      After a long delay with no activity, work has begun to update the dxr2 driver for the more recent edditions of the linux kernel. When completed, we will let you know. 
</snip>

Treecleaners, remove this, it won't compile with any uptodate kernel, has no maintainer and hasn't seen an update for 4 years.

[Comment 2 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) 2006-12-17 15:34:07 UTC]

After the discussion on new treecleaner policy, putting this to vote.

Yes - out of kernel drivers are a pest, they should be in kernel. This thing hasn't seen an update in 4 years as Jakub said, even after they announced they would update it two years ago. Doesn't look like any one uses it - Patrick found this bug when the thing obviously won't compile with any recent kernel. Maintaining this will definately be non-trivial.

Jakub, I assume you're going for yes as well?

Well yeah, +1 - she's dead, Jim... :=) Absolutely nothing going on upstream.

[Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2006-12-17 16:19:35 UTC]

This project is abandoned.

+1

[Comment 5 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) 2006-12-24 13:06:16 UTC]
