Linux Kernel 2.6.23 & Firewire (Juju v. IEEE 1394)

[James Bromberger <james@rcpt.to>]

Hello All,

I am using unstable x86, with 2.6.22, and found that the IEEE 1394 has 
been dropped in favour of the new Juju stack. however Juju is broken in 
2.6.22 and 2.6.23 (see http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration where it 
says "/Linux 2.6.22 and 2.6.23, the best advice to Linux distributors 
(kernel packagers) as well as to regular users is:/ Build only the old 
IEEE 1394 drivers.").

The kernel team have been fantastic over the last year+ or so with very 
quick releases of kernel.org kernels to unstable, often within days of 
upstream release; is there a reason there is no 2.6.23 yet?  I see 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447682 where Martin 
tagged 'pending'; can someone tell me if there is something holding this 
back?

When there is a 2.6.23, will IEEE 1394 be re-enabled, or new patches 
from Juju to fix 2.6.23?

Thanks,

 James
