EncFS: Intense GUI warning about its removal #1904
Description
Related to
- Transition of encryption feature: Remove EncFS (and replace it if possible) until year 2029/30 #1734
Currently there is a deprecation warning in the GUI (global & profile specific) about EncFS removal.
Currently BIT is at version 1.5.x. The warning need to be more intense and strong and giving more details. Not sure when we should do this. Upcoming release or 2nd release from now.
EDIT: IMHO the goal for a more intense warning should be 1.6.0, which is planed until the end of this year.
- Warn about disabled EncFS.
- Warn about removal of EncFS.
- Add those warnings also to the CLI and maybe into the syslog.
- Give more precise information about the time frame when this might happen. Disabling EncFS depends on the next Debian release (13) and will happen after it. It's Hard Freeze is scheduled for 15th May 2025 and its release some weeks after that. So this warning Issue is need to get included in Debian 13.
- Inform about ongoing replacement with GoCryptFS.
