Bug#976402: Proposed official virtual packages - todo and todo.txt

2020-12-04 Thread David Steele
Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, charlesmel...@outlook.com,
  on...@debian.org
thanks


I'd like to propose adding the virtual packages "todo" and "todo.txt" to
the authoritative list of virtual package names. I'm submitting this per
Policy section 3.6 and the preamble to the [authoritative list].

[Todo.txt] describes an ecosystem of task management tools that revolve
around a standard for a freeform-text tasking file.

The reference cli has been packaged for some time, as "todotxt-cli". It
provides the executable "todo-txt".

An alternative cli provider, "topydo", has been recently added, adding
an executable by the same name.

I propose uniting this packages using the name "todo" - the common name
for the utility. Since not all todo list packages that may want to share
that name conform to the todo.txt standards, I also propose "todo.txt",
a strict subset of "todo", for packages which conform.

Note that topydo already implements these virtual packages, and that
there now exists a todo.txt-base packages that extends cli todo.txt
capabilities. There is also a todo.txt-cli package in Sid. This is
redundant, and has a pending RM request.

I did a screen scrape of p.d.o to find any possible collisions for these
names. There is a single package, devtodo (popcon 74, recently ITA'd),
that installs a "todo" executable. Currently, topydo Conflicts with this
package. I'd propose adding it to the "todo" virtual package.

This is a request for comment per the procedure in the list.

Please copy replies to this bug report.

Bug#838426: ITP: sirikali -- manage user encrypted volumes

* Package name: sirikali
  Version : 1.1.0-1
  Upstream Author : Mhogo Mchungu 
* URL : https://mhogomchungu.github.io/sirikali/

  Description : manage user encrypted volumes

 Sirikali provides a Qt/C++ GUI front end for managing FUSE-based
 encrypted file systems, allowing the user to create, mount, and
 unmount encrypted volumes. The services cryfs (ITP[1]), encfs[2]
 gocryptfs, and securefs are supported. It also supports a number of
 key management mechanisms.

Bug#839279: ITP: gocryptfs -- Encrypted overlay filesystem written in Go

2016-09-30 Thread David Steele
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: David Steele 

* Package name: gocryptfs
  Version : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Jakob Unterwurzacher 
* URL : https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description : Encrypted overlay filesystem written in Go

gocryptfs is built on top the excellent go-fuse
(https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse) FUSE library and its
LoopbackFileSystem API.

This project was inspired by EncFS and strives to fix its
security issues while providing good performance (benchmarks
(https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/comparison/#performance)).

For details on the security of gocryptfs see the Security
(https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/security/) design document.


gocryptfs is one of several packages that implement FUSE encrypted
mounts. EncFS is already in Debian. CryFS is currently in NEW.
Relative to those, gocryptfs is generally faster and more space-
efficient, and exposes features of the underlying file system
(hard links, sparse files, ...). It was created to fix security
deficiencies in EncFS, but it still exposes features of the
protected filesystem to a greater degree than CryFS.

Two additional packages need to be introduced to support installation,
golang-github-jacobsa-crypto, and golang-github-rfjakob-eme.

The sirikali gui currently in NEW supports gocryptfs (#838426).

The Debian Go Packaging Team is listed as the Maintainer. I intend to
provide ongoing support.



Bug#839395: ITP: golang-github-jacobsa-crypto -- Some additional Go cryptography routines

2016-10-01 Thread David Steele
Package: wnpp

* Package name: golang-github-jacobsa-crypto
  Version : 0.0~git20160410.0.42daa9d-1
  Upstream Author : Aaron Jacobs
* URL : https://github.com/jacobsa/crypto

  Programming Lang: Go
  Description : Some additional Go cryptography routines

This repository contains Go packages related to cryptographic standards
that are not included in the Go standard library. These include:

• SIV mode (http://go.pkgdoc.org/github.com/jacobsa/crypto/siv),
which provides deterministic encryption with authentication.

• CMAC (http://go.pkgdoc.org/github.com/jacobsa/crypto/cmac), a message
authentication system used by SIV mode.


This library is required by gocryptfs (#839279).

EME for Go Build Status (https://drone.io/github.com/rfjakob/eme/latest)
GoDoc (https://godoc.org/github.com/rfjakob/eme) MIT License EME
(ECB-Mix-ECB) is a wide-block encryption mode developed by Halevi and
Rogaway in 2003 [eme]. (see references below)

EME uses multiple invocations of a block cipher to construct a new cipher
of bigger block size (in multiples of 16 bytes, up to 2048 bytes).
