(/me looks closer at the sparse-conversion...) It seems you exported the complete parent information and this is exactly the "nitty-gritty" I was "whining" about and which is not available via bkcvs or bkweb and it's the most crucial information to make the bk data useful outside of bk. Larry was previously very clear about this that he considers this proprietary bk meta data and anyone attempting to export this information is in violation with the free bk licence, so you indeed just took the important parts and this is/was explicitly verboten for normal bk users. bye, Roman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
