I also decided to merge compat and compat-drivers -- right now I see no value in them being combined. I therefore created a new backports.git tree. Note that this is very very raw. It doesn't even have the ability to *build* the drivers yet, which is kinda the whole point ... But I had to start somewhere, and obviously that was at step 1: building the sources :-) It's all here, if anyone wants to risk a look. http://git.sipsolutions.net/?p=backports.git;a=summary I'll continue next week, most likely. johannes
