Package is uncared for

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cryptkeeper/changelog/

= reason =

  1. Package no longer works, segfaults upon finishing setup - many bugs of the same topic
  2. No bugs in the last 4 years have been worked or commented on.
  3. Upstream hasn't updated in 6 years.

= recommendation =

  1. Retire/orphan package
  2. Attempt to find replacement application for gui mounting of EncFS directories

Looks like cryptkeeper package maintainer hicham is not active in Fedora. I saw last real [https://apps.fedoraproject.org/datagrepper/raw?user=hicham activity] by this user was to update FMN filter on 2016-03-29.

I will be away at the time of meeting today.
Good to retire this package if no one still want to maintain it.
I am not sure but maybe gnome-encfs can be alternative here but I think its not in Fedora.

Well, I'm for retiring it altogether: it's not working, nor maintained for few years.

From today's FESCo meeting:

agreed Retire cryptkeeper (+8, 0, 0)

Package is now retired.
