Edit Package veracrypt

VeraCrypt is software for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data is automatically encrypted right before it is saved and decrypted right after it is loaded, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc).
It is based on original TrueCrypt 7.1a with security enhancements and modifications.

- updated to 1.26.7
  - Security: Ensure that XTS primary key is different from the secondary key when creating volumes
    -   Issue unlikely to happen thanks to random generator properties but this check must be added to prevent attacks
    -   Reference: CCSS,NSA comment at page 3: https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/Projects/crypto-publication-review-project/documents/initial-comments/sp800-38e-initial-public-comments-2021.pdf
  - Remove TrueCrypt Mode support. Version 1.25.9 can be used to mount or convert TrueCrypt volumes.
  - Complete removal of RIPEMD160 and GOST89 algorithms. Legacy volumes using any of them cannot be mounted by VeraCrypt anymore.
  - Add support for BLAKE2s as new PRF algorithm for both system encryption and standard volumes.
  - Introducing support for EMV banking smart cards as keyfiles for non-system volumes.
    -   No need for a separate PKCS#11 module configuration.
    -   Card PIN isn't required.
    -   Generates secure keyfile content from unique, encoded data present on the banking card.
    -   Supports all EMV standard-compliant banking cards.
    -   Can be enabled in settings (go to Settings->Security Tokens).
    -   Developed by a team of students from the Institut national des sciences appliquées de Rennes.
    -   More details about the team and the project are available at https://projets-info.insa-rennes.fr/projets/2022/VeraCrypt/index_en.html.
  - When overwriting an existing file container during volume creation, add its current size to the available free space
  - Add Corsican language support. Update several translations.
  - Update documentation

The build fails for factory since the lto switch.

The build fails for tumbleweed. Any clues on how to solve it?

Should be fixed now. There must have been a compiler upgrade, that changed the default c++ standard from 11 to 17, which causes the build to fail.

1.25.4 (December 3rd, 2021)

All OSes:

Speed optimization of Streebog.
Update translations.

Linux:

Add UI language support using installed XML files. Language is automatically detected using "LANG" environment variable
Compatiblity with with pam_tmpdir.
Display icon in notification area on Ubuntu 18.04 and newer (contibuted by https://unit193.net/).
Add CLI switch (--size=max) and UI option to give a file container all available free space on the disk where it is created.
Return error if unknown filesystem value specified in CLI --filesystem switch instead of silently skipping filesystem creation.

…

Personally me, I am looking forward to enjoying "Add UI language support using installed XML files. Language is automatically detected using "LANG" environment variable", have always been waiting for this. :-)

Thank you very much for providing Veracrypt v.1.25.9.

Maybe, it's worth providing a relating veracrypt-lang file including the related translations for package veracrypt.

So far, I helped myself by copying Language.*.xml from https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/trunk/1.25.9/+download/veracrypt-1.25.9-openSUSE-15-x86_64.rpm to /usr/share/veracrypt/languages/.
