linux-2.6.36, builtin zram: sys/block/zram0/blocksize kaputt

'uname -rms' -> Linux 2.6.36-spott i686
Hi,
I've been running compcache.googlecode.com/hg since 2.6.34.x. The
latest interface needed only
echo "$disksize" > /sys/block/zram0/disksize &&
mkswap -L zram0 /dev/zram0 && swapon -p 55 /dev/zram0
and I got compressed swap for what little my machine usually had to do
with swapping, keeping thos eblocks off the disk.
Now this interface seems gone from what I read in zram.txt, and the
older zramconfig was resurrected.
Is this going to be permanent or was an older compcache version merged?
If it is permanent, where do I get the userspace from, I mean, what hg
version do I need to check out for them? I noticed zramconfig somewhere
in the repo, but they must be in older revisions, because the current
code doesn't have it.
gruss, clemens fischer

>I guess you are trying to use the mainline version of zram -- zramconfig is
now gone as we want to switch to /sys interface instead. Currently, mainline
version is in a bit inconsistent state and some important fixes have not yet
reached mainline due to time constraints. I hope to fix that in near future.
In the mean time, please use zram code from project hg repository.
Thanks,
