[13:51] <xnox> mpt: in the LUKS encryption for the manual partitioner we simply have the password fields.
[13:51] <xnox> but the alternative installer exposes many encryption options

[13:51] <xnox> e.g. key size, encryption & IV algorithms.
[13:52] <xnox> typically there is no reason to change them.
[13:52] <mpt> xnox, dude, now you tell me? :-)
[13:52]  * xnox sorry
[13:52] <xnox> now the question is shall I keep the current design.
[13:52] <xnox> Or do it "LVM" style
[13:53] <xnox> e.g. Add a button "Encrypt volumes.."
[13:53] <xnox> and do something like: pick a volume to encrypt, pick settings & password.
[13:53] <xnox> and go back to the usual screen.
[13:53] <xnox> and treat the encryped volume as a normal disk, with no other changes =/
[13:54] <xnox> or
[13:54] <xnox> use your design, and not expose the encryption options.
[13:54] <xnox> the caveat there is "support for legacy system / keep encryption options the same as installs from ages ago for _compatability_"
[13:56] <xnox> mpt: sorry for spoiling your Monday. But it's just something to think about.
[13:56] <xnox> tbh. these encryption settings can be preseeded & i like your design.
[14:00] <mpt> xnox, I probably won't have time to look at it until Thursday, but feel free to add an "Encryption Options…" button to the "Add Partition" and "Change Partition" dialogs, which opens a secondary dialog with fields for those. Then we can tidy up the fields after Feature Freeze.
[14:02] <xnox> mpt: ok. Passwords in the encryption options... or not? I'd rather people not go there.
[14:02] <xnox> mpt: ditto erase available space first.
[14:02] <xnox> cool thanks.
[14:25] <mpt> xnox, separately, send me (or put in the spec directly) a description of each of the parameters, what the default is, and what the other options are
[14:25] <xnox> ok.
