Source: hotswap Priority: important hotswap is software for managing IDE drives, relying on the old CONFIG_IDE=y IDE subsystem in the kernel. This was designed for Linux kernel series 2.4.
On no Debian release architecture any current kernel enables CONFIG_IDE. Therefore, in a normal Debian setup, this package cannot be used. Users of non-release architectures can always take this from unstable, which I guess they would need to do anyway. Should it be shipped with bullseye, then? I'll consider raising priority of this bug over time, probably rather quick. Chris
