[arch-dev-public] [remove] drop loop-aes from util-linux-ng?
Hi guys, according to Thomas statement in this bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18119 Do we still need the loop aes patch? I don't use it at all. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

Repeating that statement here: loop-aes is 1) Deprecated in favor of dm-crypt 2) Never going to be merged upstream This violates Arch policies and always has. Plus, we are waiting for util-linux-ng bugfixes because we have no current loop-aes patch - that is just crazy.

I agree with every word, didn't even know we had loop-aes. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
