This is wrong, since last time I checked the maintainer stepped
back from the tast. And I understand reintegration into the
mainstream kernel proper maintainance as well. (The two versions
are *VERY* different).

The ftape driver isnt exactly poorly maintained. Its just not integrated into
2.3/2.4. Ftape 4.0 is still elsewhere

Remarks about sigtestsetmask()

2000-09-05 Thread Martin Dalecki

1. This function is only used in the poorly maintained ftape driver.
   The usage there isn't appriopriate for modern kernels.

2. This function acts only on the sig set of the current process, so
   the first parameter should be just  a porinter to current, instead of
   currgen->sigset.

So it should be presumably removed all-together.
