-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-1209 2013-01-23 00:31:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : haveged Product : Fedora 18 Version : 1.7 Release : 0.fc18 URL : http://www.irisa.fr/caps/projects/hipsor/ Summary : A Linux entropy source using the HAVEGE algorithm Description : A Linux entropy source using the HAVEGE algorithm Haveged is a user space entropy daemon which is not dependent upon the standard mechanisms for harvesting randomness for the system entropy pool. This is important in systems with high entropy needs or limited user interaction (e.g. headless servers). Haveged uses HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion) to maintain a 1M pool of random bytes used to fill /dev/random whenever the supply of random bits in /dev/random falls below the low water mark of the device. The principle inputs to haveged are the sizes of the processor instruction and data caches used to setup the HAVEGE collector. The haveged default is a 4kb data cache and a 16kb instruction cache. On machines with a cpuid instruction, haveged will attempt to select appropriate values from internal tables. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to the version 1.7 It includes now devel package Introduce new systemd-rpm macros in haveged spec file -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Jan 19 2013 Jirka Hladky <[email protected]> - 1.7-0 - Updated to the version 1.7 - Version 1.7 brings developement libraries - Added devel package * Sat Oct 13 2012 Jirka Hladky <[email protected]> - 1.5-2 - BZ 850144 - Introduce new systemd-rpm macros in haveged spec file - Fedora 19 changes the way how to work with services in spec files. - It introduces new macros - systemd_post, systemd_preun and systemd_postun; - which replace scriptlets from Fedora 18 and older - see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #850144 - Introduce new systemd-rpm macros in haveged spec file https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850144 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
