5 years ago lib(x)crypt is not a replacement for general-purpose cryptography libraries like libcrypto or libgcrypt. It only does passphrase hashing. It is a drop-in replacement for the crypt* functions that are currently provided by the C library on most Unixes, and only for those functions.
I'm going to take this report as a request to clarify the documentation so that nobody gets the impression we are a general-purpose cryptography library. Can you explain how you got that impression in the first place?
Someone maybe have some list of projects libxcrypt ready and/or list of patches which can be applied on some projects porting them from any existing crypto API to libxcrypt?
Just made few dnf queries to asses which one projects on Fedora are using existing crypto ABIs: Please leave here some comment if you know that some of below projects can be already switched to use libxcrypt.
