I recently became maintainer of the condition patch. You can find a new version at "http://www.nucleus.it/pom-repo/condition.tar.gz";. From now on it will be handled as an external repository. I'm working on some other changes that should make it more acceptable, althought I've been busy in the last couple of weeks. Some considerations: - adding a new system call or ioctl is more intrusive than a proc interface; - a file interface doesn't require a special app. You could argue about putting it in /sys or in the brand new configfs. I'd like feedback about the best way to handle this. -- Saluti, Massimiliano Hofer Nucleus
