Obviously a first step in the right direction would be to attempt to use the source from Ubuntu packages instead of directly from CVS. "apt-get source" and "apt-get build-dep" should be very helpful in determining whether the patches apply cleanly to Ubuntu's current system. Of course, if the patches introduce new problems to users without any fingerprint readers, that would have to be addressed as well.
Here in a couple weeks edgy will be released, and perhaps a few MOTU will be interested in pitching in for edgy+1. I suspect though that not many current Ubuntu devs have the hardware. -- Edgy should include 'bioapi' to support fingerprint readers https://launchpad.net/bugs/54816 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
