Based on patch by Sergio Correia

Closes: #346

year might be changed to 2021

This patch needs a trivial change to also move the clevis-pin-null subfolder to src/dracut and then it will work for version 19.

Why isn't this PR merged after sitting for a year? What can I do to help get it merged? I am also using Clevis on OpenRC with no complaints other than maintaining this patch.

@jpds: could you please rebase this on top of the current tree?

[krishjainx]

@sergio-correia Is it possible to merge this, please? Merging it upstream would eliminate the need for downstream patching.

Could you guys help me install clevis on Alpine? So far clevis works and decrypts any file, but I am not able to add it to initramfs/boot to unlock boot luks volume automatically using tang. dracut -f command doesnt seem to detect clevis and automatic boot unlocking is not taking place.
Thanks guys ! 😄

@gb-123-git If you installed testing/clevis from Alpine's aports then you did not get the patch in this PR and it's not going to work no matter what you do. You have to write a new aport that applies this PR as a patch. (Or probably grab Gentoo's patch and use that because this one has yet to be rebased to latest and OP is probably not coming back to do it)

@Anonymous1157 I really dont know why this was not merged.
How about I fork the github, apply the patch again after merging conflicts ? Will that work ? Will you help me test it ?

@npmccallum @sergio-correia
Would you guys merge it this time if I really work on this? I dont want my many hours to go waste if this is not gonna get merged.

I am open to merging it, so if you want to work on it, please go ahead. Start by rebasing it on top of the current tree.
