Hullow,

Carn't find upstrean cloop sources !


I'm trying to find the cloop source tar.gz|bz2 package. Suitable for kernel 2.6.19, but with out any luck.

google pointed me at

http//www.knoppix.net/knoppix/sources

But i got a (404) address not found response. The only other links were to infos and the latest deb package. Which is for kernel 2.6.18

kernel 2.6.19 is very recent, i know. and It differes from 2.6.18 in respect of the 'i_blksize' type. Which has been removed. Just going by a grep through the kern patch for 2.6.19

A build i tried using version cloop-2.04-1+eb.1 faild due to the type being missing in the 2.6.19 headers.

Code:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-ck2'
  CC [M]  /usr/src/modules/cloop-2.04-1+eb.1/compressed_loop.o

The source available via deb ....

cloop_2.05~20060829-1

has a requirement for kernel 2.6.18 headers, which still retain the 'i_blksize' type. So i figure it will probably fail to build for kernel 2.6.19.

Searching around it struck me ...

Where is the actual upstream source kept !!!

Iv'e tried sourceforge.net, searching for cloop and Klaus Knopper but with out even the slightest of hints.

The source i have don't have any pointers to where the upstream source can be found, neither do the deb docs.

Any clues on this will be much apprieciated.

Found the source location:

http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org/sources

The 2.6.19 is quite new. I'll experiment with the cloop source and see if i can work that around. If time permits.



Append: wen 14th March 2007

cloop_2.05-1.tar.gz <-- kernel 2.6.19
cloop_2.06-1.tar.gz <-- kernel 2.6.20/21

Both will be found at the above link.
