rng-tools: new package for rng-tools (rngd) version 5
random number generator daemon - seed kernel random from hwrng
This daemon feeds data from a random number generator to the kernel's
random number entropy pool, after first checking the data to ensure
that it is properly random.
By default, a hardware rng at /dev/hwrng is used as entropy source.
This daemon is part of the rng-tools, which can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/rng-tools/rng-tools.git
