This 2.6.11.x series is a mess.
I thought that series was looking quite good myself.
The -as branch is still following 2.6.10. Grsecurity is patching against 2.6.11 mainline. 2.6.11.3 is the latest,
The differences between 2.6.11 mainline and 2.6.11.x shouldn't be too big, but then I don't know how big the grsecurity patch is so can't comment (and have no experience on) how often conflicts may occur between the two.
And lfs-unstable is still suggesting we use the security fix for the capabilities module, which is only partially fixed in 2.6.11.3.
Actually, that text got removed today as we didn't think the patch was required.
I also noticed glibc's testsuite has a couple test failures because of changed in 2.6.11 kernel and headers. This issue was reported to libc-hackers over a month ago and has yet to be resolved.
Why am I not surprised :(
2.6.11.0 headers also breaks iptables build. Hopefully the linux-libc-headers folks will fix that soon.
Ouch. The linux-libc-headers maintainer is pretty quick to sort stuff out, assuming someone has reported the breakage to him.
