Stephen C. Tweedie's answer: "There will be, and I'll be working on it soon." In the announce mail for 0.0.5e Stephen wrote about his plans: "I want to move to a freeze of this development code a week or so after 0.0.6. I'll move to a 0.9 numbering at that point to indicate that this is to be stabilised for an ext3-1.0 as soon as possible, which means basically that as much testing as possible would be appreciated, so I'll be doing RPMs for the kernel as of 0.0.6." ---SNIP--- "The plan is to go to a kernel-style numbering scheme once we have codefreeze: 0.9 will be the codefreeze for a 1.0 release, but I'll fork a 1.1 branch for developments such as a 2.4 port while 1.0 is kept stable and supported as the baseline 2.2 version." <eoq> what USB devices do you have that don't have a backport? ___ eric pareja ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ~-=[O]=-~ Here, have a clue.
