pmount
mount removable devices as normal user
pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal
users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. This
provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia
project and confines the amount of code that runs as root to a minimum.
.
If a LUKS capable cryptsetup package is installed, pmount is able to
transparently mount encrypted volumes.

Changelog:
pmount (0.9.99-alpha-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream experimental release, bringing in a lot of new features:
- fscking (closes: #513431, #488627, #542779, since all of these bugs,
though different, come from the impossibility to run fsck on a
filesystem before mounting)
- now by default forbidding mounts by users not physically logged in,
which prevents mount races (closes: #431286)
- whitelisting firewire (closes: #616019)
- checking the sanity of the target device before attempting to mount
it, which in particular prevents long errors with a 'no medium found'
error (closes: #615979)
- finally opening the possibility to mount user images through loop
devices (closes: #373580)
* Added a news entry about the new configuration file
* Update watchfile to accept -alpha in the release number
