Debian kernel version for lenny?

2008-03-31 Thread Ola Lundqvist
Hi

I'm the maintainer of kernel-patch-openvz (soon linux-patch-openvz)
and I would like to know which version of the linux kernel that
you think will be part of Lenny?

The reason is that the porting process for a specific kernel version
is rather high for upstream, because Debian and pristine kernel
do have rather lot of differences. The openvz kernel patch is also
very big (~ 700kB).

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

// Ola

i saw that openvz patch comes quite late too after upstream stable
release.

well porting is the oot trouble, but the openvz do very cool cleanups
along the namespace additions. although i kinda doubt that it will
be ready for lenny release. the next trouble is that vserver left
tracking mainline since 2.6.22.

we have not settled for the lenny version it is certainly  2.6.24.
Most probable candidate is 2.6.26.

best regards

What is linux-module-extra? I have not heard about it before.

Yes that is probably the case. This is the main reason behind my question.
Upstream is the one that ask me. :) They want to know where to focus
their resources.

We successfully managed it last release, but it was not that easy to convince
the release managers. ;)

Ahh I was not aware of that. Do you know if Micah is working on that?

Ok, thanks that is really good to know.
