(new) kernel-doc-2.4.27_2.4.27-1_all.deb optional doc
Linux kernel specific documentation for version 2.4.27
This package provides The various readme's in the 2.4.27 kernel
Documentation/ subdirectory: these typically contain kernel-specific
installation notes for some drivers for example. See
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-X.X.XX/Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what
is contained in each file. Please read the Changes file, as it
contains information about the problems, which may result by
upgrading your kernel.

Debian patches to Linux 2.4.27
This package includes the patches used to produce the prepackaged
kernel-source-2.4.27 package. They should be applied to a pristine
Linux 2.4.27 kernel.

Linux kernel source for version 2.4.27 with Debian patches
This package provides the source code for the Linux kernel version 2.4.27 with
modifications by Debian. It is used to build the various prepackaged
kernel-image packages.
.
You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing "make config"
and following instructions, but you could install libncurses-dev and
tk-dev and try "make menuconfig" for a jazzier, and easier to use
interface. Also, please read the detailed documentation in the file
/usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.4.27/README.headers.gz.
.
If you wish to use this package to create a custom Linux kernel, then
it is suggested that you investigate the package kernel-package,
which has been designed to ease the task of creating kernel image
packages.

Linux kernel tree for building prepackaged Debian kernel images
This meta package is used as a build-time dependency of prepackaged
Debian kernel-image packages. Its dependencies are structured so that a
complete kernel tree with Debian patches applied will be available after
this package is installed.
.
For those intending to use this package as a build-time dependency, this
package provides a list of virtual packages that guarantees the availability
of a particular Debian revision of the kernel tree. The
kernel-image-2.4.27-i386 package is an example of this.
Changes: kernel-source-2.4.27 (2.4.27-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
.
* Bugs fixed (will shortly be fixed in 2.4.26 as well, and closed there):
- #264202: doesn't build with CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS enabled
- #255406: Kernel crash when removing interface from wrong bridge
group
- #262870: device-mapper patch screwed up; prevents application of
evms patches (see below)
.
* CVE issues fixed by this release:
- CAN-2004-0495 (Al Viro sparse fixes)
- CAN-2004-0497 (users could modify group ID of arbitrary files on
the system)
- CAN-2004-0535 (e1000 minor info leak)
- CAN-2004-0685 (backported Conectiva usb sparse fixes)
- CAN-2004-0415 (file offset pointer handling race)
- CAN-2004-0565 (information leak ia64)
.
* Split out all of the monolithic patches into feature-divided patches.
Change apply/unpatch scripts to use this new system, using metadata to
describe which patches are added or removed in a given release.
.
However, apply script retains the same features on the outside as the
old one (i.e. incremental updates to old kernel-source trees of the same
upstream version.)
.
* Update the DM patch from kernel-patch-device-mapper.
.
* Apply IPsec update, thanks Horms.
.
* Merge patches from kernel-image-sparc-2.4 in.
.
* Run prune-non-free. This removes tg3.c, but 063_firmwareless_tg3.diff
adds the firmware-unencumbered one.
.
* Fix build dependencies:
- Everything becomes Build-Depends-Indep: this package produces
no arch-dependent packages.
- libc-dev -> libc6-dev | libc-dev.
- libncurses-dev | ncurses-dev -> libncurses5-dev | libncurses-dev.
- debian/compat is 3, so add a versioned B-D-I on debhelper (>= 3).
Announcing to debian-devel-changes@lists.debian.org
Your package contains new components which requires manual editing of
the override file. It is ok otherwise, so please be patient. New
packages are usually added to the override file about once a week.
You may have gotten the distribution wrong. You'll get warnings above
if files already exist in other distributions.
