*** M I R R O R S W A N T E D *** [Announce] New cryptoapi RPM packages for Mandrake 8.1 Hello, I have compiled ready-for-use RPM packages for Linux cryptoapi, for Linux-Mandrake 8.1 These packages bring cryptoapi support to Linux, for on-the-fly encrypted filesystems, a feature comparable to what tools like Scramdisk or PGPDisk do on other proprietary OSes. These packages come in 2 flavours: - 1 "light" installation consisting of 3 small RPMS for losetup, mount, and cryptoapi-standalone, which can be installed without touching the kernel on a Vanilla Mandrake 8.1 - 1 "complete" installation consisting of RPMs for losetup, mount, and cryptoapi-ivmode, plus a complete series of kernel 2.4.8-26 packages, patched and rebuilt to allow iv-mode-sector support for loopback encrypted filesystems. The first set of packages is light to download and install, but encrypted volume created with it may not be portable from one device to another. The 2nd set of packages is more complete, and allows encrypted volumes to be portable, but it is much bigger to download and a little more complex to install. These packages are experimental and non-official, they are not supported by Mandrakesoft. This packages were made on a Mandrake 8.1rc1 system and are fully compatable with it. They should be as well compatable with the official Mandrake 8.1 upcoming release. They may also be compatable with recent RedHats, but this is yet untested. The documentation file describing these packages in detail is available at: ftp.i-quake.com/pub/crypto/linux/cryptoapi/mandrake-unofficial/8.1/RPMS/ cryptoapi-2.4.7.0-2.4.8_26.README.txt ****************************************************************************** The cryptoapi RPMs and related packages are available from: ftp.i-quake.com/pub/crypto/linux/cryptoapi/mandrake-unofficial/8.1/ ****************************************************************************** If you wish to mirror these packages on other FTP sites, please feel free to do so. There is no "home" web page related to this RPM build. Please refer to the Sourceforge Cryptoapi page at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cryptoapi/ ****************************************************************************** Your feedback and comments are welcome. -- michel@xxxxxxxxxxxx OpenPGP DH/DSS ID 0x5C2BEE8F Si vous préférez que votre e-mail privé reste... privé.
