Sorry for my delayed response.

I can understand your point. But we want to avoid inconsistency
between kernel, library and applications. Because we received the
same question many times, "which combination should I use ?" then
we decided to change the style of packaging and make USAGI libinet6
library. Of course we integrate our improvements in USAGI libinet6
into glibc at each STABLE release.

If you want only patches against original kernel, you can use anoncvs
as follows.

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/usagi/kernel login
	password = anoncvs
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/usagi/kernel rdiff -r v2_4_2 linux24

You can get the latest patch against original kernel-2.4.2.

Thanks.
