Please test tarsnap 1.0.29 (now with re-encryption)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
Version 1.0.29 of the Tarsnap client code is ready for testing. You can find it
at https://www.tarsnap.com/download/tarsnap-autoconf-1.0.29.tgz, and the tarball
has SHA256 hash a86dc84f1086ac5cf100f6af3da90d5aff44d395fe27b65acf7beeae8f4f49fa
right now. (If I upload a new tarball to fix things, I'll send another email to
this list with an updated SHA256 hash.)
The only significant change since 1.0.28 is the addition of two new utilities:
* tarsnap-keyregen, which takes an existing key file and generates a new key
file which is "compatible" with the old for the purpose of tarsnap-recrypt,
and
* tarsnap-recrypt, which takes an old key file and a new key file, and reads
all the data stored with the old keys, decrypts it, and re-encrypts and
re-uploads it using the new keys.
Obviously, this arises out of the encryption bug I fixed in version 1.0.28; with
tarsnap-recrypt it's possible to keep all your historical archives rather than
needing to nuke everything and start over in order to eliminate potentially
poorly-encrypted data.
Please test. :-)
