Currently there is a deprecation warning in the GUI about EncFS removal.

Currently BIT is at version 1.5.x. The warning need to be more intense and strong and giving more details. Not sure when we should do this. Upcoming release or 2nd release from now.

EDIT: IMHO the goal for a more intense warning should be 1.6.0, which is planed until the end of this year.

  • Warn about disabled EncFS.
  • Warn about removal of EncFS.
  • Add those warnings also to the CLI and maybe into the syslog.
  • Give more precise information about the time frame when this might happen. Disabling EncFS depends on the next Debian release (13) and will happen in 2025 or 2026, after Debian 13 is release (Usually two years after the last release. Then it would be June 2015.). So this warning this Issue is about need to get included in Debian 13.
  • Inform about ongoing replacement with GoCryptFS.
