The dependency between loop-aes and util-linux was hard to maintain for both base-system, crypto and users. Basically, all we need is the losetup utility out of util-linux to support loop-aes specific options, this because we can perform losetup and then standard mount/umount over the loop device. I added a new package loop-aes-losetup which builds a specific version of util-linux with loop-aes patch, and installs only losetup utility as loop-aes-losetup. This will enable to drop the loop-aes patches from util-linux and ease maintenance and usage. People who wish to migrate to the new setup can do this now, by using the loop-aes-losetup utility instead of losetup when dealing with loop-aes loop devices, or replacing mount with loop-aes specific options with loop-aes-losetup and mount. I will be happy to answer any question regarding the above, please CC me. Regards, Alon Bar-Lev.
