Hi! I'm happy to announce out-of-the-box support for CryptoAPI on woody on i386. No need to touch source code, nor kernel patches. Just put
deb http://therapy.endorphin.org/cryptoapi/ ./
into your sources.list and depending on your kernel flavor
apt-get install cryptoapi-core-2.4.18-[386|586|586tsc|686...]
apt-get install cryptoloop-2.4.18-[386|586|586tsc|686...]
That's it, no need to reboot. "modprobe cryptoloop" and you're done.
For those that are blessed with a non-i386 architecture or that use self
made kernels, there are - of course - source packages. Same sources.list
line, but
apt-get install cryptoapi-core-src cryptoloop-src
CryptoAPI depends on the kernel building system, therefor it won't without
the kernel source. After
make-kpkg binary-arch
just
make-kpkg modules_image
and cryptoapi-core and cryptoloop will be built fitting your kernel version.
Although I have done my best to get this stuff working properly I recommend
that you consider these packages HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. Do NOT use in
production environment (I'm serious!).
In case you have access to a Debian box running on a non-i386 architecture,
please contact me. For further information on how to use cryptoloop have a
look at http://www.kerneli.org/cryptoapi/howto/
This is not yet an official CryptoAPI release.
Feedback is highly appreciated,
Clemens
