Bug#749014: Please reenable CONFIG_USB_UAS

2014-12-11 Thread Peter Samuelson
reassign 749014 src:linux thanks [Ben Hutchings] Your mail server seems to be broken. Right you are, thanks for the extra step to contact me via the BTS. This should be assigned to src:linux not a binary package. Also correct, I just didn't know offhand whether there was a way to assign to

Bug#749014: Please enable CONFIG_USB_UAS

2014-05-22 Thread Peter Samuelson
Package: linux-image-3.15-rc5-amd64 Version: 3.15~rc5-1~exp1 Severity: wishlist CONFIG_USB_UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is apparently now solidly supported: a patchset arrived in the 3.15 window to rewrite it and remove it from CONFIG_BROKEN. Please add this to kernels that support USB 3.0 (it may

[Brad Spengler] Frankly it makes more sense for me to offer .debs myself than to deal with a bureaucracy and non-standard kernel in Debian. It contains who-knows-what extra code, and I doubt anyone looked at any of it to see if it allows for some way to leak information I prevent against a

2009-03-16 Thread Peter Samuelson
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92o Severity: normal ext3 includes mount option 'data={ordered,writeback,journal}'. However, it also has a restriction that you cannot change the 'data=' parameter with 'remount'. Therefore, you have to pass the correct one at initial mount time, even though

[W. Borgert] - Is it relevant, whether Python is compiled on a system with 2.6 or 2.4 kernel? If so, how can I find out on which kernel the Debian package has been built? Might or might not be relevant - depends on whether the python build scripts attempt to detect the kernel
