Great. Unless you have any strong objections, I will probably drop usermode-sources from Gentoo, and suggest that users migrate to gentoo-sources. The problem is that usermode-sources doesn't have a maintainer within Gentoo. At the moment I've been taking care of it, but you know how clueless I am about UML. Also, it's a lot of work to maintain a kernel within a distro, and Gentoo have too many... Thanks for helping us out with the UML bugs, and I hope you will continue spending a few minutes here and there providing input. I don't expect you will, but if you have time, you are always welcome to send important UML fixes to me for inclusion in Gentoo's patchset (we aren't quite as strict as -stable). I'll be keeping an eye on the -bs patchset anyway. Daniel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
