Sorry for the cross-post. This is the only mail advertising these packages I'll send to these lists.
There's a low traffic (approx. 1 Mail/week) announcement mailing list that informs you about new releases of these packages (including security fixes in the packages). To subscribe send a mail with "subscribe debian-packages" in the body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I've prepared some packages for people who want to run kernel 2.6 on Debian 3.0. After the Alpha and Beta stages these packages will come into a stable stage with only fixes for grave problems and security issues applied. As known from my other potato and woody packages, I'll support these packages as long as Debian supports Debian 3.0. Please report any problems with these packages installed and running kernel 2.6. Introduction I have prepared some packages that help to use kernel 2.6 in Debian 3.0r2. Please read the FAQ before sending any questions or comments to me. I try my best to avoid problems with both installing these packages on Debian 3.0r2 and upgrading with these packages installed to Debian 3.1. Warnings * These are packages taken from unstable recompiled on woody. You can't expect that they are as stable as the packages in woody and although I try to provide high quality packages there's absolutely no warranty. * Although these packages should help to use kernel 2.6 on Debian 3.0, complete support for all kernel 2.6 features is not possible. * Kernel 2.2 is no longer supported with these packages. * This package collection is currently in Alpha stage. There might be many bugs in the packages and there might be significant changes until the first release. Note * These packages are a subset of the bunk-2 packages. FAQ What are Alpha/Beta/Release? * During the Alpha phase many changes are possible. * After Beta 1 only smaller changes happen. * After Release 1 only security fixes and fixes for selected grave bugs will occur. My system is a woody with your backports plus the X, Y and Z backports. This causes the following problem. I don't support combinations with any other sources of backported packages. There are hundreds of sources for backported packages of various quality and it would be impossible to get all combinations working. Is mixing these pacakges with the bunk-1 packages supported? Yes. Which architectures are supported? Only i386 is supported. How can I contact you? * For bugs in the packages send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * For suggestions (e.g. new packages) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that I'll check this address only when looking for suggestions for new packages and that I do not always answer to mails sent to this address. * For other mails regarding these packages send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could you add xyz to these packages? Send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (read the commont in the answer to the question above). Changelog + Initial release.
