Please keep linux-2.6 up-to-date in backports [..]
Hello debian kernel maintainers,
I've created a private backport of kernel 3.1.8 from testing for i386/amd64.
The packages I considered are:
linux-image-amd64
linux-image-i386-686-pae
linux-image-i386-486
linux-headers-all (and common)
linux-kbuild-3.1 (linux-tools)
cpufrequtils (007-2)
A separate build-container for each architecture was used to be sure,
that there are only stable packages installed. I reverted the compiler
back to gcc 4.4. Cpufrequtils is needed for newer kernels to have the
cpufreq modules work properly.
Tested (positiv):
amd64-pkg+headers in my virtual box squeeze installation (some clicks,
some apps, lxc-cgroups, some compiles - so far no problems)
and i386-486 on my thinkpad x40 (not PAE capable, tested some browsing,
rootfs on crypt device and a few apps - no probs so far).
The tests included the headers (compiling vbox host module and vbox
guest extensions) and cpufrequtils.
Now that I finished with building up

linux-tools_3.1.1-3~bpo60+1.dsc
linux-tools_3.1.1-3~bpo60+1_(i386|amd64).changes
linux-tools_3.1.1.orig.tar.gz
linux-tools-3.1_3.1.1-3~bpo60+1_(i386|amd64).deb
I wonder, if someone else like to participate in my "private"
backporting efforts. I could provide all generated files (.diffs and
.debs) if someone with a DD-trusted key likes to compile and upload
linux-image-3.1.8+supplements.
It's unclear if gcc 4.4 is acceptable for a backport (original from
wheezy takes 4.6 - so there may arise problems just because of the
different compiler version while kernel version remains identical).
Regards,
Marcus
