Bugzilla Bug 195648

For the upcoming snapshot I'd like cryptsetup 1.0.5-r1 stabilized. Any issues
let me know on this bug.

go go gadget arches ;)

x86 stable

stable on ppc

Stable for HPPA.

ppc64 stable

just a short question: why is there no /bin/cryptsetup anymore? there's only
/sbin/cryptsetup

Because upstream felt like moving it? Go ask them :P

Also, a stabilization bug (or any unrelated bug) is not the proper place for
asking random questions.

amd64 stable

Can we get this upped in priority for release, please?

Thanks in advance.

This is mostly addressed to sparc developers who are more clever than I am:

I am not sure how to test this and make it stable for sparc, because it
includes an init script, and the /etc/init.d/dmcrypt script will not run unless
we are baselayout-2.  It's probably possible to check cryptsetup itself,
although that presents some problems, too:  (1) Unless we have disks we wish to
destroy, it seems we need to use a loop-back device (possible according to the
conf.d/dmcrypt file); (2) some systems (like my SB1000) are currently stuck
with kernels <= 2.6.17 because of some kernel/scsi incompatibilities, and
cryptsetup seems to really want >=2.6.19 (I've built every CRYPTO module
possible for my kernel, I think, but I haven't found any way to get cryptsetup
to use any of them.  Its home page does not supply much help; perhaps I'll end
up reading the Gentoo howtoo in German.)

By the way, at build time the configure script told me that with my kernel I
could not use CBC, so I am not sure why it went ahead and built it in.

Well, baselayout2 isn't a candidate for stable at this time, so nothing to do
with the init script is really necessary, since it is only used for
baselayout2.  A loopback test it just fine.  We're running dangerously close to
when I really need this done, so any help I can give, I will.

alpha/ia64 stable, thanks Tobias
