Bug#292479: ITP: kernel-patch-swsusp2 -- software suspend 2 for linux kernel patch
|

| martin f krafft 2005-01-27, 7:54 am |
| Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
@Bernard, I intend to package swsusp2 for Debian, just letting you
know...
* Package name : kernel-patch-swsusp2
Version : 2.1.5.15
Upstream Author : Bernard Blackham <b-swweb@blackham.com.au>
* URL : http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de
* License : GPL
Description : software suspend 2 for linux kernel patch
Software Suspend is most easily described as the Linux equivalent of
Windows' hibernate functionality. It saves the contents of memory to
disk and powers down. When the computer is started up again, it
reloads the contents and the user can continue from where they left
off. No documents need to be reloaded or applications reopened and
the process is much faster than a normal shutdown and start up.
Packages should be available from
http://people.debian.org/~madduck/p...l-patch-swsusp2
sometime today.

Isn't Nigel Cunningham the primary author?
Also, Bernard is in the NM queue, though he's been on hold for quite a
while...

Apparently. I have had a hard time to find this information on the
webpage... therefore I took a guess. I seems that Nigel is the
author and Bernard the webmaster. I have written to both.

Okay, well, tough luck for him. That said, he can take over the
package when he's a DD. I need it now, but I don't insist on
maintaining it.

I'm curious - what functionality do you need that isn't present in the
stock kernel?

swsusp in the stock kernel is very unstable. I have had better
experience with swsusp2. That's all.

WRT me in the NM queue, I expected I'd been purged due to my
inactivity, but it seems not! If you're not keen on maintaining it
forever, I could continue on the NM process and pick it up at some
point later.
Kind regards,
Bernard.

You can have it any time if you think you are up to the task.
