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
