Hi, bcrypt is a tool to encrypt files using the blowfish algorithm. It's quite new and after spending a couple of hours with the code, I can say that it's not release quality at all. RC Bugs: * bugs.debian.org/693460 Can't handle files larger than 4GB, causes data loss if used with default parameters. * bugs.debian.org/694091 Loads the whole file into memory, causes processes deaths when trying to allocate more memory than the machine has. Other bugs: * bugs.debian.org/562084 Crashes when decrypting read-only files Pretty much the same functionality that bcrypt offers can be achieved with openssl (openssl bf -in infile -out outfile). I recommend that bcrypt should be removed from testing until these bugs have been addressed. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
