  Description     : PKCS#11 implementation for TPM backed services

Chaps is a PKCS #11 implementation, originally created for ChromiumOS,
that provides trusted platform module (TPM) backed cryptographic
services.

It aims to improve speed and reliability of cryptographic token
operations as well as to provide a simpler and more flexible codebase
for future enhancements.  Chaps works with a TCG Software
Stack (TSS).  Typically the TrouSerS TSS implementation is used, but Chaps
is not limited to working with TrouSerS.  The name "Chaps" has no real
significance other than its fitness as a name for a layer above TrouSerS.

The chaps source package is used to generate two binary packages:
 - The chaps binary package include the Chaps daemon and a PAM
   module which, if enabled, generates a PKCS #11 token for each
   user that logs into the system.
 - The libchaps0 binary package provides the client shared library that
    applications link to in order to use the PKCS#11 API.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging chaps. 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 chaps 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 chaps, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <772818@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,
