Summary: Review Request: ecryptfs-utils - Linux eCryptfs utilities https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218556 ------- Additional Comments From mhalcrow@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-06-20 18:39 EST ------- eCryptfs is pretty well hooked in with the kernel keyring. There could be some modifications done in the kernel module to allow key registration via a mount option or a sysfs handle, if that is something that users will really want, but to date, nobody has requested such a thing. eCryptfs links against libgcrypt mainly because it is less complicated in terms of licensing (it's all GPL). The next-best option I would choose would be to just copy in what libecryptfs needs from libtomcrypt. Release 17 keeps all the linking as-is, but it also has a built-in fallback for the passphrase key module in the event that the usr/lib/ecryptfs/ directory is not set up as expected. I added several new userspace utilities for managing wrapped passphrases. This involves keeping a permanent mount passphrase wrapped by your login. This is helpful, for instance, if you are using pam_ecryptfs.so and want to be able to change your login passphrase without having to re-encrypt all of your data. I added the commands to run check-rpath in my ~/.rpmmacros file, as suggested in the packaging guidelines, and I did not see any errors generated by check-rpath. Release 17 is here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ecryptfs/ecryptfs-utils-17.tar.bz2 Along with an updated SPEC file (although I'm not sure what Kevin has done with the SPEC file since I last changed it): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ecryptfs/ecryptfs-utils.spec -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
