Somehow this section existed two times in the man page with similar information.
Enhance it with notes regarding wayland and adjust the recommened pinentry programs.
GTK2 is long time EOL and actively being fased out by distributions, which makes pinentry-gtk2 obsolete.
pinentry-tty will work on every headless system or from a textual interface. pinentry-curses may end up starting if the respective ncurses is available.
Swish is outdated and recoll works much better as a frontend to
xapian, so we adopt it to provide local search over file contents in a
tomb. This update also makes plocate optional to search over file
names, not mandatory. Recoll works also in GUI using its -c
commandline option followed by the indexed tomb's path.
The --filesystem option can be used to specify
an alternative filesystem used to format the tomb, in place of the default "ext4".
Beside "btrfs" now the following parameters to --filesystem are supported:
"ext3" using operating system defaults
"ext4" using operating system defaults
"btrfs" for tombs >= 47MB using operating system defaults
"btrfsmixedmode" for tombs >=18MB btrfs mixed mode (see mkfs.btrfs(8))
"ext3maxinodes" ext3 with a maximum of inodes (for many small files)
"ext4maxinodes" ext4 with a maximum of inodes (for many small files)
These changes help use scenarios in which there is a great number of small files
and/or directories in a small filesystem, like e.g. the pass-tomb extension to pass.
* KDF support for argon2 memory intensive algorithm
following many requests, here is support for argon2 KDF to be switched
on using --kdftype argon2 (--kdf iterations --kdfmem memory)
effective memory required is 2^memory KiB, defaults to 18 (262 MiB)
number of iterations are still specified as --kdf argument
requires the argon2 reference C implementation from P-H-C
also requires tomb-kdb-pbkdf2-gensalt in extras/kdf-keys
example usage:
tomb forge -k argon.key --kdf 10 --kdftype argon2
* manual updates for argon2
now supporting also pkexec (polkit daemon), suckless' sup and
sud.dyne.org
pkexec is autodetected when polkit is running
manpage documents the --sudo flag which overrides any autodetection
this reverts commit 843b7fdfc4
and refers to various issues, among them #268
on the long term its easy to realise how this is a usability feature for most
users, so we just provide a new '-p' flag to preserve ownership on open.
also removed pre-open and post-close as they don't really make sense
since all hooks are contained inside the Tomb. The post-close may be
implemented using a temp file, if a use case turns up for it.
Renamed file from "post-hooks" to more appropriate "exec-hooks".
Implemented and documented a more consistent call system made of 4
different stages: pre-open, post-open, pre-close, post-close.
Addresses issue #265
tomb doesn't need lsof for anything else, and can work regulary without it.
So make it an optional feature, which allows to slam a tomb if lsof is installed
Updates additionally the man page and generates a new pdf from it
