Well, if you kick out the maintainer out of the debian project, no wonder the package is then left in a bad state. I think elementary decency would have one of those having asked for my expulsion take over the package, and take the responsability of their actions. But somehow i doubt this will happen.

Unicorn build results on Lenny against 2.6.26, for completeness.

The USB GPL link issue appears to stem from the closed-source components, which are distributed in .o format only. Debian doesn't distribute pre-built Unicorn modules, and therefore I think the GPL Violation scare warning and refusal to link is a complete red herring for users building modules for their own use in the way that unicorn-source intends. But it would appear that this module is effectively dead for current kernels until someone can do a bit of work on it, even if only to find a way suppress the link error (or omit the unicorn-usb driver?) and do some reliability testing. Philippe Coval's website at http://who.is.free.fr/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=unicorn suggests that Unicorn chipset support is now handled by st.com but that may not help with the USB interface ! I think Philippe may be subscribed to this bug. My test machine has been long term borrowed by my wife so I can't work on this in the Lenny release timeframe :-( Nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#394465: remove unicorn ?
Hi, unicorn (binary unicorn-source) is a kernel driver for a DSL adapter. Unfortunately, if fails to build (with the bug being from 2006) with recent kernels, see #394465. About month ago, Nick Leverton got it to compile with 2.6.24 (but not to link with 2.6.25), but could not test whether it works beyond not crashing the kernel upon loading the module. Moreover, no work seems to have been done with 2.6.26 which has been available in Debian since the end of July. As such, I think we should remove unicorn from lenny for now.
