Is that an invitation :-?
Here's a concept yaird patch; basically Sven's patch with a bit of
extra error checking and a minimal host version.
The patch claims support for 2.6.8, which is where development
started, but later yaird versions only have had testing with
newer kernels. If we could get away with claiming a later version,
that can only reduce number of bug reports.
BTW: I'm happy to see you'll move the yaird packaging to Alioth,
that should give more continuity than a TLA archive I keep at home.
Given the move to Aliot, I think further contributions from me
could better be done as simple patches than as full packages.
The combination of debian packaging and TLA I now use is
cumbersome to say the least, so I'm eager to drop it.
On a related note, there are some smallish fixes in the
(offline) upstream archive; suggestions on how to make that
better visible to you are welcome.
Regards,
Erik
