Hi, there are a few issues still open that we need to fix in sarge's kernel images. Also, we need to solve a few procedural issues:
* How do we track which issues needs to be resolved? * How do we track which packages need a rebuild after any change? * Which updates are acceptable to push through to sarge r1 (and how do we update the non-ABI-changes in sarge)? * Where are ABI-changes uploaded so that they don't break the installer? * Which packages need to be rebuilt for any kernel change (and are therefor frozen)? After the issues, we should decide which of our current bugs are fixed for sarge. To discuss these issues, an IRC meeting will be held at Tuesday, 2005-04-12 6:30 UTC at #debian-kernel on irc.oftc.net Please make sure that any kernel bug that you want to discuss about is filed at bugs.debian.org, and please keep the bug number around. I expect that Bugs that are less severe than important are usually not fixable any more for sarge. Recent discussions on this subject were: (about ABI-changing kernels and breaking d-i) http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/03/msg00315.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/03/msg00325.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/03/msg00326.html (short summary: if we change the ABI, we need to change rootskel and base-installer, and change CD build, which makes this a non-option pre-release) (about bugs needing fixes, or fixed and not in sarge): http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2005/04/msg00032.html http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/trunk/kernel-2.4/source/kernel-source-2.4.27-2.4.27/debian/changelog?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/trunk/kernel/source/kernel-source-2.6.8-2.6.8/debian/changelog?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 http://oss.sgi.com/projects/netdev/archive/2005-04/msg00241.html If you cannot attend this meeting, please consider to forward any issues and reasons to any of Simon Horman (horms), Andres Salomon (dilinger) or me.
