Re: [pthreads-announce] NGPT 2.0.0 RELEASED

1. I've always been confused by which patches are required for which
   kernel version. For instance, the announcement says, " This patch is
   **ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED**" but two patches are being discussed in that
   paragraph. Which patch is absolutely required?

   Could someone post a simple list of what needs to be done for each
   kernel version? For Is this correct?

   2.4.18:      1. Install ngpt-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
                2. Install patch-kngpt-2.4.18

 >=2.4.19pre10: 1. Install ngpt-2.0.0.i386.rpm
                2. Install patch-futex-2.4.19 

 < 2.5.8        1. Install ngpt-2.0.0.i386.rpm

 >=2.5.8        1. Install ngpt-2.0.0-1.src.rpm
                2. `rpm --rebuild' this rpm
                3. Install resulting rpm

2. The URL given is missing the ".com" extension.

3. What is ngpt-devel-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm? Obviously it's for developers,
   but it's not mentioned anywhere in the release notes.

Thanks (for putting me straight).
