src/desktop/ecryptfs-record-passphrase: fix typo, LP: #524139

64. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2010-02-17

debian/rules, debian/control: disable the gpg key module,
as it's not yet functional; does more harm than good to build it;
should not be in 10.04 LTS; clean up build-deps; also, not using
opencryptoki either; unbreak the build for 32-bit Lucid

  - internationalization work for LP: #358283
* po/LINGUAS, po/ca.po: Catalan translation

[ Yan Li <email address hidden> ]
* src/pam_ecryptfs/pam_ecryptfs.c, src/utils/Makefile.am,
  src/utils/ecryptfs-migrate-home: add a script and pam hooks to
  support automatic migration to encrypted home directory

[ Dustin Kirkland ]
* src/utils/ecryptfs-migrate-home: clean up for merge
  - use $() rather than ``
  - drop set -u
  - use = and !=, and quote vars, rather than testing with -ne, -eq,
    for better shell portability
  - improve usage statement and error text
  - check if already encrypted
  - handle migration of multiple users on boot
  - fix all whitespace, use tabs for indents
  - use quotes around variables, rather than ${} (stylistic preference)
  - major simplification for immediate release
    + remove boot and user modes; only support administrator mode for
      security reasons and to avoid race conditions
    + other modes can be re-added, if necessary, and if security
      concerns can be addressed
  - ensure running as root
  - drop VERBOSE option, always print useful info messages
  - call the user $USER_NAME rather than $USER_ID since id implies
    number, and here we're deailing with names
  - no decimals on awk calculation
  - mktemp on the target user, not root
  - check that there is enough disk space available to do the migration
  - ensure the user's homedir group is correct
  - add critical instructions, user *must* login after the migration and
    before the reboot, as their wrapped passphrase will be cleared on
    reboot (possible we should use an init script to move these to
    /var/tmp on reboot)
  - ensure permissions are set correctly
  - improve text at the end of the migration, organize into notes
* ecryptfs-utils.ecryptfs-utils-restore.upstart,
  ecryptfs-utils.ecryptfs-utils-save.upstart, rules:
  - try to protect migrating users who don't login before the next reboot
* debian/ecryptfs-utils.install: install the locale messages
* src/desktop/ecryptfs-record-passphrase: improve dialog text
* src/desktop/ecryptfs-record-passphrase: revert the _ bit, as it's not quite
  working yet, will need to talk to David to fix
* Mark LP: #471725 as fixed

src/utils/ecryptfs-setup-private: fix bug where setup-private
incorrectly assumed that the home/private dir ownerships should
