Fragmentation of the utilities is a bad thing. There's already enough of it in ecryptfs-utils (mount.ecryptfs vs mount.ecryptfs_private) but now there's an entirely new package, too. > Also, for a nice finish touch, I have > implemented Android user data encryption from top (including a minimal > GUI) to bottom on a Nexus 4 running latest AOSP kitkat. Very cool. Looking forward to checking it out. > > I'm looking for volunteers to test, review or contribute to Android > userspace tools that I've built.

As the kernel maintainer, I don't expect to have the bandwidth to update and test both utils packages when kernel changes occur. It would be great if ecryptfs-utils and efs-tools lived in the same tree (and shared the majority of their code). Tyler
