However, the Ubuntu bug against cryopid claims segmentation faults on i386 WITHOUT your changes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryopid/+bug/227252 The follow-ups appear to indicate that a rebuilt tickless kernel may be necessary. It may be best to retitle #428739 as a request for removal and reassign it to ftp.debian.org so that cryopid can be removed from unstable as a follow-up to the removal from testing. Upstream appears dead, the download link was last updated: Wed, 23 Nov 2005. The homepage promotes cryopid as a solution that does not require kernel modifications, so it would appear that the package simply has not kept up with kernel changes and has lost a large part of it's functionality. http://cryopid.berlios.de/ https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/cryopid-devel/2008-July/000215.html "> Is anyone maintaining this program? Nope. I have dreams of picking up again soon, but haven't yet found the time. A home with a new maintainer would be welcome. Cheers, Bernard." Maybe Debian (and Ubuntu) would be better off without cryopid. This isn't an issue for Lenny, anyway. The listing on mentors could also be removed/clarified/modified to indicate that the version on mentors is not actually ready. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
