Isn't that completely dead or something? (*) Seriously though, I am hoping that this will not be necessary (who am I kidding?). However, I would appreciate input from anyone who: - Wants to/is interested in doing this themselves. (I'd be more than happy to offload it, even to the extent of sending you CD copies of all the relevant distributions and stuff to save your download time). You'll need to be familiar with Linux and willing to look after this for a while (as the previous maintainer appears to have evaporated). - Has an opinion or experience related to the selection of libraries, components, support binaries, etc. that are relevant to both the linux_lib and linux_devel packages.
