Roland, at some point I lost track of what your intentions were. In the following mail: http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2012-July/000473.html You seemed to agree to take care of the debian directory in xenomai sources, asking me to simply warn you before a release. Which I did before the 2.6.2 release in the following mail: http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2012-December/027051.html With a list of things which could be changed in the debian/rules file, inviting you to do what I had understood you had agreed to do. In this answer: http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2012-December/027052.html You simply told me that you did not even try debian/rules, following this, Leopold sent a post with a patch to fix the issue before the release, but your reply could be interpreted as the fact that the patch was actually broken, you did not send a fixed patch for the update, and as a result 2.6.2 was released with a broken debian directory. Which is why, for the 2.6.2.1 release, I did not warn you (since it had proved useless anyway) and took the liberty to do the changes to debian/rules myself, as, according to what I had said many times on this list, I started to set-up a debian repository (following your advices on the way to do it, use reprepro), and so needed a working debian/rules. The aim of this was to avoid the kind of questions "Tom Z" is asking. Now, since I did the Debian packages following your advice, and basically did the work that you did not want to do, I do not really understand why you keep ignoring the fact that we have not one but two sources of up to date pre-buid debian kernel packages for Debian squeeze, and continue to give answers to "Tom Z" misguiding him in compiling the Xenomai package from the tarball, not even from the debian directory.
