That's okay by me then. Still, I wonder whether the package is really necessary with my packages in Debian proper, and a synchronized upload would be nice no matter what. > The main problem is that building modules from the headers doesn't > seem to quite work, which is something i need to fix. Plain and simple, building from the headers only will never work for the current build structure of mol. > I was thinking about having a list of modules (alsa, mol, etc ...) which > we could build directly from the kernel package, so there would be no > need to rebuild the kernel from sources as you currently do, [...] > What do you think of it ? It's probably better to keep the pre-packaged modules in a separate source package, mainly because they need to be rebuilt against new releases of both the kernel and mol. And I do *not* rebuild the kernel, but only unpack and depend the source tree. This is not a big deal. > BTW, what about -power3 and -power4 ?

Frankly, I don't like the idea of having repositories for the sole purpose of working around the waiting time in queues. I agree they are nice for testing new packages, but so are sid and sarge.
