Hi Sven, your proposal regarding updating initrd-tools, initramfs-tools and yaird to allow them to be more sensibly called sounds fine to me. I can't speak on behalf of their repective maintainers, nor on behalf of the kernel-package maintainer, but it certainly seems worthy of coming up with some patches to test out. > Oh, and BTW, i vote for uploading 2.6.13-2 to unstable instead, or at least > -3 :) Please, lets get this initrd problem ironed out before shoving 2.6.13 into unstable. We have a 2.6.12 in there that works pretty well. And while it stays there we have a good way of slowly feeding changes into testing, while packaging 2.6.13 matures a bit more. I know that at this point you are going to say something like t-p-u, but frankly I don't think 2.6.13 is ready for unstable until we get the initrd problems straightened out a bit more. It was you who so strongly advocated using experimental in the first place. And if that was a good choice last week, I think it is still a good choice this week. We decided to go down that road, so we may as well stay on it for a bit longer. So I say, lets upload 2.6.13 (which will almost certainly have become 2.6.14) early next month, and keep smoothing out the initrd problems. I'll work on getting an interim 2.6.12 release out as per my mail to d-i and d-k just now. Ohh, and please, can we get 2.6.13 building on all architectures? That is a bit of an impediment to something that goes into unstable progresses into testing :-) On Sun, Oct 09, 2005 at 08:22:59PM +0200, Sven Luther wrote: > On Sun, Oct 09, 2005 at 02:15:18PM +0200, Sven Luther wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Ok, now that linux-2.6.13-1 has been uploaded to experimental, and despite > > the > > abysmal situation of the experimental autobuilders and ways to grab logs, > > it is time to finalize the story about the initrd stuff. > > Oh well, either nobody cares, or everyone agrees, so anyway, i will go ahead > and implement this plan during the next week.

This is a farily complicated problem, so lets take a measured approach to solving it. Many of the people are very busy right now. If you have time to help, that is awsome, but please work with the intersted parties. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
