[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] new cryptsetup version breaks local setups

[Marc Haber]

Hi,

first let me thank you for caring about cryptsetup and bringing the
package up to date. The package was in dire need of some love and it is
good that it got it.

However, after upgrading from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3, I found my system unable
to boot. I use a local script to unlock the root file system, which
sources /lib/cryptsetup/cryptsetup.functions and uses the
handle_crypttab_line_start function to do it work. Since this function
is gone, the system doesn't boot. Going back to cryptsetup 2.0.2 fixed
the issue for me.

I am aware that I am using an internal interface, hence not a bug report
but this message. I just want you to be aware that there are people
using those internal interfaces that went away with this update which
only touched a third-level version number.

I will have to adapt my scheme and hope that I can cope with that. And
sadly, I do not have a solution to avoid those things in the future. Do
you plan doing similiarly invasive changes in the near future or can I
start my adaption work right now?

Again, thanks for working on the package.

Greetings
Marc
