Description Helmut Jarausch 2017-11-24 13:46:45 UTC
sys-fs/loop-aes-3.7l doesn't build anymore with kernel 4.14.{0,1}

error: 'struct bio' has no member named 'bi_bdev'

Kernel 4.14.x has changed quite a lot in the block device interface.

We should wait for upstream to update, please ping me if you are faster than me polling[1]

Comment 2 Helmut Jarausch 2017-12-07 17:17:19 UTC
There is a new version  3.7m  which builds fine with recent kernels.

Please include this into the tree,
thanks,
Helmut
