Hi,

security/p5-Crypt-DSA is deprecated and recommends to use Crypt-DSA-GMP
instead.  So let's port p5-Crypt-DSA-GMP.  Note that its dependency
Crypt::Random::Seed has not been ported and has multiple weak random
sources for Windows and Linux.  Better replace it with Unix::OpenBSD::Random
which uses our libc arc4random(3).

ok to import p5-Crypt-DSA 0.02 ?

Comment:
DSA signatures and key generation

Description:
Crypt::DSA::GMP is an implementation of the DSA (Digital Signature
Algorithm) signature verification system. The implementation itself is
pure Perl, with mathematics support from Math::BigInt::GMP and
Math::Prime::Util::GMP.
This package provides DSA signing, signature verification, and key
generation.
