Dear Mentors, I am intend to contine Martin F. Krafft's work on Grsecurity[1], I have filed an ITA[2] for this. I already released a new version as upstream release is available, it's available via web[3] or apt[4]. However upstream states that the old (1.9.x) version support is deprecated as the 2.0 version came out[5] as stable. I would like to ask what would be the best choice for a name of the new package for version 2.0? kernel-patch-2.4-grsecurity2 and kernel-patch-2.6-grsecurity2 or kernel-patch-grsecurity2 comes to my mind. The former: + separates the 2.4 and 2.6 versions + means smaller packages, so if one wants only 2.6 version, then s/he does not get a double sized package + for the reason above, it lightens the load on mirrors - means two seaprate packages, which may or may not be needed
The latter: + it's 99% that 2.4 and 2.6 version will come out simultanously, so it can be updated at once (well maybe not, but that's a small problem) + only one package, not fragmented - contains files not needed for all users (usually someone runs only 2.6 or 2.4 kernel only) My choice would be the latter, and I already done a version of it, available from the same locations on the web[3] or via apt[4]. For this I haven't filed an ITP, as the name is not yet fully clear, I would appreciate your point on this. Also if someone has notes about the packaging, I would be happy to hear them.
