Ocfs2 devel - Dec 2014 - ocfs2-tools repository and documentation

Hi Goldwyn,

Thanks for your answer. I will have a look at your code.
I just want to be sure that the source code I am looking at
is the latest one to avoid fixing things that maybe have been already
fixed elsewhere.

Same is true for documentation and package repositories.
If I could have links to the latest, no matter how old and not
maintained, documentation and repository, it would be helpful,
as well.

Do you know of any other distro, besides Suse, maintaining a stack
of patches?

Cheers,
Germano

To clarify, these patches are present in opensuse (opensuse.org) 
distributions as well.
