New RTSP conntrack patch for 2.6.36

Long time no patch. Exactly 10 versions ago I released the last patch for rtsp. With 2.6.36 coming up some small build time fixes are needed again. As usual you can get it here.

I removed the POM repository since I doubt anyone used it at all.

Hi!

Thank you for that patch I use since a long time!

Ever thought about pushing it (gently) to mainstream kernel?

It could benefit long time support from the community...

Good morning Fab,

Yes apparently I tried to do this twice but dod not succeed. I think the main problem is that I do not know enough about RTSP code to put this in proper shape (see the known bugs).

Too bad... I suppose nobody implied in kernel dev was interested enough to help with this?

Well the main issue is that since this is not a "mainstream" protocol knowledge is sparse and they seem to have enough work with the existing modules already so I understand why they are reluctant to add yet another module.

What if you were (?) willing to maintain this module by yourself (which is what you usually do) but inside the kernel?

Maybe they wouldn't trust you enough to stay on a long term basis...
