The only times that maintainers have anything to do with updates is usually immediately after a release when there are bugfixes... these get into CVS because they are typically rebuilds from cooker. Or when we do kernel updates because Juan does most of the work there, but again, these don't go into CVS. > Courtesy of rpm2cpio: > [breser@stream ktemp]$ rpm2cpio kernel-2.4.18.8.1mdk-1-3mdk.src.rpm | > cpio -ivd kernel-2.4.spec > > I put up the spec from that kernel here: > http://mirror.brain.org/misc/kernel-2.4.spec -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
