This is what I am planning:- Rewrite crypto support in initscripts, with a new configuration scheme (our normal sourced bash-files) - adding all the features from feature requests on the bugtracker.
- crypto support will be in a function outside of rc.sysinit for more readability - that function will be POSIX sh compatible (see below)
- Add a compatibility layer that converts crypttab entries into the new scheme at runtime so crypttab will still work, but will be deprecated.
- Add the optional possibility to also configure the root device like this, so mkinitcpio will add a config file to the initramfs and use the same code, making crypto configuration more straight-forward. The cryptdevice= logic on the kernel command line will override such a configuration and won't be deprecated.
I am in the stage of designing the configuration layout, you'll see patches in git soon.
