bcrypt

Hi all!

I have just uploaded the package bcrypt-1.1. Which is a small program for enctypting files using the blowfish algorithm. See more details below.

Is there a common place or way to distribute the PKGBUILD for new packages?

Best,
Kristian Sørensen.

-----------------------------------------------
Details (from the website - bcrypt.sf.net):
Bcrypt is a cross platform file encryption utility. Encrypted files are portable across all supported operating systems and processors. Passphrases must be between 8 and 56 characters and are hashed internally to a 448 bit key. However, all characters supplied are significant. The stronger your passphrase, the more secure your data.

In addition to encrypting your data, bcrypt will by default overwrite the original input file with random garbage three times before deleting it in order to thwart data recovery attempts by persons who may gain access to your computer. If you're not quite ready for this level of paranoia yet, see the installation instructions below for how to disable this feature. If you don't think this is paranoid enough.. see below.

Bcrypt uses the blowfish encryption algorithm published by Bruce Schneier in 1993.

Re: bcrypt

Can you post your PKGBUILD?  It's customary to post it when adding new packages to incoming.  Thanks!

Re: bcrypt

Sure, here it goes:

pkgname=bcrypt
pkgver=1.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Utilities for inserting and removing modules from the linux kernel"
url="http://bcrypt.sf.net"
depends=('zlib')
source=(http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('8ce2873836ccd433329c8df0e37e298c')

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
        make || return 1
        make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}
