### Rakefile for encrypted passwords
########################################################################
#
# Here's a little Rakefile to manage your encrypted password file! It's
# really easy to use:
#
# 1) put the email addresses of the keys you want in AUTHORIZED_USERS
# 2) create a passwords.txt (and ignore it in your SCM)
# 3) run `rake passwords:encrypt`

The best way to use this tool is to hook apt's use of dpkg to run it before doing any package installs.

In your apt.conf, put this:

DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"xargs -L1 bash /path/to/stripdeb.sh 2>&1 | logger -t stripdeb"}

Then, a demo:

% sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
