No idea what his plans are. Many patches for tools to work with 2.5/2.6 have been submitted by andrey (some stuff here: http://supermount-ng.sourceforge.net/mdk-25/) but I do not know if all these have been applied by maintainers.
IIRC while ago various people said they wanted to work on rpm, but than kernelteam said they were working on it. > > A very good idea is to package it as it, without any patch. well, as most experimental stuff from mdk kernel will be in 2.6, not many patches are needed. For the patches that are not included (supermount for instance), it would be still worthwhile to test them IMO. > Can I still dream to have it buildable on sparc/alpha/ppc/ia64/x86_64 ? ofcourse you can, but early kernel releases for other arches have been quite unstable in the past... > > d.
