It doesn't say i would not have tried to fix partman-prep for example, which is still broken, as i have the hardware for it, or tried to get the apus 2.6 kernels into .udebs, since i know you will not spare the time to do it. Also, i doubt anyone before me was removed svn commit right for such groubds. > Which all reminds me, I need to set up miboot-enabled builds RSN ... Indeed. I have kept my own buildd working for now though, so people always have a possibility to find a working miboot floppy (haven't have time to do any check with the 2.6.16 miboot floppies though yet).
