TSL 2.0 community contrib area announcement

This is the TSL 2.0 community contrib area announcement



The TSL developers are proud to announce that the contrib area for 
TSL 2.0 is now up and running.

The area has not yet been populated with contributed packages, but as 
soon as the contributors get hold of this information, we expect the
situation to change.

The contrib maintainers are:

Daniel Meyer and Goetz Bock

They can be reached on the address: <tsl-contrib at trustix dot org>


* Contributing a package:


If you have a package that you want to contribute, and also think it 
is in a state that is acceptable, you may place the package on a
web server near you, and tell the contrib maintainers where to find it.

The packages must conform to the TSL development Policy:
<URL: http://www.trustix.org/pub/documentation/policy/>

If you want a package to be contributed, but don't have the resources
to do so yourself, please send the request to the tsl-discuss mailing
list.



* Using the contrib area:


To make swup care about the contrib area, add this to your 
/etc/swup/swup.conf

# TSL 2.0 official contrib
site {
  class = 10
  location = "http://snow.trustix.org/cloud/contrib/latest.rdf"
  regexp = ".*"
}

You also need to import the PGP key by which the packages will be signed:

    wget http://snow.trustix.org/TSL-CONTRIB-KEY
    swup --import-key TSL-CONTRIB-KEY

(Don't expect swup to do anything useful with this information before
the first packages have been contributed.)


Important notice:

There is a bug in swup-2.0.1-1tr which is triggered by setting class =
10 in the site section for the contrib area. The bug is trivial to fix,
and a new package for TSL 2.0 can be found at the TSL 2.0 testing area:

<URL: http://snow.trustix.org/cloud/rpms/swup-2.0.2-1tr.noarch.rpm>

If you don't upgrade to swup-2.0.2-1tr, a simple workaround is to:

    Replace 'class = 10' with:
    'class = 1' if you only have 'class = 0' sites, 
    'class = 2' if you have both 'class 0', and 'class 1' sites,
    'class = 3' if you have 'class 0', 'class 1', and 'class 2' sites.
    and so on.






Regards
