Bug Description

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

Hi,

A patch to explicitly select the key slot was merged in 1.0.6. Is there any chance we can get this into Hardy?

If you don't want to bump the upstream version, I can look at preparing a debdiff with the patch, but I figured you'd want to just bump the upstream version.

I don't plan to upgrade to the new upstream version. Depending on how
large the patch is, a minimal debdiff would be prefered for this point
in the release cycle.

sorry for the long delay answering this :(

Slight error in your diff:

 Include patch from 1.0.6, which adds a -S option, which allows one to
+ specifically target a key slow (LP: #203302)

"key slow"->"key slot"

I have also adapted the patch to the latest version in the Hardy archive (2:1.0.5-2ubuntu11) but I kept your name on it since you deserve the credit for it.

I'm not in a position to test it at the moment, but if you wish, it is on my PPA as cryptsetup_1.0.5-2ubuntu11~ppa1.

Not sure if this qualifies for new feature or not. You may need to file for an FFe:

intrepid now ships with cryptsetup 1.0.6, so I'm closing this bug right now.

If someone wants to go through the SRU process for this, please open a bugtask for hardy.
