Hmm, but the alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.bz2 seems still missing? Only alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.bz2 is present. >> 3) Could you explain the difference between alsa-driver-snapshot and >> alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot, and how the alsa-kernel.git, >> alsa-driver.git and sound-2.6.git come together to form the two >> different tarballs? > > alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot is created from a combination of > sound-unstable-2.6.git and alsa-driver-build-unstable.git trees, > while alsa-driver-snapshot is from a combination of sound-2.6.git and > alsa-driver-build.git trees.

This means that sound-2.6.git and alsa-driver-build.git are trees to remember unless told otherwise. Hopefully, the next time it breaks I hopefully will be able to also provide a patch against alsa-driver-build.git :-) Btw, I've just got accepted by my manager(s) to go to Linuxcon and the audio BoF, so see you in Prague! I'll be there the full week. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. http://launchpad.net/~diwic
