Great - have done so; I've submitted two patches for the master branch to support this activity; one to workaround long UNIX socket path limitations which where causing test failures in the python code when building in sbuild (there was a similar problem a while back in the C code) and one to extend the range of supported kernels to include 3.8. I also cherry picked commit 2520f4528742decf78a8b375f5389b50977f5e4b to support the new header file layout for kernels >= 3.7. I've done some basic testing of this version on the 3.8 kernel in Ubuntu raring and things looks OK. > What I really want to discourage (even though I doubt you are > considering it) is doing anything based on current master, because > there's been a lot of big changes in internal structure and I'm > sure more bugs will be discovered there before it's really ready. Acknowledged - never had any intent todo this. Thanks for the guidance - much appreciated.
