with enabling pacman signing, shouldn't we add the rng-tools to extra to be able to use it on install media too? For interactive installers, it seems to me like a better solution to simply ask the user to provide true entropy through typing random stuff on their keyboards - shouldn't take more than twenty seconds or so.
For virtual machines, I use the stupid code attached to transfer entropy from the host to the guest.
I don't know rng-tools but if it better answers either problem it would indeed be nice to have it in [extra].
Ok as discussed on IRC, haveged seems the better choice because rng-tools need a real hw generator to work correct. Thanks guys for clarification, no need for it in extra repository then. greetings tpowa
