Uploading linux-2.6 (3.2.19-1)

2012-05-30 Thread Ben Hutchings
I'm intending to release Linux 3.2.19 later today.  The complete release
(files uploaded) depends on Greg K-H and probably won't be done until
later in the week, but we don't use pristine tarballs so this doesn't
hold up a Debian upload.  It will include the usual mixture of security
fixes, other important bug fixes and small changes to support more
hardware.

So I intend to upload linux-2.6 version 3.2.19-1 tomorrow.  This might
require an ABI bump but it is probably avoidable.

The current Debian changes add support for new Blade Engines NICs, CoDel
network queue management, and better integration of the Hyper-V
paravirtualised drivers.

Uploading linux-2.6 (3.2.18-1)

2012-05-19 Thread Ben Hutchings
I intend to release Linux 3.2.18 on Sunday, and then upload linux-2.6
version 3.2.18-1 to unstable.  The upstream changes include quite a few
stability and security fixes, but this update will be much smaller than
3.2.17.  Debian changes include some new hardware support.  No ABI
change should be necessary.

Can 3.2.17-1 be expedited into testing?  I don't believe we've had any
regressions reported.

Good (no ABI changes).

I'll look into making that happen in the next hour.

 Are there any large blockers for uploading 3.1.2-1? I know about

No blockers, but 3.1.3 is due any minute now.

Calling it 3.1.1-1 means another new orig tarball and won't avoid

Hello Ben,

2011/9/29 Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk:
 I intend to upload linux-2.6 version 3.0.0-5 to unstable later this
 week.  This will include stable update 3.0.5 and may require an ABI
 change (I haven't checked yet).  It should fix the FTBFS on some
 architectures in 3.0.0-4 (but other changes may introduce new failures).

 Assuming that we don't find any more problems with the changes in
 experimental to use kernel-wedge, I will apply those to unstable as
 well.  I'll need to upload kernel-wedge yet again with Joey's fix for
 the bug that affected s390.

First of all thanks for the fish.

Yesterday I was playing kernels with 3.0.0-5 and noticed that when
building with dpkg-buildpackage -a$arch, kernel-wedge does not seem to
understand that. I just thought it might be useful to comment, I have
not been able to look into it (at least yet).

When building with -a$arch, you'll also notice the build fails when
doing tools/perf/ as it does not seem to pass
CROSS_COMPILE=${TRIPLET}- into the make call when building perf. I
looked into that, but I havent been able to finish cooking any
(tested) patch for that yet.

I think that kernel-wedge should be testing the environment variables

arch=${DEB_HOST_ARCH:-$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)}

perf will be built as part of the linux-tools (formerly
linux-kbuild-2.6) source package in future.  Please to try to fix
trunk/linux-tools, if it is similarly broken.

They are still possible.  I think we don't really want long-lived
featuresets and will be more open to features that look likely to be
merged upstream.  The PREEMPT_RT patches are steadily being merged and I
would expect to be able to provide rt flavours without use of a
featureset patch in wheezy+1.

So, how to we proceed with the grsec flavour? We didn't come to
a real conclusion wrt to it.

I still very much want to see it merged and I'm still willing to
contribute to the maintenance, as is apparently Yves-Alexis (that's
what I'm reading of his question).

grsec will be long-lived since I don't think upstream will turn
sensible anytime soon. OTOH, if at some point Brad and the other
people behind grsecurity discontinue it, this would be a less severe
regression since the stoppage of providing a virtualisation flavour
like openvz.

Cheers,
Moritz

  * [x86] block, xen: Enable XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND as module

  * Make gcc-4.5 the default compiler (except for alpha, hppa and m68k)

I intend to upload linux-2.6 version 2.6.38-1 to unstable shortly after
the upstream release, along with corresponding versions of
linux-kbuild-2.6 and linux-latest-2.6.  This should then progress into
testing.

The kernel team is discussing removal of the i386/686 flavour and
renaming one or both of the remaining 32-bit flavours.  If we can agree
on what to do before upstream version 2.6.38, this change will be made
in 2.6.38-1; otherwise it will be deferred.  I will provide a patch for
debian-installer kernel selection if necessary.

Ben.

It would be nice if it can be done before since I'll do a surgery on
26th and need to travel for it on 24th or 25th.

 It depends on the ETA for 6.0.1. I'd a week before the targeted date
 assuming it builds fine on all arches. For a confort level, I'd say a
 cuple of weeks like a good time for we to update the installer for it.
 
OK, so what's the targeted date?

We're still working out the precise details, but the general plan is to
aim for 6.0.1 being during FTPMaster's upcoming meeting in Essen. That
starts on the 21st so, working backwards, two weeks would take us to the
coming weekend.

