Packaging the secure email system Confidant Mail (original) (raw)




Hello mentors,

Is there a mentor available to help me get Confidant Mail into the Debian repository?This should not be too difficult, as I already have a .deb package working, and the program is pure python 2.7

https://www.confidantmail.org/download/ https://www.confidantmail.org/download/confidantmail_0.41-1.deb https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874340

Secure GPG-based non-SMTP email and large file transfer. Has a wxPython GUI

that resembles Thunderbird. Can send multi-gigabyte attachments in chunks overclearnet, Tor, i2p. Anyone can run a server and all servers exchange messages.Uses a DHT for key distribution. There is a public server cluster available for

anyone to use.

Dependencies: python-wxgtk3.0 python-twisted python-enchant python-socks python-cryptography

I already have a working .deb package on the website. Code is all python and GPL.

Servers have been up since 2015, Windows and MacOS clients are also available.

Uses Entangled DHT code, which is GPL, was abandoned by its author, and I

released a bugfix version. I'm going to ask for a mentor on the debian-mentors list.

Thank you, Mike
