Please don't reintroduce this package. It was removed in #627413 [1] after the linux(-2.6) maintainer Ben Hutchings requested its removal, The removal was justified by the integration in the mainline kernel. You also want to package a version which is ~3 years old. batman-adv had 11 releases since then as external module (backport) and 14 releases inside the linux kernel. Several rather bad problems were fixed in the meantime (and backported to older kernel versions by the awesome linux-stable maintainers). If you really, really, really, really, really, ... want to add something like batman-adv-legacy [2] (and no one else objects) then please do not use the names "batman-adv-kernelland", "batman-adv-dkms" and "batman-adv-source". It is rather confusing to have a module in Debian which overwrites the in-kernel one with a version that is really old and known to miss a lot of fixes. And about the fixes. Maybe someone interested in batman-adv-legacy could go through the maintenance patches [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15] first and backport them. And please don't use the URL http://www.open-mesh.net/. The upstream homepage is https://www.open-mesh.org/ and I think batman-adv-legacy uses https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/batman-adv-legacy Kind regards, Sven [1] https://bugs.debian.org/627413 [2] https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/batman-adv-legacy [3] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/log/net/batman-adv?h=linux-3.12.y&id=fa59cdc603bfe56ab060084edbf3cab30f1ef7a7..linux-3.12.y [4] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/135602880b28bc7cf12c60fec550a6122851f2e9?hp=v2013.4.0 [5] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/15fb0fab51a3695738f65dfaab045e979fc89dce?hp=v2014.0.0 [6] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/b53915310227cc9b029ba0fa5aae44e50a461f80?hp=v2014.1.0 [7] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/21fa2647ad4547a48da1166a8fa2f951cd7163e2?hp=v2014.2.0 [8] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/7d28d37061fe1ce8866e84a14806a92a5d3abf11?hp=v2014.4.0 [9] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/7ad001a18d1a6e2fd19969fdd671efe99d75920f?hp=v2015.0 [10] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/5019fc0faac0d8f0b377dbc7d27a3899c45237c3?hp=v2015.1 [11] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/cee103946bb05db00e351cf8b5dee9c8aed8d5f8?hp=v2015.2 [12] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/22d98bd45c01e978c9ae439b7d9d1f3c3c65b102?hp=v2016.0 [13] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/f8fd441e1e30f3a274c9bf44cc33372d4065cbb6?hp=v2016.1 [15] https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/refs/heads/maint?hp=v2016.2
