In addition, madwifi does not "release" anything - the entire codebase is in cvs with no releases ever: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82936
This is just flat out terrible form. It says quite a few things about the developers which I won't go into just yet - but in order to properly maintain the arch package, in a bleeding edge fashion, we're going to have to build nightly madwifi packages. That's just dumb. There's also a little unspoken policy that official packages should not be cvs/svn/source control based, but have real tarballs behind them. So, complain to the madwifi people. I'm sure if they released one tarball, we'd have an official package.... But as it stands, you want someone to release "madwifi-0.0.0" On 9/23/05, Celti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's in unsupported because no TU has either the time, equipment, or > inclination to pick up the package and maintain it. unsupported is not > packages that don't work with Arch, it's just packages that are > uploaded by people in the arch community, and not maintained by a TU > or a dev. > > On 9/23/05, Georg Grabler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've bought a madwifi card today, and basically have no problem rebuilding > > the > > driver every time again. > > > > But why is it unsupported and not in community? > > > > The madwifi driver is not less beta than the ipw2100/ipw2200 driver is, and > > till now worked flawlessly with any atheros card i have had (11mbit - 108 > > mbit were all atheros cards, since it seems as if it is the only widespread > > chipset used on PCI cards, the few prism cards wich are around arn't really > > realistic). > > > > Kind regards, > > Grabler Georg > > > > _______________________________________________ > > arch mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch > > > > > ~ Patrick Burroughs > A.K.A.
