If you mean upstream cryptsetup, I would be happy if we can commit these Debian additional programs upstream and not patch distro later. Just send patches to me or create new issue requesting it on project pages http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/ Just a few notes: - license must be compatible with GPL2 - I do not want anything working with network/sockets etc. in base cryptsetup or libcryptsetup. No problem with specialized programs/wrappers. - but please, if possible, use new libcryptsetup and not pipe passphrase to cryptsetup binary, libcryptsetup should provide all needed callbacks now, including optional locking of memory to avoid swapping some buffer with passphrase (but maybe this is not possible because wrapper is used even for other purposes) Milan _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
