I agree with releasing 2.8.1 soon. But why wait for 2.8.1 to submit a patch? I don't see anything in our changelog that looks critical. And I'd rather submit a patch based on a release that's seen several weeks' testing by users. So why not submit 2.8.0? p.s. If you want me to look at Makefile problems please point me to the two reports. thanks. Jean Delvare wrote: > No, it ain't a joke. > > First, the change list for lm_sensors is already quite long.
