 Ted, use 
   ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/v2.15/util-linux-ng-2.15-rc1.tar.bz2
 
 I look forward to see the patches in e2fsprogs ;-)

 I have question, do you think that you can freeze the libblkid
 version number in e2fsprogs? (now it's <maj>.<min>.<rel> = 1.41.4) 
 
 I think it makes sense to increment the major and minor version
 numbers in util-linux-ng only. The version in e2fsprogs should be in
 feature-freeze state.

 The current libblkid version number in util-linux-ng-2.15-rc1 is 
 1.99.0 -- but I'd like to use something more sane for the final
 release.

 Thanks.

    Karel
