Since a version of Open vSwitch has been accepted for inclusion in
mainline Linux 3.3, perhaps it could be included in Debian kernel
packages starting with Linux 3.2 and then this binary package could be
removed. However I don't know whether the mainline version is fully-
featured.
Hi Ben,
the mainline version is fully featured and I envisage that the
openvswitch-datapath package can be removed from the archive at some point.
I would value your input on how that might be best achieved.
As for the compile problem below, this is intended by upstream,
though perhaps isn't appropriate for Debian. I'll take guidance
on that issue from upstream.
