Bug#222483: ITP: loop-aes-utils -- Tools for mounting and manipulating encrypted filesystems

[Max Vozeler <max@hinterhof.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : loop-aes-utils
  Version         : 2.11z
  Upstream Author : Andries Brouwer <aeb@cwi.nl>, Jari Ruusu, others
* URL             : ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/aeb/util-linux/ 
                    http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/

  Description     : Tools for mounting and manipulating encrypted filesystems

 This package provides the mount(8), umount(8), swapon(8),
 swapoff(8), and losetup(8) commands from util-linux. They are
 patched to support different implementations of the encrypted
 loopback kernel drivers.
 .
 These commands are known to work with
   * loop-aes
   * cryptoloop (stock 2.6 kernels)
   * cryptoapi (kerneli).
 
Rationale for packaging: loop-aes does not work with the util-linux mount
package in Debian. This package has Jari Ruusu's merged crypto patch
applied with the aim of testing and stabilizing it and then submitting
it for inclusion upstream and/or in Debian util-linux.
 
I'm also looking for a sponsor for this package. Until it's uploaded to
the archive you can find the package here or on my website;

  deb http://hinterhof.net/~max/debian ./
  deb-src http://hinterhof.net/~max/debian ./
