A very simple (distro-Agnostic) patch installer is in the works now. Something akin to go-gnome.com's method. Speaking of which, can I get everyone's input on known crypto restrictions and recommendations so this installer can help people comply with the laws in their locality. Clemens, my suspicion that DEBs are better then RPMs is re-confirmed, good work! Once the kerneli.org/go script-rules are ready (with your gracious input) could you wrap it into a DEB? The goals we're all striving for: - make the cryptoapi installer part of standard distros (sans crypto) - assist where possible the users' compliance with law - proliferate the use of strong crypto Cheers, JLC On Thu, Jul 04, 2002 at 12:47:29AM +0200, Fruhwirth Clemens wrote: > Hi everybody! > > I've created kernel-patch packages for Debian.
