[aur-general] Package merge request: kernel26/linux-ice and kernel26/linux-rt-ice
Hi, please remove kernel26-ice [1] and merge comments/votes with linux-ice [2]. Also, I would prefer that kernel26-rt-ice [3] be removed and comments/votes merged with linux-rt-ice [4]. The slight problem with that is that nvidia proprietary driver users will not be able to use linux-rt-ice, since the latest editions of the -rt patchset export several symbols as GPL which disallow compilation of the nvidia driver. Re-exporting (or modifying the nvidia license) with a patch is simple but not permitted under the terms of the GPL (as I understand it). In any case, this will not be resolved by the passage of time, so users will just have to use nouveau or patch themselves.
