I didn't, but Amit did. However, it wasn't in time for this upload. It will be in the next kernel though. As far as the linux-meta package, it basically produces packages like: linux-image-generic linux-image-ume linux-image-server These are empty packages that depend on the latest versions of the real kernel packages. E.g linux-image-generic: Depends on linux-image-2.6.22-8-generic, linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-8-generic When the Ubuntu system is installed, the meta packages ensure that when we upgrade the kernel (to linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic), that this new kernel is now what linux-image-generic depends on, and it causes it to be installed for the user. So it's just a convenience package. -- Ubuntu : http://www.ubuntu.com/ Linux1394: http://wiki.linux1394.org/ -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
