Handling of linux-modules-*-2.6 during freeze
Hi folks linux-modules-*-2.6 also produces a source-availability problem, they use source including binary packages from unstable to build binary packages. In unstable this is usualy no problem as we ship the source in at least one variant. For the packages in testing this can be a problem, escpecially during freeze. This problem popped up now because virtualbox-ose got a new upstream version in unstable which is not meant to be included in Lenny. For a short-term fix I only see three solutions: - Continue to upload to unstable, drop virtualbox modules. - Upload to testing-proposed-updates. - Let virtualbox-ose into Lenny. I don't like the variants 2 and 3 but I would use number 2 if the release team agrees. As d-i repacks this packages into udebs, they need to know about that also.

This problem popped up now because virtualbox-ose got a new upstream version in unstable which is not meant to be included in Lenny. As this is the problem, this is where it needs to be solved... For a short-term fix I only see three solutions: - Continue to upload to unstable, drop virtualbox modules. - Upload to testing-proposed-updates. - Let virtualbox-ose into Lenny. None of these look really good to me. Another solution would be a reupload of 1.6.2-dfsg-6 with a higher version than currently in unstable. Cc-ed the maintainers so they can comment. Please let them first the opportunity to react and explain how they see it. Cheers Luk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This may produce another bunch of problems with the version generation in the linux-modules-* packages which I currently don't want to find out. It works now, and I'm glad that it works. What I don't want is to introduce another variable like epochs just for fun.

In this case I think t-p-u is the best alternative and I agree that if the version generation code doesn't this support up to now, this is too late to add it. -- O T A V I OS A L V A D O R - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br - Microsoft sells you Windows ...

Either we remove virtualbox-ose from the release or we accept the version in unstable AFAICS, though as I asked before, please let the maintainers comment... it was stupid to upload 1.6.6 to unstable, however, the the only sane thing imho is, to unblock vbox and let that vesion into lenny. the version should be fine. everything else is even more a hassle. -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
