LiS and Linux 2.6 (SuSE 9.1 and SuSE 9.2)

Hi All...

John Boyd,

I was reading on the list archive that you did some work with porting
LiS to kernel versions in the 2.6 range.

1) Is the work that you did captured in the last release, LiS 2.18.0?

2) Is it only in LiS 2.17.K?

3) Did you ever do anything with posting your changes to Sourceforge?
(there was one thread where you mentioned that you were going to post
your changes and more to a project on Sourceforge.)

I am being charged with getting LiS working on linux 2.6,
specifically SuSE 9.1 and SuSE 9.2 for our company's products and
would like to avoid repeating other people's work if at all possible.
 Of course we'd be willing to post our changes once we are done so
that everyone doesn't have to suffer through the same thing now that
it seems that all "official" developement has ceased.

Speaking of official developement, what exactly is going on with LiS
nowdays?  Dave, did you turn over "source manager" duties to someone?
What exactly happens at this point?  Can anyone decree themselves the
holder of the "offical" tree?

I have a few changes that I did to LiS 2.18.0 to improve the
performance a bit on SMP systems, but frankly I don't know what to do
with them.  I don't really want to just post them as a set of patches
to the mailing list... That seems kind of klunky.  Should we start a
sourceforge site for LiS so that everyone has a place to centralize
the discussion and changes now that Dave has bowed out?

thanks-
dan
