Could you make an initial checkin of this, not activate it by default, but just to give some example and basis for Thiemo (or someone else) once he has time to work on it again.

That's a decision that needs to be made together with the people who will be doing security support for the kernel in etch. Debian's 2.6.8 kernel contains (including the upcoming sarge2 kernels) patches for 107 distinct security problems with a CVE ID. Given that 2.6.8 was introduced in August 2004 and security support for Etch will end in December 2007 this might very well be around 200 issues by the time support for Sarge fades out. So, the bare numbers should make it pretty obvious why all archs should build out of the linux-2.6 package. Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The mips kernels, though built from a separate source package, use the sources from the common kernel source package via a build-dependency. Is the impact of this two-step build process really that significant to the security processes? I would have thought it was a drop in the bucket next to the work of actually preparing the security fixes themselves, and particularly for woody/sarge where we have three major versions of Linux running around. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

* Steve Langasek [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-01-11 17:31]: The mips kernels, though built from a separate source package, use the sources from the common kernel source package via a build-dependency. This discussion is a waste of time anyway. There's no religious reason why the mips kernel is not integrated in linux-2.6. There are currently no mips/mipsel kernels (in unstable), and those in experimental (against 2.6.12) use their own source package since they were not ready for integration in linux-2.6 yet (note the 'experimental' part). Thiemo's currently moving so it might take a bit, but there'll be mips/mipsel support in the linux-2.6 package eventually. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

remaining linux-2.6 RC bugs ...
Hi, ... I have been looking at the remaining linux-2.6 RC bug, in the wake of the 2.6.15 release. There are 7 RC bugs remaining now : #337493: linux-2.6 2.6.14 should not move to testing unexpectedly. #343260: Grub: After installing linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7 grub had wrong entries #343443: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7: Doesn't boot: /sys/block/hde/dev not found #343686: debsums: checksums mismatch + bug #343048 again #344515: kernel module ip2100 crashes when loading firmware on amd64-system #343092: linux-image configuration fails #343934: kernel-2.6: FTBFS on mips/experimental Of these, #337493 ius artificial and can be closed anytime, #343260 is a kernel-package/grub bug, #343443 and #343092 are the same yaird bug, #343686 is a kernel-package issue, and #343934 is ths's fault. Of these only #344515 is remotely a kernel issue, and it is probably due to the ip2100 (non-free?) firmware being 32bit only or whatever, and affects only amd64. There will probably be a slew of new bugs for 2.6.15, but provided the above are moved to the right packages, and their maintainers take things in hand, there is not anything especially worrysome remaining.
