Re: kernel-patch-openvz
Hi again
I assume that you are very busy, but did my reasoning makes sense
or do I have to do in some other way in order to get the package
to testing?
I also want to know if you will accept 2.6.18-8 of the linux kernel
as you have to accept a not yet existing version to testing then.
I do not want to upload the new version to unstable until you have
decided if you will accept this fix or not.
Regards,
// Ola
