Hello, Today Bastian Blank and I finished the preparations to release the next linux-2.6 package with an orig.tar.gz complying with the GR2006-007. The following drivers will be completely removed from the next upload, because they contain legally not distributable components: dabus cops dgrs 3c359 smctr emi26 emi62 keyspan As we need to upload a new orig.tar.gz file, we need to rename the source package. Among the various possibilities, I think calling it linux-2.6.18 like we did with linux-2.6.16 seems the best choice, and there will not be any need to cope with problems which may arise if the name contains more dashes or a + sign etc. After etch is out, the next version (probably 2.6.20) will of course be called linux-2.6 again. Does this create any trouble, beside the package having to go through the NEW queue? Best regards Frederik Schueler -- ENOSIG
