Even though I personally think all out-of-tree kernel modules should be deleted (the proper way for the features to appear in Debian is via the upstream linux kernel - any other way is just avoiding QA), this is what the packages NEWS.Debian file says: fuse (2.6.5-2) unstable; urgency=low The fuse-source package is back. Even though fuse comes with all recent 2.6 kernels, some software (i.e. ntfs-3g) needs the most recent fuse API to enable all its features. -- Adam Cécile (Le_Vert) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 17 May 2007 12:56:42 +0200 Has kernel upgrades since then included the features ntfs-3g needs? If not, maybe it's better to not enable these at all until then to avoid the maintenance burden of the the fuse-source package. Removing the "binary" fuse-source package is a simple enough way to fix the problem, but maybe the maintainers should ACK it before anyone thinks of uploading a NMU here. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
