But what would you be packaging exactly? Remember that the kernel modules in lm_sensors2 CVS are *not* suitable for 2.6 kernels. What Rudolf was proposing was to backport one given driver from a recent 2.6 kernel to 2.6.9. This would be done on an individual basis. There is no out-of-tree set of hardware monitoring drivers working for every 2.6 kernel, like we had for 2.4 kernels. -- Jean Delvare
