For Etch it's too late to include newer driver snapshots, unless they fix RC bugs. Generally I'm not a fan of external driver snapshots providing a more recent version than linux-2.6. They're a PITA to track security-support-wise when they get shipped in a stable release, they confuse users and they sometimes introduce additional bugs due when kernel API changes break things. So, I'd recommend to remove wacom-source from sid as well. Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
