Please read the whole mail before you install these packages. Warnings -------- Please consider the following before you install these packages: - These are packages taken from unstable recompiled on potato. You can't expect that they are as stable as the packages in potato and although I'll try my best I can't garuantee anything. - When you upgrade modutils you can no longer run a modular 2.0.x kernel. - Some packages you'll perhaps need aren't yet included because some bugs need to be fixed before I'll include them: * devfsd * isdnutils Installation ------------ If you still want to install these package you can do so by adding deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main to your /etc/apt/sources.list or you can download them directly from http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ Bug reports ----------- Please tell me when you find a problem with these packages or if other packages are needed. Don't report bugs in these packages to the Debian bug tracking system! Versioning of these packages ---------------------------- When I had to recompile a packageI have decreased the last digit of the package version by one and added a ".bunk", e.g. 3.x.0a-2 -> 3.x.0a-1.bunk to mark that these packages aren't the official ones but packages I've recompiled. When you'll some time upgrade your distribution to woody you'll get the official package installed instead. The exception from this rule is ipmasq where I didn't decrease the last digit before adding the ".bunk" because this is the official package plus an important patch. Architectures ------------- Currently, only i386 is supported. I had one request for powerpc packages and I'm willing to add this and other architectures. But higher priority items are for me: - Fixing problems that occur. - Add the packages I mentioned in "Warnings" as still missing. - Some other both Debian (my packages, sponsoring people, QA) and non-Debian (studies, finding a new job,...) items. Upgraded packages ----------------- Version e2fsprogs 1.19-3 Binary packages: - comerr-dev - e2fslibs-dev - e2fsprogs - ss-dev - uuid-dev ipmasq 3.5.5 (+ patch from #85781) ksymoops 2.4.0-1 modutils 2.4.1-2 pcmcia-cs 3.1.24-2 (without pcmcia-modules) Binary packages: - pcmcia-cs - pcmcia-source ppp 2.4.0f-1 util-linux 2.10q-1 Binary packages: - bsdutils - mount - util-linux New packages ------------ Version iptables 1.2-6 kernel-source-2.4.1 2.4.1-3 reiserfsprogs 3.x.0a-2 Changelog --------- Version 1: * Initial release. ----- End forwarded message ----- yours, peter -- PGP signed and encrypted | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** messages preferred. | : :' : By professionals, | `. `' for professionals http://www.palfrader.org/ | `- http://www.debian.org/
