Subject: Kernel/device-list checksum problem
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline

Package: kernel/device-list
Version: RELEASE_lnx-bbc_2_0

The device list (gar/kernel/device-list/download/devices.txt) comes from =
www.lanana.org/docs/device-list. They don't (apparently) have versions.

The file changed recently, and someone filed an updated checksum.=20

Unfortunately, when you use CVS to check out the RELEASE_lnx-bbc_2_0 tag, =
you get the _old_ checksum, so you have an old checksum and a new file.

The ideal solution would be a versioned copy of devices.txt (or maybe a =
CVS timestamp). Another possibility would be to keep it in the GAR CVS =
tree (it's not very large).

Short term, I would guess somebody will have to manually override CVS, so =
that when somebody checks out "RELEASE_lnx-bb_2_0", they'll get the new =
checksum along with the new devices.txt file.  Sort of defeats the whole =
purpose of CVS, but at least it'll compile...

Thanks,

Charles Lacour

device-list gets the devices.txt file from the kernel source now, and
not from lanananananana.org
