- Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400). Modified:
  * rng-tools.service

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct  6 13:40:00 UTC 2021 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>

- disable nistbeacon support

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar 18 13:04:28 UTC 2021 - Paolo Stivanin <info@paolostivanin.com>

- update to 6.12:
  * Fix compiler warning over log message format
  * Fix some typos in force-reseed documentation in rngd man page
  * Improve --list option so that we properly capture entropy sources
    that are available and configured on at build time, but failed
    initalization at run time (due to lack of hw, or some other error, etc)
  * Drop the use of libsysfs - we only used it to access a single file,
    and we can do so with a simple open/read/close.
    Given the lack of maintenance of libsysfs, we can save lots of
    effort by dropping this lib

Sat Sep 12 13:06:07 UTC 2020 - Dirk Mueller <dmueller@suse.com>

-  update to 6.10:
  * Conversion of all entropy sources to use openssl instead of gcrypt, eliminating the need for the gcrypt library
  * updated nist beacon entropy source to conform to version 2 of the
  * Added rtlsdr radio entropy source
  * Fixed arm host_cpu name, fixing a build break
  * Fixed selection of default pkcs11 engine, based on target arch
  * Moved closing jitter entropy source printouts to be LOG_DEBUG
  * Typo fixes from codespell
  * Fix a build break with power darn entropy sourceaa
  * Improve interlock between main rngd thread, and jitterentropy threads during startup/shutdown to avoid deadlock/unneeded latency
  * Avoid writing to write_wakeup_threshold when no specific threshold is set (allowing for separate services to preform this task without warnings from rngd)
  * Enhance logging to more clearly indicate which entropy source is issuing a given log message
  * Daemonize earlier, thereby avoiding early thread exit, which in turn leads to additional latency on shutdown
  * Allow for immediate thread shutdown in jitter - By using sigsetjmp/siglongjmp, threads can exit, even when blocking in the jitter library
  * Fixed texrels on on rdrand_asm.S for pic compilation
  * allow use of libargp if libc lacks argp parsing
  * explicitly link against -lcrypto, fixing build in pkcs11 entropy source
  * replace pthread_yield with posix compliant sched_yield

  * Added jitter library as an entropy source
  * Added short names to entropy sources (rather than just index numbers), for use in identifying sources to exclude/include/set options on
  * Deprecated tpm entropy source, as all modern tpm2 hardware in the kernel exports entropy via /dev/hwrng (the hwrng entropy source)
  * Deprecated use of indexs in exclude/include/option setting
  * Introduced the concept of slow entropy sources, that produce entropy at rates slow enough that would otherwise cause them to get disabled as being broken
  * Defaulted rdrand entropy source to not use aes, as it creates a significant performance increase
  * Update of jitterentropy-library version
  * Addition of -O flag to allow per-entropy-source option setting (documented in man page)
  * Misc jitterentropy bugfixes

  check for signals in all loops to react to SIGINT/SIGTERM

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Sep  3 10:18:46 UTC 2014 - idonmez@suse.com

- Apparently --fill-watermark expects a number between 0 and 4096
  now. So we now set it to 3700 which is ~90% of 4096.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Aug 25 10:13:40 UTC 2014 - idonmez@suse.com

- Update to version 5

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 22 16:49:41 UTC 2014 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- package is needed on %arm (raspberry pi at least).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 24 18:05:29 UTC 2014 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- systemd: Do not start in containers, in that case 
  entropy comes from the "host"
- systemd: Conflict with haveged, only one entropy daemon
  must be running.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 30 03:54:36 UTC 2014 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- Fix automagic startup with udev/systemd virtio-rng KERNEL
  name is hw_random not hwrng..

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 30 03:15:22 UTC 2014 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- in some parallel universe --fill-watermark took a percentage
  value, not in this incarnation at least, where it takes
  an integer. just use the sane builtin default

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Dec 27 20:16:37 UTC 2013 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- udev does not like rules without a new line

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov 24 04:23:56 UTC 2013 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- there is no trousers-devel requirement anymore 
- define _udevrulesdir only if not already defined
- run %udev_rules_update, if defined.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 23 14:45:37 UTC 2013 - p.drouand@gmail.com

- Drop old sysvinit stuff; none of distribution targets use it anymore
- Remove redundant %clean section
- Remove useless automake BuildRequires, CFLAGS export and autoreconf call
  
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep  2 02:07:59 UTC 2013 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- in a previous change I removed WantedBy=multi-user.target
  from the systemd service file because the service can get
  automatically started by udev, however there are usecases
  on which manual start is desirable, restore that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 15 17:41:27 CEST 2013 - ro@suse.de

- remove option "--feed-interval=1" from init-script and
  service file, no current version of rng-tools has ever
  known this option (bnc#819764)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 11 02:42:07 UTC 2013 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- Just to be in the safe side, put udev rules later into
  the mix 50-hwrng.rules --> 90-hwrng.rules

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr  9 01:03:51 UTC 2013 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- 50-hwrng.rules + rng-tools.service, use activation by systemd+udev
  combo, the service will come up automatically when the kernel
  registers a /dev/hwrng device, service no longer requires
  manual intervention to work at all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct  4 14:31:13 UTC 2012 - lars@linux-schulserver.de

  * Add -p option for specifying PID file (text file containing daemon's PID)
  * Disable entropy source if facing continued failures, but be
    tolerant of the occasional fault.
  * Default device is now the preferred /dev/hwrng
  * Do not use TPM device for RNG access, if /dev/hwrng is present
    (TPM RNG is exported via the kernel, in newer kernels)
- require $remote_fs in init script as binaries are below /usr

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jan 29 02:57:13 UTC 2012 - tabraham@novell.com

- Update to version 3
  * add rngteswt program
  * support TPM chip's hardware RNG (and thus, a framework for
    supporting multiple entropy sources)
