ecryptfs-utils does not support uclibc

[Tao Wang]

I want to compile the ecryptfs-utils with uclibc, which does not support nss. But in "src/libecryptfs/main.c" and "src/libcryptfs/key_management.c", "nss.h" is incuded hardly. I think ecryptfs-utils should support uclibc,
right?

Thanks.

We use NSS for hashing and encryption functions. I suppose that someone could move those NSS calls over to libgcrypt calls, but it is not high on the list of priorities for the upstream developers. Please feel free to attach a patch and we'll give it a review.

OK, but I have a question.
I found NSS could be disabled by "./configure --disable-nss" before building it. It means libgcrypt is used.
Do you mean it does not work currently?

Thanks.

Good question. No, it doesn't currently work.

It looks like Dustin pulled the gcrypt code in revno 406
(ecryptfs-utils-76). I vaguely remember him doing that, but I'll speak
with him and we'll decide if we want to reintroduce this code.

I see. Thanks.
