hello,

is there any chance that packet-cd patch will be ported to current stable 2.4.x kernels or has the development ended quietly? maybe I could even help implementing changes, given that somebody explains what needs to be done.

Development has ended completely, it just ended temporarily. I've said this before, when I get the time development will pick up again.

Currently no time frame, sorry...

So, I gave porting to 2.4.2 a shot (now that I have a drive that doesn't puke all over the place when trying to write a packet to it). At this point I've worked out most of the blk level issues and tested back merges, which seem to work, at least when both blocks are in the same packet. I'll prolly do some more basic testing and then either send the patch to this list or post it somewhere, or something.
