falcosecurity-libs 0.23.2-6~exp1

Package Information

DescriptionCore libraries for Falco and Sysdig

Sysdig instruments your physical and virtual machines at the OS level by installing into the Linux kernel and capturing system calls and other OS events. Then, using sysdig's command line interface, you can filter and decode these events in order to extract useful information and statistics.

This package contains the run-time libraries to read the events from the driver.

Changelog◂
falcosecurity-libs (0.23.2-6~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload
 .
   [ Adrian Bunk ]
   * Correct the soversion. (Closes: #1147298)
 .
   [ Pierre-Elliott Bécue ]
   * Import two patches from upstream for s390x builds
   * d/control:
     - libfalcosecurity0.23 Breaks/Replaces libfalcosecurity0t64
       (both ship lib*.so.0.23.2) instead of the pre-t64 libfalcosecurity0
     - Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.4
     - Drop the build and -dev dependencies no longer used upstream
       (curl, OpenSSL, gRPC, protobuf, abseil, c-ares, jq, b64) and the
       duplicate libjsoncpp-dev
     - Give libfalcosecurity0-dev its own synopsis and drop its redundant
       Section field
   * d/patches:
     - Drop libsinsp-added-missing-libraries.patch: libsinsp no longer
       uses protobuf, gRPC++ nor abseil, and the extra -l flags leaked
       into libsinsp.pc
     - Stop linking unit-test-libsinsp against protobuf and gRPC++
   * d/rules: drop the WITH_CHISEL and CHISEL_TOOL_LIBRARY_NAME flags,
     unused upstream
   * d/libfalcosecurity0.23.shlibs: add the missing shlibs
   * d/copyright: refresh; driver/ is GPL-2 or MIT, document the
     kernel-derived files and Istio's base64.h, drop obsolete stanzas
   * d/watch: update to v5

Comment: Kernel type definitions generated with bpftool from the BTF data
 of Linux kernel builds. The files carry no licence header, so the
 licence of the Linux kernel is assumed.

Comment: Tagged "GPL-2.0-only OR MIT" upstream, but it contains functions
 copied from the Linux kernel (kernel/sched/cputime.c, kernel/time/time.c),
 which are GPL-2 only.
