(new) kernel-doc-2.6.11_2.6.11-1_all.deb optional doc
Linux kernel specific documentation for version 2.6.11
 This package provides the various readme's in the 2.6.11 kernel
 Documentation/ subdirectory: these typically contain kernel-specific
 installation notes for some drivers for example. See
 /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-X.X.XX/Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what
 is contained in each file.  Please read the Changes file, as it
 contains information about the problems, which may result by
 upgrading your kernel.
(new) kernel-patch-debian-2.6.11_2.6.11-1_all.deb optional devel
Debian patches to Linux 2.6.11
 This package includes the patches used to produce the prepackaged
 kernel-source-2.6.11 package.  Note that these patches do NOT apply
 against a pristine Linux 2.6.11 kernel but only against
 kernel-source-2.6.11_2.6.11.orig.tar.gz from the Debian archive.

Linux kernel source for version 2.6.11 with Debian patches
 This package provides the source code for the Linux kernel version 2.6.11.
 .
 You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing make config
 and following instructions, but you could get ncursesX.X-dev and try
 make menuconfig for a jazzier, and easier to use interface. There
 are options to use QT or GNOME based configuration interfaces, but they
 need additional packages to be installed. Also, please read the detailed
 documentation in the file
 /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.6.11/README.headers.gz.
 .
 If you wish to use this package to create a custom Linux kernel, then
 it is suggested that you investigate the package kernel-package,
 which has been designed to ease the task of creating kernel image
 packages.

(new) kernel-tree-2.6.11_2.6.11-1_all.deb optional devel
Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images
 This meta package is used as a build dependency of Debian
 kernel-image packages to prevent a version discrepancy between
 the kernel-image and corresponding kernel-sources packages in the
 fast-moving unstable archive. The package's dependency relations
 are structured so that a kernel-image package's build
 dependencies can always be satisfied, even if the kernel-source
 package that had been used to compile the image has been
 superseeded by a newer Debian revision since the last build.
 .
 The package provides a list of virtual packages, corresponding to
 Debian revisions of a kernel-source package. The Debian
 kernel-patch contains the information needed to roll back the
 current kernel-source to any of the revisions identified by the
 provided virtual packages. Therefore, the kernel-tree package
 ensures the availability of the kernel source tree corresponding
 to each of the virtual packages listed.
 .
 The package serves no purpose outside of the Debian build and
 archive infrastructure.

kernel-source-2.6.11

2005-03-21 Thread Andres Salomon
Hi,

I have uploaded kernel-source-2.6.11 2.6.11-1; it is sitting in NEW, and
is available from here:

http://www.acm.rpi.edu/~dilinger/kernel-source-2.6.11/

There are a few notable changes in this release.  First of all, patches
are now .patch, not .dpatch; dpatch hadn't actually been used in some
time, that was just legacy.  Second, prune-non-free was replaced w/ a more
generic ruby script (available in SVN, in trunk/scripts).  This was used
to generate two .orig.tar.gzs: one for kernel-source-2.6.11, and another
for kernel-source-nonfree-2.6.11.  The standard firmware drivers have been
stripped from k-s-2.6.11, and tg3 has been added to that list as well (we
used to simply remove the firmware from the tg3 driver; now we remove it
completely).  All these drivers can be found in k-s-n-2.6.11.  This does
not affect sarge.  We will have k-s-n-2.6.11 in non-free, as well as
binary module packages (kernel-nonfree-modules-2.6.11-1-386, for example).

This change was brought about due to a thread on debian-legal, in which
the consensus seems to be that compiling an ELF binary that includes
firmware is aggregation, not a derived work.  If that is the case, then
the kernel modules we were previously deleting are, in fact,
distributable.  Thus, we created kernel-source-nonfree, since etch will
(probably) require firmware to go in non-free.  We should work
something out w/ the d-i people for etch, to make life easier for people
requiring non-free drivers such as tg3.

