I suggest to do it the other way around:
.if ${LINUX_OSRELEASE} == "2.4.2"
IGNORE
.endif
This way the current default is to ignore and anyone who plays around
can do so. It also allows us to use any 2.6.x number we want (in case
we think another one is more appropriate) without the need to change
the port. WE just want to protect the innocent, everyone else is
allowed to shot into their own foot.
Bye,
Alexander.
