Hi, I do not have the patch any more, can you send me the patch? I am very surprised that my patch is so intrusive (i follow the "normal" debianization procedure, based on the official debian documentation available here: http://www.debian.org/doc/). If so, i will fix it (for what i remember, i only updated the Makefile and add the files for the Debian packages, nothing more).
BTW, i think the current code has several problems: - personally i do not like the spec file, the installation is done manually instead of using the Makefile... a good way to have issues later on, - the Makefile also has a huge problem: it does not allow one to install netbootmgr from the tarball, we currently must install netbootmgr using the RPM. I think this is pretty bad because it does not follow any the rules commonly accepted in software development. I really think these issues should be addressed to avoid a fork. Regards, PS: i submitted the Debian patch in May 2007, therefore a long time ago. Is it the typical delay we have to expect for? i just want to know in order to know on which OSCAR part i have to focus on.
