[hloeung] Depend on ent as required by check_pollen nagios plugin.

7. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2013-10-29

* pollinate:
  - remove sourcing of an rc config file from $HOME, per security
    review from Seth Arnold
* pollinate.1:
  - update documentation to note that multiple servers can be specified
    on the command line
* debian/pollinate.default:
  - use the entropy.ubuntu.com beta site for testing
  - note that we're specifying the --insecure option here, as this is
    very much a work in progress
* debian/pollinate.upstart:
  - start pollinate when we have networking up and running, or
    when we start ssh
* pollen.go:
  - drop the nanosecond timestamp collection on the server
  - a good server should have real entropy hardware, and a busy server
    will have network traffic entropy already captured by the kernel
  - Suggestion by Seth Arnold in a security review
* debian/pollen.default, pollinate:
  - drop timestamp based salting, not terribly valuable
  - per security review by Seth Arnold
* pollinate:
  - drop unused $bin variable

* README:
  - enhance and update design documentation
* debian/copyright:
  - update to DEP-5 format

5. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2013-09-04

* check_pollen, debian/control:
  - improve the nagios check
  - warn if:
    + insufficient bytes are retrieved
    + less than 5-bits-per-byte of entropy are calculated
    + an out of whack arithmetic mean
  - have pollen server recommend ent, which is used by the nagios check

4. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2013-08-20

* pollen-nagios-check:
  - added nagios check script
* check_pollen, debian/pollen.install:
  - rename check script and install in nagios plugins directory

3. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2013-08-14

* README:
  - update design documentation
* pollinate, pollinate.1:
  - support printing random seed to standard out
  - useful for debugging
  - add a -q|--quiet option to silence log messages
* pollinate, pollinate.1:
  - add an option for binary data output
* debian/pollen.default, debian/pollen.upstart, pollen.8, pollen.go:
  - re-enable support for both encrypted and non-encrypted connections
  - use a go subroutine to serve both out of the same process
  - document these changes
  - default to 80 and 443, allow admin to override easily via config
* debian/control:
  - update package descriptions
* pollinate:
  - default to, but do not force, https

2. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2013-08-13

* pollen.go
  - use a global for the dev writer
  - write a few more timestamps into the mix during the response
    handler
  - change logging verbiage
* pollinate:
  - use a single temp directory, rather than multiple temp files
  - use a trap to cleanup the temp directory
  - uptdate the logging verbiage
  - use an etc default file if available
* debian/pollen.default:
  - drop "TCP_" in the TCP_PORT variable
* pollen.go:
  - just use two timestamps
* pollinate:
  - improve usability; prepend https
* debian/pollinate.cron.d, debian/pollinate.default,
  debian/pollinate.upstart, pollinate, pollinate.1:
  - use an upstart job, rather than an @reboot cronjob,
    to do the initial prng seeding
  - fix the default config file
