Control: retitle -1 ITA: john -- active password cracking tool Control: owner -1 Debian Security Tools <team+pkg-secur...@tracker.debian.org>
Hi, with Julián (previous co-maintainer of john who wants to continue to work on it, CC'ed) already being in pkg-security-team on Salsa and me being invited to join (see below), we'll solve this WNPP issue by moving john under the Debian Security Tools Packaging Team umbrella. I think this is a good solution for all interested parties as well as Debian's and Kali's john users. :-) ----- Forwarded message from Raphael Hertzog <hert...@debian.org> ----- Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:34:54 +0100 From: Raphael Hertzog <hert...@debian.org> To: Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org> Cc: Debian Security Tools <team+pkg-secur...@tracker.debian.org> Subject: Re: Heads up: Bug#981055: O: john -- active password cracking tool Hello Axel, On Tue, 26 Jan 2021, Axel Beckert wrote: > just a heads up since I know that the Kali people maintain their own, > much more featureful john package and I wonder if we can get that into > Debian now: > > john has been orphaned by the MIA team just today: > https://bugs.debian.org/981055 Thanks for the notification.

I would not mind if you joined pkg-security :-) Cheers, >-- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Raphaël Hertzog <hert...@debian.org> ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ The Debian Handbook: https://debian-handbook.info/get/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Debian Long Term Support: https://deb.li/LTS ----- End forwarded message ----- Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, https://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE
