Revision Changes Path 1.38 +2 -2 CVSROOT/avail --------------End of forwarded message------------------------- It looks like the Amancio vs. soren thing was never resolved, and he just decided to throw in the towel. What does this mean re: the future of the bt848 driver? Will it still be maintained in a reasonable fashion, or will it become yet another piece of rotting software, like the floppy-tape system (ft) for example? Why did it have to come down to this, anyway?
