Hi all, Its been 2 months without a reply on this issue, and we are getting close to a freeze. Kees and John it looks like there are some pending questions for you below, it would be great if you could chime in with your opinons:

My opinon: the 2.4 compat patch is tiny, and it works well, and has been tested for some time, I think it makes the most sense to include this one. >On the other hand, it seems the new patches are being upstreamed, >which makes them more appealing somehow than the older ones. The newer patch is bigger, some of it must be backported from Linux 3.4, some from Ubuntu, it is much less tested and I suspect because of that will encounter much more resistance from Debian's kernel team to include it. Presumably this will eventually be the one that will be upstreamed, but it isn't there yet. This is why I think the 2.4 compat patch is the way to go with Wheezy, when the newer patch is upstreamed that can be swapped out then. >John, I think it would help if you could please point us more >precisely to the commits of the new interface that have been >upstreamed already, and to the ones that have not been, so that we can >get a rough idea of where things are at. > >Kees, others, what do you think? micah -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
