Hi all. As many of you may know on some machines users will need to install a current kernel before they will be able to upgrade woody to sarge (or better: glibc of woody to glibc of sarge). I've tried to use the available information to provide the needed files for these kernel upgrades. To my knowledge the affected machines/architecures are currently hppa64, sparc sun4m (only some of them) and 80386.
Because of the pain to maintain a kernel backport over the lifetime of sarge we have decided to only offer backports of the needed tools (modutils, module-init-tools and initrd-tools) to use stock sarge kernels on woody. It is planned to upload these files together with some documentation into a upgrade-kernel (or whatever else name the ftpmasters will prefer) directory in the archive. I've prepared the necessary backports and some rudimentary documentation and put it online at http://higgs.djpig.de/upgrade/upgrade-kernel/ We now need people that - test the backports - read/comment on/improve the documentation Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
