Description Peter Schiffer 2026-01-04 21:25:07 UTC
Hello,

fuse-encfs package hasn't been added to the EPEL 10 repository so far, could you add it?

Thanks,

peter

Hey Peter. I wouldn't recommend to build EncFS for EPEL. Its unmaintained for a while and original author suggests an alternative - gocryptfs. It is a modern successor to EncFS, offering better performance, active maintenance, and improved security (whereas EncFS has unaddressed vulnerabilities and is no longer actively developed).

Please check if gocryptfs is available.

Hello Peter,

thank you for the feedback - in general I do agree that fuse-encfs should not be used anymore for new projects as better alternatives are available. However, for older, legacy systems, and for users with data already encrypted with encfs it would be beneficial to have fuse-encfs package available in the el10 as well (so they can upgrade the OS). Also, it's still available in Fedora, so building it for epel 10 shouldn't be too much hassle, I hope.

Thanks for the consideration,

peter
