>What versions is your PPA good for?

It is for lucid. will also work on maverick. Don't use it on Karmic.

>It seems like virtually all of the complexity is in init.d scripts and
udev rules to have things happen automatically. If you were willing to
just do an assemble manually and mount, or in a very few line script at
startup, this could be trivially simple IF (big IF) you are not booting
off of it. Do I have the right idea?

the complexity is mostly down to handling hotplugging events correctly
during bootup and so on.

>If you have not changed any of the 3.1.4 C source, just tracked down
the script and initfs stuff and fixed it,

Originally I took the karmic ubuntu package, and applied the ubuntu
diffs over the 3.1.2 source. fixing up anything that didn't apply
cleanly. I then fixed a couple of issues regarding handling of the map
file (adding some additional script and some minor .c modifications),
and some other things. I then upgraded again to 3.1.4 and applied  new
patch from ubuntu lucid, and removed all my map handling stuff as it was
no longer needed due to the new location for storing the map file. so
now its basically the same as the lucid/maverick package, cept its up to
date, and with a working map file that makes it from initramfs stage to
root stage, as well as a fix for the MAKEDEV install error. only missing
one patch they have put in very recently for copying mdadm.conf, which
was "untested" which I thought I might want to test before i add it.

I was running my package on lucid, and now im running it on maverick.
everything is working fine.
