* debian/pollen-restart.upstart, debian/pollen.upstart, debian/rules:
  - LP: #1386052
  - add a new upstart job that restarts pollen any time the rsyslog server
    is restarted
  - this is necessary to work around a bug in the golang syslog library
    where syslog restarts break logging
    + https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=2264#c8

31. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2014-03-18

* debian/control:
  - recommend rng-tools; we can do this, since pollen is in universe
* debian/pollen.postinst:
  - minor change to the default self-signed cert; use 'localhost'
    for the hostname; this is useful for testing pollinate against
    the localhost with a self-signed cert
* README:
  - update docs; pollinate no longer runs daily by default
* README:
  - update some docs
* check_pollen:
  - ensure that the nagios check catches log failures

30. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2014-03-18

* pollen_test.go:
  - fix FTBFS
  - hardcode device to /dev/urandom in unit tests, otherwise, our
    entropy starved vm-based builders will fail the unit tests
    and fail the build

29. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2014-03-06

* debian/control, debian/pollen.default, pollen.go, usr.bin.pollen:
  - LP: #1293958
  - suggest rng-tools (universe), which is needed to leverage tpm for
    /dev/random entropy
  - change default entropy source for pollen server to /dev/random
  - update inline configuration documentation to reflect reality
  - add rw of /dev/random to our apparmor whitelist

28. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2014-02-28

* debian/rules: LP: #1288807
  - fix FTBFS, build using golang 'go build' rather than gccgo

27. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2014-02-26

[ JuanJo Ciarlante and Dustin Kirkland ]
* check_pollen:
  - use the new -t|--testing flag, to verify communications with the
    server, runable as a non-privileged user, but not affecting the
    local PRNG

[ John Arbash Meinel ]
* .gitignore, pollen.go, pollen_test.go:
  - This changes the 'handler' from being just a func() using global
    state to being a struct with local state.
  - It then moves the things like dev and log to being members of the
    struct, with interfaces that let us override them in the test suite.
  - It then adds a bunch of tests about how we handle failures, errors,
    logging, the size flag, etc.
  - The interfaces also mean that we won't try to spam syslog while running
    the test suite.
  - Another small change is that if you do:
       pollen -https-port=""
    Then it won't try to bind to the HTTP port with a cert.
  - Since I'm not the official source for pollen, it helped for testing at
    least the HTTP requests manually.
  - This also fixes the help text for "-size" since it doesn't actually
    change how much content we send on the wire, but how much content we
    read from /dev/urandom (but it adds tests for that fact).
  - go fmt, and some formatting tweaks
  - actually do the right formatting
  - use microsecond timing (ms was always 0)
  - capture the length of time serving requests takes

[ Dustin Kirkland ]
* pollen.go:
  - put brackets around request length of time value

[ Caleb Spare ]
* pollen.go:
  - Require the challenge query-string param to be provided
  - don't create the random device, if it doesn't exist

[ Dustin Kirkland ]
* pollen_test.go:
  - update test to handle required challenge string
* pollen.go:
  - incorporate feedback from Adam Langley
  - catch errors reading the random device
  - add a note as to why we're checksumming the random seed
  - update message when challenge empty

[ Caleb Spare and Dustin Kirkland ]
* debian/pollen.upstart, pollen.8, pollen.go:
  - Use flags rather than positional arguments, and plumb bytes argument
    through

[ Dustin Kirkland and Matt Croydon ]
* debian/pollen.default, debian/pollen.upstart, pollen.8, pollen.go:
  - add support for specifying the TLS cert and key as command line
    flags

24. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2014-02-17

[ Caleb Spare ]
* pollen.go, pollen_test.go:
  - Bring naming in line with Go conventions
  - Use shorter parameter names for an http.HandlerFunc
  - Remove an unnecessary string conversion
  - Print useful error if wrong arguments are given rather than crashing
  - Don't ignore errors
  - Rename http[s]Port to http[s]Addr for accuracy
  - Handle errors starting the http servers
  - Change some naming in the test
  - Read from the provided device rather than always /dev/urandom

23. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2014-02-17

[ Casey Marshall ]
* debian/control, debian/rules, Makefile, pollen.go, pollen_test.go:
  - add unit tests for pollen server

[ Dustin Kirkland ]
* debian/pollen.lintian-overrides:
  - override expected Lintian gripes
