Hehe, thanks very much for your quick reply, now we have the trio complete, and once we upload all three, the next step can happen, namely the kernel-package patching (and NMU, since Manoj is unavailable for the next time, i asked him to approve the move, but not sure he will be around to read). > Here's a concept yaird patch; basically Sven's patch with a bit of > extra error checking and a minimal host version. Hey, i didn't know the mkinitrd wrapper was shell, or i would have done it myself. I wonder why you need the : if [ "$supported_host_version" != "" ] though, since by default, it will test for an empty string, so this seems redundant, but maybe there is some obscure shell thingies i am not aware of. > The patch claims support for 2.6.8, which is where development > started, but later yaird versions only have had testing with > newer kernels.

Not a good idea, 2.6.8 is the sarge kernel, and it should be best to keep at least 2.6.8 host systems in the compatibility list, for sarge26 -> etch upgrades. Not sure about target system, anything below 2.6.12 is rather academic there. Also, i would like to hear your comments on the yaird-using sarge24 -> etch upgrade path ? > BTW: I'm happy to see you'll move the yaird packaging to Alioth, > that should give more continuity than a TLA archive I keep at home. :) > Given the move to Aliot, I think further contributions from me > could better be done as simple patches than as full packages. > The combination of debian packaging and TLA I now use is > cumbersome to say the least, so I'm eager to drop it. We use subversion on alioth, is that fine ? And do you have an alioth account and want to participate directly, or prefer to use the patching method ? Anonymous checkouts are possible too, which allow for easily sending patches per email, i think. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
