Ok, so if we really want a Debian 2.1 that is 100% kernel 2.2.x compatible it needs this package to be included in frozen. I've just uploaded it in Incoming/ 10 minutes ago. Non-developers can also access it at http://www.ldsol.com/~vincent/ (NB: there are _2_ binary packages to install: util-linux and mount.)
Needless to say that before to be eventually included in frozen, this package must be _heavily_ tested. So if you're currently running the frozen distribution, please install this package and report any problem you may find. NB: back in June 1996, I decided to switch from Slackware to Debian because Debian 1.1 (codename: buzz ;) was the very first to be kernel 2.0.x ready. So I hope having Debian 2.1 kernel 2.2.x ready will attract a lot a new users to Debian. ;) Cordialement, -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Format: 1.5 Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 23:51:57 +0100 Source: util-linux Binary: mount util-linux Architecture: source i386 Version: 2.9g-6 Distribution: frozen unstable Urgency: low Maintainer: Vincent Renardias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: mount - Tools for mounting and manipulating filesystems. util-linux - Miscellaneous system utilities. Changes: util-linux (2.9g-6) frozen unstable; urgency=low . * modify mount.8 manpage to warn that nosuid is useless if something like suidperl is installed. (doesn't fix the critical bug #31980 reported on suidperl, but at least warn about its existance) * add missing manpages (ramsize,rootflags,swapdev) * #32414: changed a 'rm' into 'rm -f' so the source package builds cleanly. * also target the upload for frozen since this is the only missing package to be able to safely use kernels 2.2.x: To the FTP/Release maintainers: util-linux_2.9g has been introduced in unstable on Dec, 31st 98; so far I received no bug reports about it except for the missing manpages. Also compared to the 2.7.1 version from frozen, this package fixes _57_ bugs.
