Those things used to work, you broke them. That's jumping to conlusions as you haven't yet proven that it was really me. :) Which would be great because than I can finally start fixing the damage. > It may be worthwile cleanup / improvements, but at the end of the day, > if you are the maintainer for drivers/ide, and things as fundamental as > supporting proper ide_cs seems to be totally part of your job. I'm not Maybe I'm really completely unsuited for the job. I even didn't know that proper supporting of _one_ particular host driver is a _fundamental_ part of the _subsystem_ maintainer's job... > saying ide_cs is broken today (though I suspect it -may- be suffering > from similar breakage to media-bay), however, I'm reacting to your > apparent lack of interest in making sure these things work. If only all people showed so much interest as *IDE*PMAC* Maintainer in making sure that things work (instead of i.e. telling people what should they be doing in their _limited_ _private_ time) we would have nothing to worry about! ;) Can we now go back to fixing ide-pmac breakage? Pretty please. It is not unlikely that it in the time it took for the last four mails it would have been fixed already.
