rng-tools5 has no /etc/default file which might be a good thing as those are generally frowed upon in the current systemd service age, but has there been any work on actual migration of current rng-tools users configuration to what rng-tools5 uses?) I'd be really interested to hear what people have on their minds for this task and how I can help out. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
