Subject: 'kernel-patch-cryptoloop' does not apply to any current sarge kernel

Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 13:05:15 +0200

Package: kernel-patch-cryptoloop
Version: 2.4.22.0-25.1
Severity: grave
	
Dear Juergen Strobel (private) 

As reported in http://people.debian.org/~frankie/kernel-patches-checks.txt, kernel-patch-cryptoloop does not
apply clean to a current kernel-source. If you think this package is anyway useful at least with
an up-to-date vanilla kernel and sure that it apply properly, feel free to document this in the 
package and reduce the severity of this report, else this kernel-patch will be hinted for 
removing in sarge.

Hello,

I have fixes for this, but I lost contact to my mentor long ago and
gave up on it, therefore I cannot upload them.

Very few people are using this (~10-30 maybe), and they can get it 
from my site directly. This is only useful for 2.4 kernels, 2.6 has
something better integrated. Upstream is dead.

Maybe it is best to drop this package, even if just to drop
another responsibility of the security team.

I will be on vacation for a week now, afterwards I can help resolve any
problems if it is in my limited power as non-DD package owner.

regards,
Jürgen Strobel

Ok, I'll go ahead and remove it from testing.
