well, now I'm confused...
2 People, two opinions....

Here's a URL for a complete tarball, "sharing" the download location with
our other driver.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ibmehcad/ehea_EHEA_0002.tgz

We're waiting for a sourceforge project now since 9 days to put out a tgz,
and it looks like many other people get upset right now by their response
time.

So what's the "right"/preferred way to proceed?

nope.

Please read and observe:  Documentation/SubmittingPatches
and Section 3 of it, References, for other sources of
expectations/requirements.

The -mm tree also contains Documentation/SubmitChecklist
that you may find useful.