Also, note that saa7134_dvb.c fails to compile (I noticed this after I
built and tagged).  I'll fix that in 2.6.11-2; for 2.6.11-1, disable
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134_DVB in order to get a build.

which is my main grip with the subpart of it which could be automated. For
example, kernel-source-2.6.11 was just uploaded today, which means a plethora
of uploads all needing NEW processing. Can you give me any reason why this
really needs NEW processing, and why you don't thrust the kernel-team on this ?

There was no real swift processing in the past. Also, i believe that if
packages are being considered and have some problems, it would be best to
include the maintainer having made the upload into this process as early as
possible.

Well, sending email to a discussion forum like debian-devel, and sending email
to a debian-role like ftp-master is not comparable, and i think it shows a
profund lack of responsability on your part even suggesting this. How would
you feel about a developer ignoring bug report from a certain person just
because he has posted a big amount of emails to debian-devel ? And a
falling-in-his-duties DD has at least the QA team and the MIA check to watch
over him, while the ftp-masters can have any uncontrolled whim and we have no
choice but to abide by them.

Furthermore i see a serious failing in your logic, in the fact that the emails
you quote are posterior to the failure of reply from the ftp-master's office,
and can thus not be used to excuse it.

 Anyway, regarding kernels: I can imagine sometimes, especially with the
 backlog we have currently, a swift processing of some kernel package

Why not me ? I would very much like a reason for that, am i in some way

other packages which are more or less in good state, as well as actively
participated in the debian-installer work. Why should you not threat a
question on my part as from any other developer ? And if you do not, would it
not be understandable that i feel irritated by this inacceptable behavior that
has a blocking effect on my own participation to debian.

Whatever. I believe that your response to email send to ftp-master's role in
debian should not be influenced by any personal negative opinion you may have
on me, even if it may be warranted. We all work together to make the debian
release as great and swift as possible, and this kind of blacklisting of some
of our developers is inacceptable, and a severe failure in the ftp-master's
role responsability against the project.

2005-03-21 Thread Andreas Barth
Dear, all,

 [...]

I'm quite unhappy that this thread has turned so bad.  Please, all of us
who are part of this thread, can we please try to get the heat out.

I think we all are happy that ftp-masters and -assistents are currently
working on reducing the NEW queue to a reasonable size.  This will have
some good effect not only on the kernel, but also on every other package
in Debian.  I also think that we should be thankful for their hard work.

Also, I think we all know that keeping the kernel in sync is currently a
not too easy job.  So, for very similar reasons, we all should be happy
with the steady progress we're having on the kernel.  If we consider
woody's situation, we have by far too many kernel packages - a problem
that was solved by the kernel team for sarge.


So, we all are doing a hard job, and life is sometimes just stressing.
It would be really great if we can manage to keep the heat out, that
would help us all to do a better (and more enjoyable) job.


Thanks for your attention,
Andi

I agree.  Complete silence and no feedback is a real problem when it
happen, and only worse if it is an official debian role failing to
communicate.  But I believe things are improving a lot when it comes

 have time for ANY other Debian work.

No-one is asking anyone to reply to the wast flod of emails coming
from Sven the last few days.  But emails sent to the official debian
role ftpmaster should get some kind of response.

 Well, sending email to a discussion forum like debian-devel, and
 sending email to a debian-role like ftp-master is not comparable,
 and i think it shows a profund lack of responsability on your part
 even suggesting this.

I believe Joroen tried to express that mistakes do happen, and that
the ftpmasters can delete email by mistake when their mailbox is
filling up.

Perhaps this could be solved with some kind of ticket system handling
email to the official roles in debian?  I'm not sure if BTS is the
best option to handle emails to ftpmaster, leader and others.  Perhaps
request-tracker is a better option?  We use it at work, and it seem to
do request handling quite well (at least when we added the email
administration interface. :).

What surprises me is the energy and hostality Matthew Wilcox
demonstrates by attacking you in later private emails.  A good thing
he isn't part of the ftpmaster team (as far as I can see).  The
ftpmasters seem to have a professional attitude towards the role they
have in the project.  I wish we could expect that from all the
participants in the project.

