<posted & mailed> Hi,
Given the recent announcement that Lenny is going to have 3.5.9 and given that LUKS support has been present in Debian since etch, it would be good if we ship a LUKS handling application in KDE. Many users these days are using LUKS to secure their machines. I've tried packaging krypt for Debian. It would be good if we could see this application ship with Debian (and maybe Lenny). I have some minor problems with the packaging and need your help. Once I resolve all the issues, I can upload it to mentors so that Fathi or someone else can upload it. I see some warnings like these: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libz.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/krypt/usr/bin/krypt" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libXt.so.6 could be avoided if "debian/krypt/usr/bin/krypt" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libX11.so.6 could be avoided if "debian/krypt/usr/bin/krypt" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libXft.so.2 could be avoided if "debian/krypt/usr/bin/krypt" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libXrender.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/krypt/usr/bin/krypt" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). Can they be ignored? Here's the control file for krypt. Source: krypt Section: kde Priority: extra Maintainer: Ritesh Raj Sarraf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 6), autotools-dev, libdbus-qt-1-dev, libhal-dev, kdelibs4-dev Standards-Version: 3.7.3 Homepage: http://krypt.berlios.de/ Package: krypt Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: KDE GUI for managing volumes encrypted with LUKS Krypt is a simple application that sits in the system tray and provides easy access to the list of volumes encrypted with LUKS. It is possible to quickly decrypt, encrypt back, mount, and umount such devices. There are some lintian warnings also. W: krypt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/krypt The package comes without a manpage. I created one and let it be in debian/ folder. Where should I put it? W: krypt: menu-item-uses-apps-section /usr/share/menu/krypt:2 W: krypt: menu-item-creates-new-section Apps/System /usr/share/menu/krypt:2 What menu section should be used? W: krypt: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/krypt /usr/lib This is something I don't understand much.
