Currently I supply the latest ACPI on

2.4.22
2.4.24
2.4.25
2.5.26

The reasoning is that 2.4 is the installed base and we want to make it easy to patch the installed base with the latest ACPI -- so we bend over backwards somewhat.

2.6.4
2.6.5

The reasoning is that there is no 2.6 installed base, so we want to encourage using the latest release. So support just the most recent frozen release plus the release that is currently under development. eg. when 2.6.6 opens, 2.6.4 will be deleted.

When the releases are similar, this is pretty easy to do; but when they diverge, real work is required, including merging, testing etc.

So I'd like to delete 2.4.22 and 2.4.24 support. When 2.4.26 closes, I'll delete 2.4.25 too.

Let me know if this is a problem for you.

thanks,
-Len

Okay, now we're down to
2.4.25
2.4.26

2.6.5
2.6.6

Which corresponds to the latest released, plus the bleeding edge. If you run something older, you'll need to back-port yourself.

thanks,
