couldn_t resist :) count my vote too i'm building kernels based on the src.rpm and i sent several trivial fixes to the list, but not a single reply :( just for example exaudio in 3rdparty doesn't build since pre7-1mdk (broken Makefile & Config.in) i sent the patch after each new kernel, but no reply and the module is still not built. ipmi(broken since pre7-1mdk), mod_dvb (compiled in the src.rpm since pre7) ...... best, svetljo > I happily volunteer to make the kernel suck less, but I need kernelteam > to > at least respond when somebody asks/suggest things (well, to be fair, > sometimes you get a very fast and nice response, but not always).
