Hi ports@,

%cat DESCR
libGringotts is a small, easy-to-use, thread-safe C library originally
developed for Gringotts; its purpose is to encapsulate data (generic:
ASCII, but also binary data) in an encrypted and compressed structure,
to be written in a file or used elseway. It makes use of strong
encryption algorithms, to ensure the data are as safe as possible, and
allow the user to have the complete control over all the algorithms used
in the process.

For encryptions, libGringotts makes use of the MCrypt and MHash libs by
Nikos Mavroyanopoulos, two really powerful and easy to use C libraries.


Tested on @i386 -current.

I do some patches in post-configure because Makefile.am needs automake
1.10. And it's not yet in the ports tree.

Note that the next version of Osmo (see
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=120125621415275&w=2) will use
ligringotts to encrypt data.

Port is available here:
http://openbsd.raveland.org/pub/OpenBSD/libgringotts.1.2.1.tgz

Tests,comment are welcome.


Regards,

Pea
