Hi all, ... As you may know, Jens Schmalzing, the mol and mol-modules maiintainer died tragicaly in july. I was led to believe that someone was interested in taking over his packages, but since there was no upload since july, and mol-modules where accumulating bug reports and blocking the 2.6.12-6 kernels (well, blocking the removal of the older kernels), i decided to give a go at it.
mol-modules-2.6.12 is currently in NEW, but my packages can be found also on : http://people.debian.org/~luther/mol If you want to go and grab them earlier, altough NEW processing should be rather fast. I fixed mol so that it builds with gcc 4.0 and the new binutils in sid/etch, i applied the patch Nicolas Det posted here recently so that it built with kernels > 2.6.12, and i specially want to thank Nicolas Det for having tested the packages, i don't think i would have had the courage to tackle this one without his work. Now, i never use mol myself, so altough i am ok for doing pure kernel-related packaging fixes, i am not ready at all to do day-to-day maintenance of the packages, deal with feature request and all loads of non-packaging bug reports, also no idea what upstrteam is about, doesn't seem active recently or something. So, i set up a mol project on alioth (well asked for it, not yet granted), and will have a svn repo there, and i hope to find mol users here who are ready to devote some time to test and help out or whatever. I will do my best to keep the packages in touch with the debian kernels, but i am not monitoring the upstream devel tree, or aware of additional patches and so on. Nor do i build modules myself outside of the official ones. Anyway, enjoy the packages, and if a few can be moved to contribute, that would be very welcome.
