#topic Fesco deadline is today, Owen wants agreement from wg for
proposals for installing
repos by default, and flathub with a filter

Michael says that these proposals have been discussed and agreed to by
the WG in the past,
so this should be uncontroversial.

Owen will wait a few hours for feedback on the proposals.

#agreed interested parties should comment on the proposals after the meeting

#topic Discussion with Omar Sandoval

Chris introduces Omar and the topic of encryption of user/systemdata with btrfs.
This is follow-up to discussion from 2 weeks ago.
Hot question: When is the code expected to land in the upstream kernel?

Omar expects this to land in complete form, not piecemeal. Timeline
expectation: end-of-the-year
btrfs-specific parts will be different from how fscrypt does things,
so that will need a bit of
extra attention.

Chris is asking about enabling encryption at runtime. Omar says that
he thinks about using
the defrag code paths for this. Use case at facebook: container images
with well-known,
unencrypted base images and encrypted modifications.

Chris is asking about providing user keys after the fact. Omar says
that this sounds like
a userspace problem.

Neal asks about having multiple keys for decrypting. Omar says that
the kernel only supports
one encryption key, which would have to be protected in a key
management system if
multiple keys are desired.

Omar says that upstreaming of all this work is still pending. He will
reach out when things
are in a state where testing would be useful.

Neal was asking questions around backup and encryption.

Followup questions can be sent to Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxxxxxxx>
