Not to mention that a lot of the patches in Xu's sources breaks sparc builds, so I wont accept any bugs about stock kernel-source-2.4.24 not building on sparc. Generally I build-dep on the stock source, and usually back out any patches that Xu has applied, and then re-apply patches for sparc (which I am not sending to Xu because then we have a two layer maintainership, which is a bitch). -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
