I don't know that they did. I have to admit that I don't read these too closely, but it seems that 1.8.3 did get accepted into some Debian release (process): http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-lustre-maintainers/2010-May/000317.html Maybe, being unfamiliar with the Debian processes, I am mis-understanding what that message is saying. There were others at the same time. The archive for May is at http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-lustre-maintainers/2010-May/thread.html > Doubly so because we worked to add the fixes needed to build > on Debian into the Lustre sources, so it is possible to do "make debs" > to get Debian packages using all of the standard Debian packaging tools. I could be wrong (as I have not inspected the actual Debian packages lately) but I don't think they are using our work there (yet?) unfortunately. :-( I would hope that the diff between us and them would be small, and if not that they would report bugs and submit patches. But perhaps also, part of the problem is that our ability to focus time and effort on that stuff is limited by the allocation of resources to supported aspects of the project. i.e. we can only provide "best effort" time and effort.
