Buster - it's the new Wheezy / Stretch (or something like that)

[Chris Morrow]

We're well into the lifecycle of Debian Buster (10.6 even!) could the nmsg stack get debian packages built and published for buster please?

thanks!

[Allan LeSage]

We're eager to get these started, yes, I'll take assignment of this.

I created a new repo with the following sources.list:
deb http://dl.farsightsecurity.com/debian buster-farsightsec main
(amd64 only)
It has: nmsgtool nmsg-msg-module-sie libnmsg-dev nmsg-msg-module-sie-dev libwdns-dev python-nmsg
Will this work for your current needs?
Note that later we will add more open source packages including python3 modules.

swapping stretch/buster, re-running apt-update/ugprade...

Picking just the nmsgtool package for example:
Package: nmsgtool
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: net
Installed-Size: 272
Maintainer: Farsight Security, Inc. [e-mail]
Architecture: amd64
Source: nmsg
Version: 0.15.1-1+fsi9
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libnmsg6 (>= 0.14.0), libpcap0.8 (>= 1.0.0), libxs2, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)
Description: network message encapsulation tool

that seems ok... let's see how it works :)

import nmsg

that seems very positive...
and with inbound mail processing, I see positive activity :)

thanks!
