I had a chance to talk to some of the RedHat folks about Clevis @ the
plumbers conference earlier this month. Interesting & exciting stuff.
Cool, someone also mentioned talking with you about TPM stuff (Peter or
Nathaniel I believe).
The next release of the tools doesn't depend on a new release of
the
TSS libraries so that should be off the critical path. The tools
I don't think that's true. At least when I try to build tpm2-tools master
with tpm2-tss 1.2.0, I get the following build errors:
https://pastebin.com/raw/6V4HBQPh
But it does build with tpm2-tss master of course. I haven't dig deeper to
see if the changes that break the build could be cherry-picked to the 1.X
branch though.
release is however blocked on a bug in the tabrmd. This is my next
work
item.
Yes, I've been following the discussion but had remained silent lately
because I need to re-read/study the context management part of the specs
to better understand what the problem is and the suggested solutions.

With the tools blocked on the tabrmd we'll be doing a release of the
two in tandem. I'm expecing that the work I've signed up for there to
be on the order of "a few weeks". So while I'm always hesitant to state
release goals publicly I think this can be ready for a release toward
the end of October. Can't make any guarantees but that's our goal.
Another problem is what would happen when the kernel resource manager is used,
since AFAIK there's no agreement yet on what the tools should do in that case.
Best,
Philip
