* Package name : distkeys Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : teamix GmbH, Martin Steigerwald <ms@teamix.de> * URL : https://github.com/teamix/distkeys * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: Ruby Description : Distkeys - upload SSH keys to servers and more Distkeys distributes a list of public SSH keys to a list of servers. It reaches servers behind a firewall as well by using SSH port forwarding. Furthermore it can execute a command or a script on a list of hosts or copy a file to them. We use this package to distribute our own public keys to our own and customer machines. I plan to maintain upstream and Debian packaging. In comparison with other solutions I see the following specifics: - It is mainly targetted at distribution of SSH keys. - It can access servers behind a firewall via port forwarding. - It downloads authorized_keys, does all changes and uploads them in one go, and thus is quite fast. - It tries to play it safe by backuping of authorized_keys intelligently. We would like to share distkeys in the hope it is useful to others. Current state of packaging is almost ready to review. TODO: - Review adaptions to make it run with Ruby 1.9. - Get it reviewed by a sponsor (see RFS bug below). The packaging is using git-buildpackage with separate upstream and debian packaging branches. It is already lintian clean, except for a debian/watch file which I consider to be unnecessary in this case. See also: RFS: distkeys/1.0 -- distribute SSH keys https://bugs.debian.org/712787 Which I will update in a moment with some actual information. (Please excuse long signature, it is centrally managed.)
retitle 745478 RFP: distkeys -- Distkeys - upload SSH keys to servers and more noowner 745478 tag 745478 - pending thanks Hi, A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging distkeys. Unfortunately, it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging the software. This is an automatic email to change the status of distkeys from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 12 months. If you are still interested in packaging distkeys, please send a mail to <control@bugs.debian.org> with: retitle 745478 ITP: distkeys -- Distkeys - upload SSH keys to servers and more owner 745478 ! thanks It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing <745478@bugs.debian.org>. If you need guidance on how to package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list. Thank you for your interest in Debian,
Hi Nilson, I would like to advise you not to waste your time on abandoned projects. This one is not alive anymore and does not have a chance to enter Debian. Cheers, Bastian
