take the time to test those patches, because if debian folks can't live with the 'vanilla' kernel + vserver patch, I expect them to do the testing. this project can not scale if I develop for 10 different distro specific kernels ...
I totally agree. I don't believe that anyone expects you to take on the responsibility for each distribution-specific flavour either. At least I hope not. :-)
With reference to bug #245858; did someone else finally ever actually test this combination patch-kernel? Or is it my kernel config that's balmy?
I assume that it is the patch.
indeed it is, and I would expect the maintainer (you) at least to compile a new kernel/patch before uploading them, but maybe this is different for debian ...
don't get me wrong, I'm glad that somebody is the designated debian maintainer for linux-vserver, but maybe it would better to tell debian folks _not_ to use the debian packages ...
That's another topic, but I'll bite: Using out-of-debian kernel patches *on* debian kernels gives me feelings of uncertainty an reluctance. On the other hand there's that warm, fuzzy feeling when I decide to install and try any kernel-patch-* debian package which I know, most of the time, applies in a smoothless and transparent manner.
I have full confidence in Olas judgement and work as a package maintainer... Although I agree that actually testing packages of this kind before uploading them can at times like these save yet another bug report. ;-)
(Oh, and thanks all for the good and quick feedback!)
