* Package name : nmbs Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Contact: Luke Ian Turner <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/liturner/nmbs * License : MIT Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : confidentiality label binding tools nmbs is a native Debian project adding support for binding and reading confidentiality labels (e.g. NATO UNCLASSIFIED) to files in the system. In particular, it partially implements the NATO ADatP-4774 and ADatP-4778 standards to embed e.g. Xmp metadata, or create .bdo sidecar files. The initial version provides: * Basic CLI tools "nmbs-set" and "nmbs-verify" * A Nautilus extension, displaying tags in a column or properties page * A shared library, and paired -dev package containing the bulk of the logic It is a new project. The first package being uploaded will be 1.0.0~1 (pre-release). I intend to go through a few sanity cycles on mentors before attempting a true 1.0.0. The tool will be used in an active project at my place of work. The lifecylcle of the project is over ten years. Additionally, this tool will likely be used at my place of work as part of our standard system images. These standards are relatively new. Commercial support is still minimal and specialised. Till now I have not been able to locate any other viable open source project implementing such general support. There are also no reference implementations yet. The package will be maintained by myself. I have access to a developer network at my place of work too. The Copyright is entirely mine. This is a clean project implementing the standard. I am cautious not to let any non-free code or dependencies in. I would like to request some sponsor support. This is my first attempt at uploading to Debian. I will do my best to 100% match the desired norms of Debian. I will probably poke the GNOME team as I hope to focus on using the Nautilus extension as my primary GUI.
