apologies for assasinating this thread ...

I did an 'extensive' search with google (you do not want
to know how many hits you get with 'sparse') and read
most postings on the sparse mailinglist (linux-sparse),
found the freshmeat project pointing me to the 'new url'
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/sparse/ where I can
download 'sparse-2003-11-27.tar.gz', then found out that
there should be a maintained (up to date) version of it at

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/

but what I find there, seems of no use to me ...
(I'm no bitkeeper person) so I'm still looking for an url
where I can get a recent .tar to install that beast.

can anybody point me in the right direction, please?

TIA,
Herbert
