Sorry, I was a bit remiss in checking up to see if 2.4.22 had been removed or not. Obviously there is no point in applying these patches to a non-existent package. > OK, so there is no point in keeping these bugs around.

I tried to add the sid tag to the bugs which only effect kernels in sid, and ommitt it otherwise. In otherwords, for woody, look into the ones that don't have the sid tag. I have a couple of questions about the kernel packages. 1. If Herbet is no longer the maintainer, who is? 2. Am I currect in thinking that sid currently has the following kernel-source packages, no more, no less? 2.4: 2.4.20, 2.4.24, 2.4.2, 2.4.26 2.6: 2.6.5, 2.6.6 3. Are there any plans to remove any of these packages in the near future. 4. What packages are going to be included in sid? My understanding is that for woody, basically each architecture has one supported kernel-source tree, with the possibly addition of some specialised trees. From memory this is 2.4.18 or 2.4.17 depending on the architecture. Is something similar planned for sid? 5. Is there a mailing list / web page / whatever that outlines what kernels are currently available in what distribution, which are planned for removal, etc... 6. Does anyone check the CVEs and other vendor's updated kernel package advisories as they come out to make sure that the debian packages are up to date? 7. Is there any value in me refiling these bugs, and possibly other of a similar vein, against other kernel-source packages. And if so, which ones? I am quite willing to help out, please point me in the right direction. -- Horms
