  To which debian kernel source version? Please be more specific.
 It won't apply to *any* 2.6.8 version as there were no upstream
 release from that; major changes to the VM(?) forced them to rewrite
 their patch magnificaly which took time (next upstream version was
 for 2.6.10 if I am not mistaken).
 

Mmm, right I probably tried it with sid sources for 2.6.11 for a project of 
mine...

Bug#310577: 'kernel-patch-grsecurity2' does not apply to any current sarge kernel

2005-05-24 Thread Francesco Paolo Lovergine
Package: kernel-patch-grsecurity2
Version: 2.1.5-1
Severity: grave

Dear Laszlo Boszormenyi (GCS) 

As reported in http://people.debian.org/~frankie/kernel-patches-checks.txt, 
kernel-patch-grsecurity2 does not
apply clean to a current kernel-source. If you think this package is anyway 
useful at least with
an up-to-date vanilla kernel and sure that it applies properly, feel free to 
document this in the 
package and reduce the severity of this report, else this kernel-patch will be 
hinted for 
removing in sarge.

See also this ML thread about the issue:

 Yes, but I will test again then just to be 101% sure.

 Ouch! Somewhere the package installation of the warning is missed,
but it is in the package itself; see debian/README.* .
They need update, so I do not reduce the severity now, but maybe
will reduce it to important only. Anyway, will correct the READMEs.
The debconf warning is there by the way (debian/po/templates.pot).

  else this kernel-patch will be hinted for 
 removing in sarge.
Please do not remove it now, will update the READMEs to be
up-to-date soon.

Regards,
Laszlo/GCS

About that specific patch, the nice thing is that the nude patch applies
nicely to debian kernel source, but kernel-patch fails :-?
