Pretty sure that although on my system I have 2.6.8-4, it will work with a lesser version such as 2.5.8_3 as on Void. I am using mcrypt because it was simple to implement the user password feature. I am not too sure about openssl as all I am doing is encrypting a file which is stored locally.
Mcrypt is in the Arch repo:

- LinuxBender 4y agoThat make sense. For what it's worth here [1] is an example of using openssl and passwords to encrypt / decrypt files. I only know about this because I had to use this method with a vendor that wanted to keep their software encrypted in transit and wanted to use a passphrase. On Alpine and Void I only see a library and not a binary program. I've also seen some sites say not to use mcrypt because it may be abandonware, but I have no idea how true that may or may not be.
