Package: haveged
Version: 1.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Hello!
According to the README, there are a couple entropy quality checkers that are included int he source. It would be great if those (or at minimum just the ent/test.sh) could be included in the package. Perhaps in examples?
thanks,
micah

Those tests are really meant to be run in the source tree and packaging
them properly requires quite a bunch of patches that are not worth of
the effort in my eyes.
The tests are run when the package is built, though, and the results can
be seen in the buildd logs.
Cheers,

Makes sense, don't bother doing that then.

I am still wanting some sort of entropy quality checker that I can use
to periodically make sure the entropy is good (I would like to issue a
nagios alert on it), so if you have any ideas of other programs that can
do it... I'm interested!
