Hi Martin, Steve Langasek asked me to get in contact with you in regards to kernel security updates for sarge. I am happy to report that I and other members of the kernel team have been keeping the kernel-source for both 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 up to date in SVN. And as of yesterday afternoon I have no outstanding security bugs for either.
I think the best way forwards would be you, or someone
else on the security team to go through the changelogs provided,
and say yes an no to each item. There are some non-security
changes in there, mainly fixes for breakage, which IMHO should
go in, but I'm happy for you to say no. Its really up to
you and the other security people. Perhaps they are more
appropriate for rc1, perhaps not. I don't really mind.
Once we have a consensus on what can go in I can build
the kernel-source packages and upload them (somewhere).
I can also build the kernel-image-i386 and kernel-patch-powerpc
patches. Other architectures are built by other members of the
kernel team. And some architectures (e.g. ARM) aren't handled
by the kernel team at all.
For reference, these are the architectues that I believe
the kernel team handles, and the version of the kernel source
they are using in Sarge:
Base kernel source version of package in Sarge
2.4.27: alpha kernel-tree-2.4.27-9 (seems to be out of date in SVN)
hppa kernel-tree-2.4.27-8
i386 kernel-tree-2.4.27-8
ia64 kernel-tree-2.4.27-8
mips kernel-tree-2.4.27-8 (versioned dependancy needs to be
changed to kernel-tree-2.4.27-8)
s390 kernel-tree-2.4.27-8
sparc kernel-tree-2.4.27-9
powerpc kernel-tree-2.4.27-8 (versioned dependancy is missing)
Base kernel source version of package in Sarge
2.6.8: alpha kernel-tree-2.6.8-15
amd64 (arch i386) kernel-tree-2.6.8-13
hppa kernel-tree-2.6.8-13
i386 kernel-tree-2.6.8-13
ia64 kernel-tree-2.6.8-13
m68k kernel-tree-2.6.8-13
powerpc kernel-tree-2.6.8-13
s390 kernel-tree-2.6.8-13
sparc kernel-tree-2.6.8-15
The changelogs that I would like you to look at are as follows.
Almost all of the changes will be in kernel-source, and I believe
that the log is accurate. There are also changelogs for each
architecture, but these are generally just packaging and kernel-config
changes:
