The Kali Janitor

The Kali janitor is a project to automatically make changes to Kali packages.

It finds VCS repositories associated with packages in the kali archive, runs a set of predefined operations on them, builds the resulting package and then publishes the result (both as a VCS repository and as a Debian package).

The overall goal is to reduce the manual effort that is needed to maintain a Debian package, allowing maintainers to just click Merge in a web UI and allowing users to try out newer upstream versions of packages without the involvement of the maintainer.

• Fixes for common issues reported by Lintian
• Fresh releases and snapshots:
  • Packages of new upstream releases
  • Packages of new upstream snapshots
• Merges from Debian
