Bug#767021: unblock: volatility/2.4-1

Please unblock the package volatility. This package is very important for
forensics activities, allowing a full memory analysis.

The current version, that adds support to Windows 8 memory dumps (and others)
was released in end of August. This is a complex program and I spent time doing
several tests and talking with the developers. Another point is that I needed
to submit a new dependency, distorm3, to NEW and it was accepted on 2014-10-19
(I sent to NEW in 2014-09-20). I delayed the packaging because the upstream
changed his site (from GitHub to another place[1]) and I had no information
about this change and a new version via watch file.

I uploaded the final package yesterday (Sunday) and I need one day only to get
it in testing. So, please, reduce the migration time to 5 days.

The package is fully tested, clean and working fine. The changelog can be
viewed here[2].

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Eriberto

According to my maths, tonight's britney run is day one of
volatility's 10 day count. Counting forward another nine days takes us
to the package being eligible for migration in the evening run on the
5th, which is (just) before the freeze.

Unless you plan to upload a further update to the package, I believe
volatility will manage to migrate before the freeze without our
intervention. Given the size of the diff, I'd personally be happier
leaving that to happen.

Regards,

Adam
