Yes, this would be nice. To create the Debian package I had to change the
source tarball. Now it differs from the original tarball available at
oss.sgi.com what is not nice to the users.
Another thing I would like to see is the dnotify patch being included
in the sources. Imon is rarely used in a Linux environment and everyone
works with dnotify as the kernel provides it.
Can one expect a new release (say 2.6.7) made with 'make dist' and
perhaps those patches included (Alex has two more bugfixing patches
in the RPM sources)? I am in a little hurry getting the FAM packages
into woody before its feature freeze which is very near now ;-)
Thanks, Joerg
