Hello, Again history repeats itself, and the new powerpc kernel packages are now held captive in the incoming queue for nearly (if not already more) than one month. And the excuse for it is a bug in the autobuilders for which a hacky workaround was already included in 2.6.6-5 more than 3 weeks ago.
This is one of the disease of the kernel package management, and until a situation such as this has not been fixed, it is illusory to ever expect debian to have quality kernel packages. I just hope that this time, there will not be a intrusion like last time this happened, which will delay the acceptance of those packages for 3 more month or so, and that i will not be forced to start whining all over the mailing lists like last time. I already contacted the DPL, which i don't remember having responded, and asked Colin which mentioned this to one of the ftp-masters by the end of debconf, but apparently to no avail. I just hope that we will find a solution to this sometime soon, and that we will not face this kind of problems each time we face a new kernel version, or a minor package version change. Friendly, Sven Luther
