This mail is to clarify the plan wrt linux-2.6 and 4.0r3, based on IRC conversations with zobel and fjp.
There is currently an ABI-changing security update being prepared (on autobuilders now). I would expect this kernel DSA to release by Friday, if all goes well. As this is an ABI change, the DSA will also include a number of other packages that are affected by the ABI change (such as linux-latest-2.6 and loop-aes). This will be 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17etch1 and have ABI 6. Simultaneously, I'd like to get a new kernel uploaded to p-u that contains a fix for #461493, inclusive of the security fixes. This would be version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18 also with ABI 6. I'll basically be AFK Sat->Mon, so I'd like to upload this for autobuilding early Friday (US). If anyone on the kernel team has additional pending stable patches that they don't want to wait for 4.0r4, please let me know. Once these packages are available in p-u, I'll notify Frans who can then start the d-i work for 4.0r3. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
