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

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.
