Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2016 00:09:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160723220946.13044-1-me@tobias.gr> (raw)
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (haveged): New variable.

Hullo Guix,
- A package for haveged, for those who trust it.
- A question about licencing, for those with more knowledge than me.
Quoth Debian[1]:

How'd I best encode these (presumably FSDG-compliant) licences?
Kind regards,
T G-R

+indirect effects of hardware events on hidden processor state using the HArdware
+Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion (HAVEGE) algorithm. It tunes itself to
+its environment and provides the same built-in test suite for the output stream
+as used on certified hardware security devices.")
