[Dazuko-help] FAQ: Possible Flaw in 2.1 [Suggestion included]

[Mader, Alexander (N-MSR)]

Hello,

please, excuse me as this relates rather to the web FAQ than to the
software itself.

The dazuko-source version info in the FAQ is correct for debian sarge,
the current stable release.

For the upcoming stable release, etch, the latest version 2.2.0-1_all is
uploaded since April[1] and does not contain any release critical bugs
so far[2].

Would it be possible to consider a change of 2.1 to something like the
included text?

Best regards, Alexander Mader.

2.1 What are the known issues with Debian GNU/Linux?


The "dazuko-source" package that is available through apt-get for the current stable release, sarge, is very old (1.2.2). It is recommended that you download the latest stable version from the Dazuko Downloads site. 

For Debian unstable and testing, the latest stable version of the "dazuko-source" package is available via apt-get.

John Ogness is the current maintainer for the Debian "dazuko-source" package.

For the current stable release, you can download the latest stable version as a Debian package here:

dazuko-source_2.2.0-1_all.deb

The Debian package requires "module-assistant". This will automatically compile and install Dazuko. Here is the procedure:

# apt-get install module-assistant
# dpkg -i dazuko-source_2.2.0-1_all.deb
# m-a a-i dazuko


This will compile and install the Dazuko kernel module. You can load the module with:

# modprobe dazuko
