Hi Philip, I'm happy to review these patches with a view to committing them, however I'm not sure that anyone is maintaining the 1.x branch as such. I used to add patches there from time to time, but its been a while. And I don't think there is any release schedule. I guess that if there is significant demand for 1.2.x maintanance it could be revivied - perhaps several people/organisations are doing there own maintanance and that energy could be tapped. However, as 2.1.x seems to be at least as stable as 1.2.x ever was, and 2.1.x has a compatibility mode to run 1.2.x configs, I wonder if the effort is worthwhile - yes I do undertsand about existing customers that need support, but even so. P.S. Thanks for CCing me, that helps my a lot. -- Horms _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
