Kernel 2.6.39.1-1 and aufs2

Hello,
I rely on aufs2 at the moment, and just now realized that aufs2 is not in the repositories anymore.
Is it coming back (soon)? If not, is there a reason why it was dropped?

(Disclaimer: searched the bbs, and google'd.)

Thanks
Julian

Re: Kernel 2.6.39.1-1 and aufs2

Thats odd. I compile my own kernels. And they are 2.6.39.1 with aufs2.
I did 'yaourt -G aufs'. And inside the directory aufs2 there is a 'create-tarball.sh'.
I've used it and from the downloaded source I get 3 patches that let me build aufs2 inside the kernel. (I have all my modules builtin).

I use aufs2 daily along with squashfs to Speed up the system.
It worked ok with 2.6.39 and I never had any problem.

I was looking at the standalone patch for aufs and i needed to be updated.

diff --git a/aufs2-standalone.patch b/aufs2-standalone.patch
index 57dd820..251bc30 100644
--- a/aufs2-standalone.patch

  }
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(security_inode_permission);
 

This help fixed the problem. It was fixed in debian-live aufs2 patches so this may make it work again for arch. Also without this fix aufs does fail causing this export symbol to never be added.
