Hi all, As you know there is currently a problem with loop-aes as the 2.6.17 debs are wanted in testing to go with the current kernel, but they are blocked by the udebs from the same source package which should stay at 2.6.16 because of D-I Beta1.
Max has been working on repackaging so the udebs are built separately from
the debs (just as for regular kernel udebs).
The udebs will now be part of linux-modules-di-<arch>-2.6 source packages,
in which other out-of-tree modules can be added later.
The current loop-aes-modules source package (producing both debs and
udebs) is being replaced with loop-aes (producing only debs) and this has
already been uploaded to unstable (built against 2.6.17).
To get all packages, both in testing and unstable in line as soon as
possible, I propose the following migration plan. This was already
discussed with Jeroen who is willing to do the necessary udeb magic.
1a) Upload new linux-modules-di-* udebs based on 2.6.16 to unstable
1b) Migrate these to testing ASAP
2) Migrate loop-aes-modules (2.6.17) to testing (including udebs; these
won't hurt d-i there)
3a) Upload new linux-modules-di-* udebs based on 2.6.17 to unstable
3b) Remove old loop-aes-modules (2.6.17) udebs from unstable
4) Upload loop-aes built against (2.6.18) to unstable
We should be able to do this within about a week, maybe a few days more.
The last stage of the migration can only be done once d-i RC 1 is released
and the 2.6.18 kernel has migrated to testing:
5) Remove loop-aes-modules source package from the archive
Cheers,
FJP
