New doas package for chimaera

Just noticed this:

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … s&x=submit

It must have been added to Debian bullseye after the release, which is very unusual.

For those who aren't familiar with it doas(1) is a minimal replacement for sudo(8) from OpenBSD. There's no sudoedit but the configuration is *much* simpler and the code base is tiny compared to sudo. It won't be as secure as the OpenBSD version because it still has to interface with PAM but I prefer it.

Now just have to wait for it to make into backports. In the mean time i just git clone Duncaens repo and build it myself, fairly simple to build and configure.
