The goal is to have most modules ported to 2.6 when pom-ng is released I think. The current state is not yet ready for public consumtion on 2.6 as a lot porting efforts of the various extensions still remains. > It would be nice to see a small info at the netfilter page about that. Until it is ready for public consumtion there is little point in having such page I think. And with pom-ng properly including dependency and kernel revision checks I am not realy convinced such page is required. If you ask it will apply what can be applied to your kernel and tell what could not. > Alltough i understood pom ng as a special redesign for the new kernel > now i understand that this is only a redesign of pom. Correct. pom-ng is not a redesign for the new kernel, it is primary a redesign for easier model of development and version management and at the same time throwing in the ability to support multiple versions of the same extension for different kernel versions. The primary goal right now is to get pom-ng up to at least the same level as pom is to make sure there is a stable foundation to work from allowing the developers to forget about pom. Secondary goal is to port as many extensions as possible to also support 2.6 but this is actually a separate project, only made practically possible by the introduction of pom-ng. So for the 2.6 porting activity to get up to speed the pom-ng framework must first be verified. Regards Henrik
