As you may have seen on the d-boot list I have changed this in the final version after a discussion with Ted Ts'o. I now include a complete replacement of the mke2fs.conf file that has the same defaults as current Etch. Besides the reverted inode_size default this also reverts the addition of the "ext_attr" feature. > > There are still things to decide, and IMO consensus on this should be > > reached soon! > > - The naming of the etch+1/2 kernel meta packages is now suddenly > > essential for the installer and should thus be decided on ASAP. > > We talked about this on #debian-kernel last week, and > linux-image-2.6-$flavor-etchnhalf had no objections.
