Hi,
3 days ago Frederik Schueler mentioned the following item for then's
today in his Kernel schedule proposal for Etch:
start migration of 2.6.17 kernel and udebs to testing
I asked him on #d-kernel precisely what was being done about this but
got no answer. I didn't see anything happen and currently linux-2.6 is
still frozen. Today I saw a linux-2.6.16 upload, which I found
suspicious since I can't see its use if 2.6.17 is about to transition to
testing. I mentioned this on #d-release, and resulting discussion with
vorlon made me realize that it's possible that the Linux team wouldn't
necessarily feel responsible for requesting a linux-2.6 update, as
according to him, "the reason it was frozen in the first place was to
keep 2.6.17 from clobbering 2.6.16 in etch before beta3".
Since I'm afraid that the Linux team isn't doing anything to update
linux-2.6 in testing and that nothing else feels responsible for doing
so, I'm initiating the discussion. I request the release team to force a
linux-2.6 update (to 2.6.17) in testing in 3 days unless objections are
raised until then. If you have an objection, please raise it on
debian-release only (dropping d-boot and d-kernel).
