Hi there,

I've been trying to install your kernel into my debian squezze/sid
system for test the new features of btrfs with failure so far.
My problem is that I have a 2.6.32 kernel and recent changes affecting
the btrfs system is not implemented so your repo seems like a
life-savior.

The only thing is that I am not able to fetch it.
I always stuck to
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Also I wouldn't mind updating the kernel to newer ones although I am
not able to find any repositories with .deb files for 2.6.32 and
above. The only choise so far is experimental 2.6.36 repo which seems
to work but I don't have the linux-kbuild for installing the headers.
Thus the idea of building one myself.
Any suggestion of how to get the new changes of btrfs on my linux-box
would be welcome.

Thanks
Leonidas
