is the mainline PPA abandoned?

[akos.maroy]

Hi,

I'm looking at the mainline kernel PPA, and it seems to be somewhat abandoned. for example, the repository sources don't even contain a karmic section, let alone lucid: http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu/

my main concern is, I'd like to rebuild the most recent kernel package with a custom patch on lucid, but without a source repository, I can't do apt-get source, and thus I can't get the .dsc file for the pacakge..

how / where could I do that?

Just wait a few hours, and it will propably be working again....

The servers can be down sometimes.

It happens.

well, the server isn't down - it's just that there's no repository for karmic or lucid, thus one gets a 404 Not found for the Packages.gz file when updating the sources, after adding the mainline PPA source

why don't you apt-get it?


sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17 kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot
