Uff. Sigh. The license. This is the reason why Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora etc. do not package it. The web is full of debates about the supercool license and its restrictions. Clearly, it isn't cool. Otoh, for example, arch linux has it.

To put that aside I just created a new package here. It won't depend on kernel power or anything, but instead use a wrapper script which checks if the kernel has the xts moduleavailable. If not, it will start it tc with -m nokernelcrypto. That simple. Will upload it in the coming weeks once the license concerns disappear (IANAL).


You are right. I realized this after a while that paragraph was written, but forgot to modify it (no excuse). Thx for pointing that out.
