| The following works here: |
| 14 |
| |
| 15 |
| 1) ebuild `equery w loop-aes` unpack |
| 16 |
| |
| 17 |
| 2) cd $PORTDIR/sys-fs/loop-aes-<version>/work/loop-AES-<version>/ |
| 18 |
| |
| 19 |
| 3) make EXTRA_CIPHERS=y |
| 20 |
| |
| 21 |
| 4) cd ../../ |
| 22 |
| |
| 23 |
| 5) touch .compiled |
| 24 |
| |
| 25 |
| 6) cd |
| 26 |
| |
| 27 |
| 7) ebuild `equery w loop-aes` merge |
| 28 |
| |
| 29 |
| |
| 30 |
| (I actually stopped only up to step 3, but it finished w/o error) |

| Since you said something about lack of documentation about loop-aes, |
| 34 |
| have you already found this? |
| 35 |
| |
| 36 |
| http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES.README |
| 37 |
| |
| 38 |
| |
| 39 |
| NOTE: "In order to support AES and other ciphers, mount, umount, |
| 40 |
| losetup, swapon and swapoff need to be patched and |
| 41 |
| recompiled." |
| 42 |
| |
| 43 |
| There's a hope - Gentoo may provide a patched version of util-linux. |
| 44 |
| In case those tools are not already patched I wouldn't go that far on |
| 45 |
| a system which is not especially dedicated for this encryption test of |
| 46 |
| yours. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Thanks for this. I will give it a try, when I get a chance. It is not really |
| 49 |
an encryption test, as you put it, so much as it is frustration at not being |
| 50 |
able to get the extra ciphers to compile. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Oh, and Gentoo already patches util-linux with the patch from loop-aes. One |
| 53 |
big problem that people are experiencing right now it that since the testing |
| 54 |
version of util-linux got bumped up, the old patch will not work anymore - this |
| 55 |
has to be fixed upstream, but I doubt they will do so until the new version of |
| 56 |
util-linux is proven stable. For some reason, the 2.6.24 kernel patch works |
| 57 |
with the 2.6.25 version of the kernel, probably because the files it changes |
| 58 |
have not yet changed. |
