heya,
i don't really know... a lot of people ask me. i'm not too fond of the
latest 2.6.20 kernel (they're at 2.6.20.11 allready). reasons:
they introduced KVM, and kernel programmers tend to make a mess of new
code. so i don't really trust the security of that (yet)
since the grsec patches i add , are primarily to enhance security, i'm
not too fond of the latest and greatest kernel.
there is no official release for grsec+pax for 2.6.20, i could use a
"beta" version, but ... well... that's just beta :)
so my plan was to wait for a release of grsec/pax, then do a new
merge/patch/fix for that kernel!
do you need a 2.6.21 kernel badly? or is the 2.6.19.7 good enough for
now? i won't do a 2.6.20 patch i think ;)
the next one will be 2.6.21.x (they allready have the 2.6.21.1, who
knows what bugs occur tomorrow.. ;))

I don't see a combined "vs2.2.0-grsec2.1.10" for a 2.6.20 kernel on the Wiki page. I see from the GRSec list that they have a patch out for the 2.6.21 kernel. Prior experience has shown me that patching them separately doesn't work regardless of order.
Is there a combined patch for any 2.6.2x kernel I just haven't found somewhere?
If not, any plans to produce one in the near future?
