[Bug 1699216] Re: Encrypted home support
Jeremy, I apologize for the handling of this bug.
Ubuntu 18.04 no longer includes an encrypted home option in the
installer and ecryptfs-utils is being demoted to universe. See LP:
#1756840
Once ecryptfs-utils is in universe, packages in main (like
accountsservice and gnome-control-center) can't depend on it.
My understanding is that Canonical Security would eventually like to
offer ext4 based encryption for home directories, but that feature won't
be implemented in time for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I also understand that
Pop!_OS is switching to promoting full disk encryption in its 18.04
release.
Once again, I apologize that your patches weren't reviewed more promptly
and helpfully. I hope that we Ubuntu developers will do better next time
you propose patches. Feel free to discuss proposed desktop-related
patches with the Ubuntu Desktop team.
