sounds like the way to go ... ;) btw, do you have pending changes which are not in the svn repository yet (like the patch regarding slots from u.kuehn)? and what about releasing cryptsetup 1.0.6? i'd like to upload a new cryptsetup to debian soon. debian lenny will be released as stable in the second half of 2008, and i'd like to have a stable cryptsetup package for that as early as possible. > Btw. we really want exclusive access for luksOpen.
