Keyword substitution: kv
Default branch: MAIN

let /randfile write 600 byte files, safe to use as ~/.gnupg/random_seed

XXX todo XXX
• actually default to that file (irssi)
• use oaathash ipv adler32 (irssi, xchat, tinyirc, sirc)
• link to homepage, which should be written first though…

CTCP RANDOM is now part of the new RANDEX protocol as well

shut up spammers

improve default “randfile” setting suggestion to include a commonly
found OpenSSL RANDFILE (e.g. on Debian GNU/HURD) iff it already exists,
with fallback to the pgp-2.6.3in one we currently use if it doesn’t

• oops, need to set at least one bit in all cases (even though 0 might
  be random)
• improve privacy

• implement adler32(3) in Perl, following my own minimalistic C implemen-
  tation but somewhat improved; could be optimised to always use the glo-
  bal running sum for this case tho…
• use the low-overhead arc4random_addrandom on a string consisting of the
  current time (perlber) and adler32 CRCs (binary) of the record and data
  of a rawlog to also add Vutral’s talking Ergüsse to the programme-local
  entropy pool (but not, directly, the kernel or public; this is for both
  speed and security/privacy)

allow optional arguments (seed) to /randex <nick|#chan> [seed]

* add docs on where to get help in the file header
* add "/randex *" as alias for current talk item, like MirSirc

• fix missing 1 argument in the initial randfile_timeout() invocation
• new randstir_timeout for periodically running arc4random_stir() unless
  we have_kintf()

all:
• merge arc4random_stir branches
• improve descriptions, etc.
randex.pl:
• remove superfluous rcs id
• increase size of seed file to pgp-2.6.3in’s
• add a note why we CAN NOT use gpg’s
  (and suggest PuTTY’s works well)

① I *told* you to help me, as I don’t speak perl… this is what you get:
  • when n̲o̲t̲ changing the rand_interval setting value, the timeout was lost
② dynamically generate $VERSION, regex from Mastering Perl by brian d foy

new /randstir calls arc4random_stir(), rewrites the randseed file, and
re-schedules the timeout

by request of gecko2@ add a quiet option

improve randex script by a pool file, especially good if you !have_kintf().

feature sync with MirSirc™ RANDEX protocol and client features
