The HG repos are dead. They are no longer used. The latest development is now all on GIT. The alsa-driver tarballs in the URL above are generated from my sound.git tree. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git This is the tree picked up by linux-next, and contains usually all development and fix patches for the latest kernel. The patches are managed by topic branches. You can see different GIT branches, such as, topic/asoc or topic/hda, for each different category. The alsa-driver tarball is created not only from both sound.git but also alsa-driver-build.git tree. The alsa-driver-build git tree contains the build stubs for the latest sound.git tree. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/alsa-driver-build.git How to combine these trees are found in alsa-driver*/INSTALL. Basically just run utils/setup-alsa-kernel script appropriately. There is alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot, too, which is generated from sound-unstable and alsa-driver-build-unstable git trees. This contains experimental patches on the top of sound git tree. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-unstable-2.6.git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/alsa-driver-build-unstable.git The other tarballs, alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-plugins, alsa-oss, alsa-tools, and alsa-firmware, are generated from GIT trees on git.alsa-project.org.
