Recent Ubuntu releases?
Hi, all.
Was just wondering, has anyone built NILFS2 packages against recent Ubuntu releases, e.g. Intrepid Ibis and Jaunty Jackalope? The packages available via the site are only available for Hardy. The packages in Jaunty are older versions (2.0.6).
However, I can report that the latest module and utility source trees build just fine under Jaunty which uses the 2.6.28 kernel (using x86 32-bit in a VM here). You just need to make sure that the linux-headers-(x) package appropriate to the kernel you're running and the uuid-dev package is also installed so that the kernel module and userland utilities respectively will build.

Yes, the Ubuntu packages on the site are not catching up on the recent Ubuntu releases. We still lack manpower for packaging and I feel it's hard to expand support against the new releases.
I hope we can get help from someone in the Ubuntu community.