(But you are right, Sven.  No-one should have to accept abuse for the
work one does as a volunteer in the Debian project.  That applies for
both you, the ftpmasters, the release managers, all the debian
developers and the users.  Those unable to behave sivilised against
their fellow volunteers should be ashamed of themselves.)

 I agree.  Complete silence and no feedback is a real problem when it
 happen, and only worse if it is an official debian role failing to
 communicate.  But I believe things are improving a lot when it comes
 to the ftpmaster role, and have great hopes that Jeroen is part of the

No, he is not, as far as i am concerned, unless he presents his apologies

No, that is not acceptable, and probably not the right reason for this. Until
evidence proves otherwise, it is just because they don't care to read those
emails, and that that email address is simply forwarded to /dev/null.

This was a misunderstanding on my part, due to the fact that I
received the replies from Sven before I received the replies from
Matthew.  The fact that the replies were done on public lists and not
in private email do not change how I react to their content.

Re: NEW handling: About rejects, and kernels (Was: Re: NEW handling ...)

2005-03-21 Thread Christian Perrier
 I'm quite unhappy that this thread has turned so bad.  Please, all of us
 who are part of this thread, can we please try to get the heat out.


I can't agree more. What I have seen up to now is make me very
sad. Seeing Sven considering to resign is sad news for me.

I won't play the others started first game, I leave this to my kids
(well, probably even the youngest of them wouldn't play this game
anymore).

Up to now, I have seen very rude and unacceptable mails addressed
directly to Sven Luther. There has been other rude mails sent to other
people as well which is obviously unacceptable as well (no, Sven, not
necessary from you). And I certainly missed a lot of other crap
because I have read about 5% of these threads.

The most difficult thing to do, especially by mail, is just
recognizing that one went too far or just that you are wrong. Several
people went too far in this thread. I think all should really consider
doing what adult and mature people would do : just apologize, take a
break and avoid definitive statementsand continue working in this
project, because sometimes our arguments are not only out weakness but
our strength.

I don't agree with several things written by Sven here or there. I
probably agree with a lot of others...and I just don't understand
another bunch of such things. 

I have seen serious attempts to make proposals which seems quite
constructive to me. I also have seen probably far too much mails
(sorry, Sven, but IMHO you really should have slowed your contribution
to all threads but, well, ce qui est fait est fait)

But even what I may not agree with does not prevent me to consider
that losing his valuable input is not good for this project, just like
losing the work of any individual involved here would be bad.

OK, people, as far as I have seen we are all supposed to be adult
people herenot in a kind of kindergarten.

So, who starts and just makes one or two steps backward. And, please
no He should do so first answerfor $deity's sake, please be
adult.

 No, he is not, as far as i am concerned, unless he presents his
 apologies first.

For what?  Commenting on your wast amount of email posted the last few
days, and his suggestion that the amount of email could make the
ftpmasters delete mails by mistake?  I can not really believe that is
your problem, so please enlighten me.

 No, that is not acceptable, and probably not the right reason for
 this. Until evidence proves otherwise, it is just because they don't
 care to read those emails, and that that email address is simply
 forwarded to /dev/null.

I didn't say it was acceptable.  I tried to put it in perspective.
I'm well aware of at least some of the communication issues with the
ftpmasters, but truly believe these problems are because the
ftpmasters are overworked, not because they are evil.  And I believe
this even though one of the ftpmasters told me on IRC to stop wasting
his time when I wanted to discuss making the list of packages in NEW
public.  I put it on the account of misjudgement during stress, not
evil will.

I suspect you would be better off if you accepted that misjudgement
and mistakes happen also for the ftpmasters.  After all, your emails
haven't been the perfect examples of rational and clear speek either
(though not as hostile as others on the list. :).  I do not hold that
against you, and wish you didn't hold such miscommunications and and
misjudgements against the other volunteers in Debian.

 That would be a solution. But then are the ftp-masters ready to get
 the problems they receive publicly visible ?

I didn't propose to make it all public.  request-tracker is capable of
fine grained access control.

 No, a professional attitude would have them reply to the people they
 are working with.

