I think everybody agrees with this. It's just that upstream is *not* keeping UP working, and it's not really Dann's job to do it (though he has done quite a bit of work in that area). > and Debian should package them. Even if the upstream UP kernels "just worked", it's not clear to me that would be enough users to justify Debian packages for them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
