Yes, please do it! :-) As Heinz seems to release his next version as 0.9, there will be no numbering conflicts, and even if your 0.8.1 will not be 'made official' by him, it'll be a common ground for further 0.8 bugfixing. Heinz did a great job with LVM, but still I bet 0.9 will have some nasty new bugs, so people using LVM on production systems will prefer using 0.8+patches over 0.9 for some time. The problem I have with Andreas' RPMs is, that there are no announcements of new versions (at least not on any mailing list I read), so I need to regularily check if they contain some new patches I need. And tar is more convenient for people not using rpm. Jan
