Hi Tiago, this mail contains the latest patch for apticron (which I consider the possibly final patch). It now includes a config option for the apticron.conf file that (by default) will enable the encryption feature. If you have further feature requests or want other changes, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be glad to help!
Bests, Matthias PS: On https://gitlab.com/m007/encrypted-apticron exists a repository that is based on the official debian git repository where I do develop and test my patched apticron version. Instead of asking per mail you even could open up an issue there if you want further changes to the code. PPS: Have yourself a nice weekend
