What is going on with the kernel releases. First a
package named "kernel-2.2.13-12mdk" appears on the
mirrors that solved the raid problem I had (with a
changelog that said the raid path was added), so far
cool. But the next day a package named
"kernel-2.2.13-11mdk" appears which guess what? have
the same changelog but no raid support :-( ...
... Anyway, there is something wrong with the cooker
building environment since I have noticed several
anomalies:

1. packages appear with a new date stamp, new
changelogs (and by this I suppose the package is
different) but with the same patchlevel as the
previous package. I have examined some of these cases,
and indeed there was achange in the package, but no
change in version designation.

2. packages appear with a certain patchlevel
designation, and then a newer package follows with a
lower patchlevel ???? (ex. - the kernel case I just
mentioned)

Is this caused by human error? Because if not, the
there are bugs in the building environment. These may
seem like small glitches, but this causes havoc on
automatically upgraded systems (Yes, I do
automatically upgrade my system to the cooker mirror,
is this crazy or brave?); and at the least it renders
the use package version designation useless.

I know I may look like a whiner with my long posts,
but I just want to put my grain of salt to build
better distros for everyone.

Thanks,
