scrypt estimates the amount of available RAM, and ignores RLIMIT_DATA on
systems which have mmap. From tedu@ (http://mail.tarsnap.com/scrypt/msg00263.html):
"...this is the wrong thing to do for OpenBSD. On OpenBSD, rlimit_data
is applied to anonymous mmap (since that's now the heap) for
consistency. RLIMIT_RSS is a vestigal do nothing define."
Issue is fixed by reverting 2b478e7ce5
While here set COMPILER and COMPILER_LANGS to fix building on sparc64
and powerpc (from kmos@, and tested by kmos@ and cwen@).
OK cwen@, "patch looks good to me" tedu@
Significant change since 1.2.1 is that in addition to the scrypt
command-line utility, a library "libscrypt-kdf" is build and installed.
While here:
- Change HOMEPAGE/MASTER_SITES to https
- Enable tests
- Set DEBUG_PACKAGES
OK sthen@
A simple password-based encryption utility as a demonstration of
the scrypt key derivation function, greatly increasing the cost of
a brute force attack compared to openssl enc.
feedback and liaison with author from Predrag Punosevac, thanks!
