I have 1.4.6.1 ported to 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 and the same for 1.4.6.94.

I'm currently stuck at porting it to kernel 2.6.18 since there was a
large change in ext3 in 2.6.17. I'm also trying out several revision
control systems (arch, git, quilt) to see which one I like best and
which one makes porting to new kernel and lustre versions the easiest.

That has left me no time to do the actual debianization yet so if you
have any of that done that would be more than welcome.

There is already a project on Alioth

 http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-lustre/

setup by Andreas Salomon (dilinger) which is probably a good place to
merge our efforts. We should ask him to add us there.

Thoughts?
