Brief description of the package:

chroot, mount --bind, and binfmt_misc without privilege/setup for GNU/Linux

Code

Dependencies:

Please list the package's dependencies (source language, libraries, etc.).

Configuration, building, installation:

It might or might not use Autoconf/Automake, but it must meet GNU
standards.  Even packages that do not require compilation
must follow these standards, so installers have a uniform way to
define target directories, etc.  Please see:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Makefile-Conventions.html

Documentation:

We require using Texinfo (http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/)
for documentation, and recommend writing both reference and tutorial
information in the same manual.  Please see
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/GNU-Manuals.html

Internationalization:

If your package has any user-visible strings, please make them
translatable to other languages using GNU Gettext:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/

TODO

Accessibility:

Please discuss any accessibility issues
with your package, such as use of relevant APIs.

Security:

Please discuss any possible security issues with your package:
cryptographic algorithms being used, sensitive data being stored,
possible elevation of privileges, etc.

Licensing:

Both the software itself and all dependencies (third-party
libraries, etc.) must be free software in order to be included in
GNU. In general, official GNU software should be released under the
GNU GPL version 3 or any later version, and GNU documentation should
be released under the GNU FDL version 1.3 or any later version.

Please see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html for a
practical guide to which licenses are free (for GNU's purposes) and
which are not. Please give specific url's to any licenses involved
that are not listed on that page.

Similar free software projects:

Please explain what motivated you to write your package, and search
at least the Free Software Directory (http://www.gnu.org/directory/)
for projects similar to yours. If any exist, please also explain
what the principal differences are.

N/A - none that I could find.

The testsuite needs lots of love, but for now, here are some steps to add a new test.

There are more than one type of test, compiled tests written in c, or shell scripts.

Also, if you take a peek at test/GNUmakefile, you will see some tests are hard-coded in there for some reason.

I recently added test/test-python01.sh, so you can use that one as a proper example.

I think it would be ideal to create a blog post describing the current state of PRoot i.e. the transition of maintainership from the original author, and the issues faced by the current maintainers leading to the large gap since the last release.

@panicbit @jyn514 I would gladly assign either of you maintainer access for this rust implementation. I am currently the only "active" maintainer and to be honest, I barely have bandwidth for the main implementation.
