13th April 2010 - 0.9.5

  Add support for RHEL 5.4, RHEL 5.5.

  Add support for Fedora kernels up to 2.6.33. Note that for kernel 2.6.30
  onwards, the firmware has been removed from the kernel module and is now
  found in the kernel-firmware package, which must be installed for the
  module to work.

3rd June 2009 - 0.9.4

  Add support for RHEL 4.6, RHEL 4.7, RHEL 4.8, RHEL 5.2, RHEL 5.3.

  Add support for Fedora kernels up to 2.6.29.

  Add src-prep directory with helper script for prepping new kernels.

4th February 2008 - 0.9.3

  Add support for RHEL 5.1 (build fails with 0.9.2).

18th July 2007 - 0.9.2

  Project is back from the dead, with experimental support for RHEL 4/5.

17th March 2005 - 0.9.1

  Explicity run dkms from /usr/sbin so that goobers that do "su" instead
  of "su -" and don't get /usr/sbin on their PATH don't come whingeing
  that it doesn't work.

4th February 2005 - 0.9.0

  Advansys module is back in Fedora errata kernels - start wrapping
  up the project - add BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL parameter to dkms.conf
  so that module is not built when not needed.

  Tidy up pre-build script:
  * no need to support 2.7.x kernels
  * apply patches quietly

12th January 2005 - 0.5.3

  Update to support 2.6.10-1.737 kernel for Fedora Core 3.

4th January 2005 - 0.5.2

  Update to support 2.6.9-1.724 kernel for Fedora Core 3.

  Add gcc dependency to spec file to ensure suitable build system
  is present.

4th November 2004 - 0.5.1

  Add facility to pre_build.sh to copy required source code to
  current directory - useful for building new versions.

  Update to support 2.6.9 kernel for Fedora Core 3.

27th September 2004 - 0.5.0

  Add code to build scsi_mod.o as well as advansys.o

  This allows us to get the right dependency information embedded
  into advansys.ko when doing cross-architecture builds. It's a
  kludge, but it works.

24th September 2004 - 0.4.3

  Add another patch to bring the kernel source up to 2.6.8.

27th August 2004 - 0.4.2

  Use dkms default make command instead of specifying our own.
  Probably better for compatbility with future kernels.

26th August 2004 - 0.4.1

  We don't automatically update modprobe.conf nor rebuild the
  initrd because not everyone needs it (e.g. people with only
  scanners connected to their Advansys cards) and for those people
  adding a scsi_hostadapter line to their modprobe.conf can cause
  failures to build initrds on subsequent kernel installs, which
  is bad. People that need the scsi_hostadapter line almost
  certainly already have it, so the post_install script looks for
  that and rebuilds the initrd then if necessary.

23rd August 2004 - 0.4

  Reinstate autoinstall; module may be used for something like a
  scanner, which does not require installation before booting.

  Add postinstall script to install bootloader entry if possible.

  Kernel source now stored as FC2 install kernel plus a set of
  incremental patches. This will keep the size of kernel-advansys
  down as the driver evolves.

16th August 2004 - 0.3

  Package updated to support dkms driver disk creation.

4th August 2004 - 0.2

  This package contains the advansys SCSI module.

  I have finally been forced into building this DKMS package now that
  the Fedora errata kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 does not include the
  advansys module (which has been unsupported since FC1).
