Hello:
I'm attempting to apply the util-linux patch to the source code for Red
Hat 8.0's util-linux package. Here are my obstacles:
1. The patch included with loop-aes 1.7 is for util-linux-2.11y, and
RedHat 8.0's util-linux rpm is based on 2.11r.
2. Redhat applies a HUGE number of patches to the 2.11r "pristine"
sources before compiling and distributing their rpm file.
3. Lucky enough, during the rpm build process, only 8 hunks fail
(mount/Makefile, lomount, swapon.c[all 4 hunks fail], swapon.8)
Is anyone else out there running loop-aes on Red Hat 8? I'm just
curious if someone else has already done this. I'm a bit (no much)
hesitation to use the pristine, non-RedHat patched 2.11y+loop-aes on my
system, for fear that something might go wrong. That, and I'd like to
be able to provide an easy-to-install RPM to people who want to use this
outstanding software with RedHat 8.
Suggestions, comments?
Thanks,
</CR>
