Rawhide support has quite low demand and the kernel changes daily or more frequently in early rawhide, so any kernel bound support is outdated before it is released. We usually fire up the rawhide support about a month or so before the targeted release date (which means about now). I don't think that F11 was w/o dahdi-linux kmdls for any long period. > There are issues trying to rebuild atrpms src rpms on fedora.

You may see `recursion' warnings due to rpm's limitation of macros depth (which has nothing to do with recursion), which is at 16, but in reality means about 3-4 nested macros. > What I had to do for F12 is grab a spec file (that get's updates at > the source) that was proposed for rpmfusion (but never got adopted > by them) and then use an svn version of dahdi that has a fix for a > change in the way the kernel is being built (some compatibility > feature that got dropped in 2.6.32).

Maybe you should check out ATrpms in a couple of days and see whether there is dahdi support for F12 there. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
