Update again, it's now been about 1 month since my first mail.
alpha
Kernel updated, but not yet in testing; udebs not yet
updated (I thought they were before, but was wrong).
amd64
Updated, but I'm not tracking this arch.
arm
No abiname; not updated.
[At the moment this is one of the arches that I'd consider
releasing d-i rc3 without it being updated for the kernel
security fixes, since it has no abiname, and since the daily
builds have been down since October.]
hppa
2.4 now updated, but we dropped it.
2.6 has abiname; still not updated, update is in kernel team svn.
[This is likely to block d-i rc3 until the new hppa 2.6 kernels
with the new abiname are available.]
i386
2.4 and 2.6 updated to -2 abiname; debs in testing; udebs updated.
ia64
2.4 and 2.6 updated to -2 abiname; debs in testing; udebs updated.
m68k
No abiname; debs updated and in testing (for 2.4; dunno about
2.2); udebs updated.
mips
No abiname. Kernel updated and in testing; udebs updated.
mipsel
No abiname. Kernel updated and in testing; udebs updated.
powerpc
No abiname. 2.4 not updated. 2.6 updated, debs in testing;
udebs updated.
[If powerpc 2.4 is not updated with the security fixes soon, I
will probably not let it block a d-i rc3 release.]
s390
Just fixed; debs not yet in testing; udebs updated.
sparc
2.6 updated to -2 abiname; 2.4 not updated (except in svn);
2.6 debs not yet in testing (due to RC #288180); udebs updated.
[This is likely to block d-i rc3 until the new sparc 2.4 kernels
with the new abiname are available.]
So hppa and sparc are the only remaining blockers from the debian-kernel
side for the d-i release, though powerpc 2.4 and arm also still really
need updates.
And on the d-i side we still need to update the alpha udebs, update
rootskel and base-installer and the build system to use the new abinames
where appropriate, update debian-cd, and make sure it all works.
