Hi Rachita, I have packaged up kexec-tools and will upload it to debian shortly after I have done a final review on it. I have not picked up kdump patches. I will wait for Eric Biederman to integrate in his upstream release, at which point I will upload a newer version of kexec-tools to debian with kdump support. -- Khalid Aziz [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
