Package: src:linux Version: 6.0.3-1~bpo11+1 Severity: wishlist Looks like someone had the idea of a virtualized HW RNG. Yet looking at the kernel source, there isn't a single actual implementation. Unless I'm missing something, having CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO simply wastes processor time during build and enlarges the package for no gain. Perhaps time for Debian to quit packaging this used idea? Looks like on-processor HW RNGs are what are taking over. Possibly also the HW RNG from the vTPM implementation. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sigmsg@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445
