To faciliate testing (by Debian users at least), I've created (or let's say, hacked together) both a kernel-patch package and a kernel-image package including Roland's patch. They are both available at http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/xattr-hurd/ The Debian packages are called kernel-patch-xattr-hurd_20040220-1_all.deb and kernel-image-2.6.2-1-686_2.6.2-3_i386.deb. The kernel-patch is reportedly quite handy when building packages with make-kpkg (I've never did this myseld), while the kernel-image is just a drop-in replacement of the current stock Debian kernel for i686 (it has the second do_mremap() security fix from 2.6.3 included). I guess I could build images for other ia32-based kernels on demand. I could not figure out how to reliably add a '-xattr-hurd' to the package/file/directory names, so that one could install both this kernel-image and the original verson in parallel, so I did not do this for now. I'm typing this mail running the kernel-image. Enjoy, Michael _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
