Bug#331268: ITP: loop-aes-modules -- auto-build loop-AES binary modules
Package: wnpp
Owner: Max Vozeler <xam@debian.org>
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : loop-aes-modules
Version : 3.0d+3.0b+1
Upstream Author : Max Vozeler <xam@debian.org>

Description : auto-build loop-AES binary modules (deb and udeb)
This package auto-builds loop-AES binary module packages for a
configurable list of kernels and archs (currently 2.6.12).
The module packages are required to support installing onto
loop-AES encrypted partitions in debian-installer. This needs an
udeb for the d-i kernel in first stage and a module package that
can be installed before booting into second stage.
I would appreciate feedback/review from people with experience
auto-building external modules.
cheers,
Max

(There was a promising discussion on debian-kernel recently about
a common framework for auto-building external modules. The need for
this package will likely go away once that framework can be used.)
