| About LOOP-AES and AES-PIPE (Why is it called AES anyway - from what I've | read, there are multiple ciphers avaiable not only AES) - are they in the | gentoo-library? I mean, can I install them with gentoos "emerge". I found | aes-pipe: | | : emerge search aes | * app-crypt/aespipe | Latest version available: 2.2a | Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] | Size of downloaded files: 72 kB | Homepage: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net | Description: Encrypts data from stdin to stdout. | License: GPL-2
The following is for Gentoo users:
You should really be using aespipe 2.3a. Portage has just not been updated, I have an open bug on the gentoo bugzilla.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52046
You can prod them a bit to update portage...
In the meantime you can do the following as root:
1. Uncomment the PORTAGE_OVERLAY in /etc/make. 2. mkdir /usr/local/portage 3. mkdir /usr/local/portage/app-crypt 4. cp -r /usr/portage/app-crypt/aespipe /usr/local/portage/app-crypt 5. cd /usr/local/portage/app-crypt/aespipe 6. cp aespipe-2.2a.ebuild aespipe-2.3a.ebuild 7. ebuild aespipe-2.3a.ebuild fetch 8. ebuild aespipe-2.3a.ebuild digest #after checking GPG sig 9. USE="static" emerge -pv aespipe
| but not aes-loop or loop-aes. I was wondering, if aes-pipe is there why not | the (required?) loop-aes? Or is it hidden?
Loop-aes is not in portage since it involves building modules for your kernel and writing and testing an e-build for every kernel variant is difficult. Feel free to make an e-build if you can and post to Gentoo bugzilla.