Again, I agree that the ftpmaster role should reply to all requests.
But if the volunteers filling this role are very busy, it does not
help to shout at them and send even more email.  A different solution
must be found, and I hope and believe we are on our way to a solution
to the problems the project is facing.

 but this have become the norm these past couple month, and Steve's
 'proposal' was the last straw.

I guess I do not read the proposal the way you read it.  I read it as
a document describing the problems the release team and the ftpmaster
experiences with the release process, and their ideas on how to
improve the situation.  But first and formost, I read the proposal as
a good step forward for the release of sarge.  After all, the ideas
for reorganizing the process for etch wasn't the most important part
of the vancouver announcement.  The most important part was that the
release managers and the ftpmasters are coordinated in their work to
release Sarge.

Since the meeting 189 packages have been processed from the NEW queue.
I believe this is the result of the meeting, where the ftpmasters was
able to meet with prospective ftpmaster assistant.  I also believe the
increased effort to release sarge is a result of this meeting.

Well, this email is already getting fairly long.  Enough hot air from
me this time, I believe.

I am truly sorry for loosing you.  You have done a good job helping
Debian progress the state of free software, and it is sad that you
decide to throw in the towel because of hard language from a fellow
Debian volunteer. :(

Thanks for this, it is hearthening (or however you say that in english).

I should really not have participated in that thread (and i resent a bit to
Steve for it), and i am probably better of not following debian-devel, as i
had not done for ages before. 

Still i believe i have made some constructive proposals, and even if my first
posts may have been a bit too aggressive, for which i apologize, or too many,
i think it is also a prove of the passion which lies on this issue. Something
which has the potential to affect many of what we believe debian is, and which
is handled by utter contempt, at least in the initial posting.

Still hurt though,

I sent perhaps 3-4 or in any case less than 10 emails to them, over the past
two years. A couple of those was to have them clean up the reject queue which
was spaming debian-kernel daily, this hardly is shouting and sending even more
emails, isn't it. I sent one mail, and waited, and in the email spam case a
second or third a couple of weeks later if i remember well.

Someone who has not the time to reply to 3-4 civil emails in 2 years, well, he
should probably reconsider his involvement or whatever.

Bug#300783: kernel-source-2.6.8: [CAN-2005-0815] Multiple range checking flaws in ISO9660 filesystem handler

2005-03-21 Thread Moritz Muehlenhoff
Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-14
Severity: important
Tags: security

Quoting an advisory by ISS:
Linux Kernel versions prior to 2.6.12-rc1 are vulnerable to unspecified
vulnerabilities in the ISO9660 filesystem handler, including the Rock Ridge
and Juliet extensions. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted
filesystem to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code on the
system.

It's been fixed as of 2.6.12-rc1, according to
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12837 kernel 2.4 is affected as well.

There's a test program at http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/393590.

Re: SATA controller not recognized by sarge

2005-03-21 Thread Hannuman Bull
Bela,
I just net-installed Sarge on my new gateway with a sata HD. I had to 
type linux26 at the boot prompt. Otherwise, sarge would load the 
default 2.4.xx kernel and would not find the HD.

good luck,

Hello  world,

netinstall  dowloaded in Dec 2004),  but it is not recognized, while  
SL 3 (  scientific  Linux based  on RH , downloaded in Feb 2005 ) and 
Fedora core 3, recogniaed the HD.
I want to know if the newest  netinstall recognize this type of 
hardware ?
otherwise  howto install my sarge,  is there a possibility to add such 
parameter to the boot.

thanks in advance
best regards
bela

Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 13:49:49 -0700
The ia64 2.6.8-3 ABI change has been accepted into unstable.  This ABI
change was necessary to fix an ia64-specific issue w/ having PREEMPT
enabled, and I took the opportunity to do it at the same time as the
recent security ABI change(s).

What should gate this from entering testing?
  * Nothing, let it go in - as long as l-k-di-ia64 isn't updated
  * Current efforts to get all archs using an ABI number?
  * RC4?

Should I go ahead and do a build of l-k-di-ia64-2.6 on trunk (or sarge)
 upload to sid?
