No plans to remove it from Debian of course. [email protected] is the list for IDE discussions there days. Given it's not purely an IDE thing keeping linux-kernel on the thread sounds like a good idea. > > I'll work on a script now, still looking for someone whoe could help > > on the packaging bits for a kernel-source-2.6.7 that uses split-patches. > > Why not use dpatch ? > > Works pretty well for other packages i handle myself.

I don't care at all how it's implemented in detail. I already mentioned dpatch previous and cdbs and quilt.

Who jumps in to help with the work gets to choose the mechanism ;-)
