Daily crypto builds
Hi all,
for the past few days I've been testing a setup of daily builds of
partman-crypto enabled d-i. It seems to be working fine, so I'm ready
to have other people try and use it :-)
The builds are done for the netboot and hd-media targets on i386.
They include some extra packages compared to normal builds, some of
which are not yet in the Debian archive:
partman-crypto built daily from SVN
gnupg-udeb built manually with patch from #NNNNNN
cryptsetup-udeb from people.debian.org/~mejo/cryptsetup
loop-aes-$KVERS
crypto-modules-$KVERS
mount-aes-udeb
cdebconf-newt-entropy
The build results can be found on
http://nusquama.org/~max/d-i/crypto/
The usual caveat about these builds not being production-ready and
audited apply. Please use them only when if you intend to test them
and/or develop partman-crypto, NOT for production use.
There is one unsolved issues for now: The partition erase and sometimes
also filesystem creation can trigger the OOM killer and kill the
unrelated main-menu process. This seems to affect only systems with 64mb
ram or less. I'm debugging to find the reasons for it.
Anyways, let me know in case you find any problems with these builds
or have feedback on partman-crypto, etc.
cheers,
Max
