  Description     : Tool for partial deblobbing of Intel ME/TXE firmware images

The Intel® Management Engine (ME) is a microcontroller embedded in most
Intel chipsets manufactured since 2006 that runs independently from the main
CPU.

It is not removable from the system and it runs a signed proprietary firmware,
with full network and memory access, which poses a serious security threat.
Even when disabled from the BIOS settings, Intel ME is active: the only way
to be sure it is disabled is to remove its firmware from the flash chip.

This package allows removing parts of the signed proprietary firmware
effectively disabling the Management Engine.

Hi Matthias,

Would you like to upload the PureOS package with small changes to Debian?
I remember we talked about you possibly packaging it for Debian but I did not
know it was already available for PureOS in the repo.

If you don't plan uploading the version from PureOS I plan uploading mine
which is a bit more recent.

Sorry for the much delayed reply, I actually wanted to write a message
immediately after I saw the ITP report, but that task somehow got lost...

I think uploading the older version when a more recent one is available
is just silly ;-)
So, go ahead!
It would be nice though if we could maybe collaborate easily on the
packaging, so maybe putting it under team-maintenance or into
collab-main would be nice :-)

Hi all,

- I'm interested in helping with this as well.
- I've asked upstream to introduce some changes regarding packaging [1].

Thanks for your work,
cheers,
Georg

Hi all,

Any progress on packaging this? I would like to see the package shipped
with buster, so offering hereby help, again. Would it be okay for you if
I would just start?

Thanks,

Thank you, please feel free to take over this ITP, your help is very welcome!
I had  a package prepared but I migrated to new systems and it looks
like I lost the temporary repo at some point.

I'm sorry for not following up on this earlier.

Cheers,
