Announcing 'cryptofs' Alioth project for encrypted file systems

[Max Vozeler <max@hinterhof.net>]

Hi!

This mail is to announce the new Alioth project 'cryptofs' where people
interested in encrypted file systems and swap space on Debian systems can
collaborate and discuss. Some ideas:

 * Making the use of encrypted file systems on Debian "easy" by
   working on the integration, writing support scripts and ideally
   good documentation for the user.
 
 * Adding support for encrypted file systems to debian-installer. This
   could be done as partman module 'partman-cryptofs' for creating 
   encrypted partitions and swap space (30% done)

 * Trying to get changes integrated upstream wherever possible and
   working with other Debian maintainers to resolve the few outstanding
   issues with encrypted file systems.

 * Discussing implementation details

The Alioth project page: http://alioth.debian.org/projects/cryptofs/

There is a mailinglist 'cryptofs-devel' (@lists.alioth.debian.org)
for support and general discussion to which you can subscribe here:

  http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/cryptofs-devel

My work will mainly focus on the loop-AES encrypted loopback
driver, but I hope people using the kerneli.org cryptoloop will join
and contribute too.

Cheers
Max
