Debian packaging utilities for Truecrypt source 20080928 (Default branch)
Debian packaging utilities for Truecrypt source helps to get Truecrypt running with a minimum of effort under Debian-based Linux systems (Debian and Ubuntu are officially supported). Truecrypt is an open source disk encryption software which uses a concept of containers to store encrypted data. The containers (or volumes) can be read transparently under Linux and Windows. The utilities create installable *.deb packages from the sources and those debs can be used in turn to install the encryption software. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This is a major release. Package names have changed to tc-*, so that trademark name usage is now more accurate. The *.deb control files now contain proper "Conflicts:" to prevent installation of the same software twice. Previous deb packages are not compatible with the ones generated with this release. A few manual "dpkg --purge" commands need to be given during upgrade. Image
