I'm assuming hardwaremain is dead, although I will be sorry to see our very first linuxbios message go in the ashbin of history. :-) > Ron I don't know how to manage it but we need to setup a system where > we have releases of the core codebase.

Do you have (or does anyone have) experience with managing this sort of thing? I agree that the tree has been moving pretty quickly. I would request the committers to use the RFC process to this list before making far-reaching changes. Any change that involves .inc or .S files is far-reaching, no matter how small it looks. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
