Cryptsetup 2.7.2 [Solved]

[Charlie Brown]

The latest stable cryptsetup release version is 2.7.2

[MadMax]

Any reason/feature for the new version? I'd probably stick with Debian Stable's stock version for such a core package.

2.7.2 is super bleeding-edge and there is a lot going on here (seems mainly related to arm and/or systemd, but still).

[Charlie Brown]

No specific reasons. Just for its considered "stable" by its maintainers.

It sure doesn't seem stable:

Code: Select all

[2024-04-09] Accepted cryptsetup 2:2.7.2-1 (source) into unstable (Guilhem Moulin)
[2024-03-10] Accepted cryptsetup 2:2.7.1-1 (source) into unstable (Guilhem Moulin)
[2024-03-07] Accepted cryptsetup 2:2.7.1-1+exp (source) into experimental (Guilhem Moulin)
[2024-03-04] Accepted cryptsetup 2:2.7.0-1+exp2 (source) into experimental (Guilhem Moulin)
[2024-02-26] Accepted cryptsetup 2:2.7.0-1 (source) into unstable (Guilhem Moulin)
[2024-02-26] Accepted cryptsetup 2:2.7.0-1+exp (source) into experimental (Guilhem Moulin)

We would have to test a lot of stuff for the 2.7.2 if this gets the go-ahead. Unless there is a problem with 2.6 it is probably best we wait for the Trixie cycle.

Ok :)
