  Aye votes: Ronald Landheer-Cieslak [1/3]
     Status: Package available.
   HOLD-UPS: Not enough votes (need 2 more). No "good to go" review.

Actually, Stipe Tolj voted pro as well (see follow up to my ITP).


Two remarks, as an incentive to get a review:

The package builds basically out of the box, but then there is a
dependency to crypt, due to the backwards compatibility mode. Correspondence with the author revealed, that by changing a line in the configure.in file (and running autoconf) one can archive, that ccrypt uses its own drop-in replacement.


To try it out (-t is for the "timid", i.e. the password is asked twice):

seidl@BELLARMIN ~
$ ccencrypt -t mypasswds.txt
Enter encryption key:
Enter encryption key: (repeat)

seidl@BELLARMIN ~
$ ccdecrypt mypasswds.txt.cpt
Enter decryption key:
