My kernel-patch packages were all built against the source tree from ftp.kernel.org. All except two of them came from the upstream that way. If someone reports a bug against these packages about problems applying to the Debian kernel-source package then I'll look into it and try and make a patch that applies to both. So far no-one has filed a bug report so presumably my patches all apply to the kernel-source packages (or the people who use the kernel-source packages don't use the patches I manage). So I say - don't worry about it unless/until you get bug reports. -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
