I need to go through the BTS and see what else could go in. But what I have right now is listed at in the following Changelogs. http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/trunk/kernel/source/kernel-source-2.6.8-2.6.8/debian/changelog?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/trunk/kernel/i386/kernel-image-2.6.8-i386-2.6.8/debian/changelog?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/trunk/kernel-2.4/source/kernel-source-2.4.27-2.4.27/debian/changelog?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/trunk/kernel-2.4/i386/kernel-image-2.4.27-i386-2.4.27/debian/changelog?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 I am also trying to finalise some build fixes for the powerpc packages for 2.6.8. In particular, fixing the kernel-headers packages which are missing some files. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
