I've been working with encrypted loops for a year or two now and haven't lost
one yet... I did have a client loose her encrypt-key once though... :') Oh
well...
I found another part of portage that I added into a loop.
Under /var/cache/edb, portage keeps a list of dependence data that get's
searched when working with emerge... Also, the esearch utility uses the same
directory.
I now have the entire conversion process committed to a bash script... I'll
start some simple bench marks tomorrow if I can.
Cheers all and good night.
