Software Release - gpgdir-1.4

The 1.4 release of gpgdir is ready for download. This release adds two new options that allow previously encrypted or decrypted files to be overwritten. Here is the ChangeLog:

• (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to implement the --overwrite-encrypted command line argument to allow previously encrypted files to be overwritten. This is useful for updating an encrypted directory with new versions of the previously encrypted files. Also added the --overwrite-decrypted command line argument to perform the same function for previously decrypted files.
• (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to fix a bug where a filename of "0.gpg" could not be decrypted because "0"

As an example, here is the output gpgdir produces when encrypting a directory:

[mbr@minastirith ~/src/gpgdir]$ gpgdir --Exclude "GnuPG-Interface/t" --encrypt GnuPG-Interface
[+] Executing: gpgdir --Exclude GnuPG-Interface/t --encrypt GnuPG-Interface
Using GnuPG key: A742839F
Enter password (for initial encrypt/decrypt test)

Software Release - gpgdir-1.1

The 1.1 release of gpgdir is ready for download. This is a major release with new functionality such as the ability to drive the wipe program to securely delete original files after successful encryption. Here is the ChangeLog:

• Added the ability to securely delete the original versions of files with the 'wipe' program (after they have been successfully encrypted). Also added --wipe-path to specify a path to the wipe binary (the default is /usr/bin/wipe), --wipe-interactive to force the wipe program to prompt the user before a file is deleted, and --wipe-cmdline to allow the user to build a set of command line arguments that are passed to the wipe program.
• Added --Force to have gpgdir skip over the error condition where a file cannot be deleted (because of a permissions issue for example).
• Added --Trial-run to allow the user to see what actions gpgdir would take to encrypt or decrypt files, but no files are actually modified.
• Added --Interactive to have gpgdir prompt the user before every file is encrypted, decrypted.
• Added the gpgdir.SlackBuild script (contributed by pyllyukko originally for the psad project) for building gpgdir on Slackware systems.
