Loop-aes 3.0b ebuild quits when the correct kernel options are present. Loop-aes requires BLK_DEV_LOOP=n which means unset. Here is the error------------------------------------ * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.9-gentoo-r13 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options * CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP: should be set in the kernel configuration, but isn't * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging * this package again. Here is what is set: # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep BLK_DEV_LOOP # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP is not set Loop-aes README which says BLK_DEV_LOOP should be 'n' ( unset ) 3. Instructions for building loop.o driver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before you attempt to build loop.o driver (loop.ko on 2.6 kernels), you *must* configure, compile and install new kernel so that CONFIG_MODULES=y and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=n. Also, CONFIG_KMOD=y is recommended but not required (kernel 2.0 doesn't have CONFIG_KMOD, set CONFIG_KERNELD=y instead). Configuring your kernel so that loop driver is built-in (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y) or module (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m) will *not* work. After building and installing your new kernel, do not attempt to clean kernel tree, or rename path to kernel sources.
I thought I had that ebuild tested long enough in bug 71603 .. I wonder why such bugs come up after that period .. Nevertheless thanks for reporting, fixed in the tree.
