Well, my personal opinion (and I have stated it several times in the
past few months) is that whenever the kernel version is updated, the
PCMCIA packages should be updated to the LATEST version also. After
all, it is only fair. I don't want to deal with bug reports swarming
in that "PCMCIA support is broken with the latest kernel (version
xx.xx.xx)", when the pcmcia sources are obsolete.
Randolph: I don't mind if you build NMU's ... in fact, I'm grateful. I
don't think that I can get around to building the packages myself until
Monday.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems. Keep in mind that
Herbert has changed the name of the package (to include the "pre"
version number). I'm not quite sure whether it will cause problems, but
it might require me to modify my hacks.
Thanks,