If it's possible to get the source upload in by the end of the weekend,
that would be great. Hopefully getting all the builds in for squeeze
quickly will be no problem; we sometimes ended up cutting things rather
fine in the past for lenny (e.g. arm taking several days to build and a
race condition somewhere in the build setup process which meant some
architectures needed three attempts at the build for some uploads).

Otavio: other than lkdi and the d-i build itself (which I guess could be
a binNMU this time?) which obviously need to come afterwards, are any of
your other proposed uploads dependent on the timing of the kernel
uploads?

Regards,

Adam

Uploading linux-2.6 (2.6.32-31) for point release 6.0.1

2011-02-27 Thread Ben Hutchings
Dann is currently occupied by family matters, so I am preparing to
handle this stable update.

I know that I need to upload in time for the installer team to rebuild
the installer with the new kernel version, addressing the known issues
with the kernel used in 6.0.0.  Please could you let me know what the
deadline is for that?

I've applied most of the remaining security fixes listed as needed in
the kernel-sec repository.  There are a few left which appear to have
relatively minor impact.

There are still many other reported bugs in 2.6.32-30 that look severe
enough to merit a fix in a stable update.  Some of them have identified
upstream fixes.  I hope to spend some time looking through these and
applying fixes before uploading -31, but would really appreciate help
from other kernel team members and any others willing to do bug triage.

Ben.

Does this mean that it would be a good day to start testing the dom0

I think they will, e.g. netback is going through review now and I would
expect it to be merged in time for 2.6.39.

Apparently Linux 2.6.38 will have enough functionality in dom0 that
blkback and netback can be implemented in userland in qemu.

Yes, I'm actively working on it and hope to get it in for 2.6.39.

I think that's the case, yes.

Uploading linux-2.6 (2.6.32-20)

2010-08-10 Thread Ben Hutchings
I intend to upload linux-2.6 to unstable on Wednesday evening or
Thursday morning (GMT+1).  This should fix the FTBFS, and contains many
other bug fixes besides.  Let me know if there's anything I should wait
for.

Ben.

Uploading linux-2.6

2010-08-01 Thread Ben Hutchings
linux-2.6 version 2.6.32-18 should transition to testing in 2 days.
Following that, I intend to upload 2.6.32-19 incorporating stable
release 2.6.32.17 and DRM changes from stable release 2.6.33.7.

I also intend to upload 2.6.35 to experimental shortly.

Shout if there's anything I should wait for.

Ben.

Uploading linux-2.6 2.6.32-16

2010-07-01 Thread Ben Hutchings
I intend to upload a new version of linux-2.6 this weekend,
incorporating stable releases 2.6.32.16 and (for drm drivers) 2.6.33.6.
This does not appear to require an ABI bump.

Shout if there's anything I should wait for.

Ben.

Uploading linux-2.6 2.6.32-12

2010-04-29 Thread Ben Hutchings
I intend to upload linux-2.6 2.6.32-12 tomorrow.  This includes various
ABI changes, so the ABI version will be bumped to 5.  Propagation to
testing is currently blocked by bug #572618, which is not fixed by this
version, but I do have a briefly-tested fix from upstream and hope to
get confirmation soon that this or some similar change will be safe to
apply.

Ben.

  OK, maybe we should start numbering ABIs with this next version.
 
 I'd appreciate that very much.

There has been some argument over whether we should do this or not.
Bastian and Max seem to think that many more ABI-changing config changes
will still be needed and do not want to start numbering yet.  I'm not
convinced that changing the ABI number repeatedly in testing/unstable
will even hurt that much since we no longer have to worry about
dependent module packages in the archive.  It may add to cruft on users'
systems but this can be fixed after a reboot with 'apt-get autoremove'.

I do want to see this argument resolved before building and uploading,
but I also don't want to hold back security and stability fixes.

seems likely

 and do not want to start numbering yet.  I'm not

 systems but this can be fixed after a reboot with 'apt-get autoremove'.

yeah, i think people running sid/testing who do use oot modules
shouldn't have much problem w/ frequent module rebuilds - esp if the
abi is silently changing and they may really need to rebuild anyway.
[Like with a module on my mythbox recently :)]

 I do want to see this argument resolved before building and uploading,
 but I also don't want to hold back security and stability fixes.

 If the ABI changed the package name will change, right? Will it become

no, trunk has no ABI guarantee.
you can bet that each upload has a different one.

once libata is used and the configs all set we can go for stable
numbering.

Sorry, but your package is in testing now.  Please bump the ABI number in
whatever why you want, but you should.

Kind regards,

I guess this means that the next version is no candidate for the release
unless it gets a stable ABI (versioning) and should block the kernel
from migrating for the time being?
