Some of the m68k buildds (most macs) are still running 2.2.25, the two Atari Falcons run 2.4. The long term aim is indeed to release etch with only 2.6 kernels, which means no 2.4 but also no 2.2 kernel. Now, the removal of the 2.2 kernel should follow the same roadmap as what was discussed for the 2.4 kernels, and i suppose that for m68k purpose, you can substitute '2.4' with '2.2 or 2.4' in all those emails. There has been no DSA for a 2.2 kernel to date in the lifetime of woody/sarge (counting on my recollection here, I'm currently offline), so I can't see how we can continue shipping it unless someone steps up to handle this. Of course, you could always request insecure status from the release team (with proper release notes, etc). As far as I know, 2.2 isn't even supported by glibc any more. I've cc'd the glibc list for confirmation. If that is the case, we definitly shouldn't ship with 2.2. Also, anyone is free to open a kernel-2-2.debian.net repository kernel.debian.net has a repository that could be used for stuff like this. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've cc'd the glibc list for confirmation. glibc in etch needs at least a 2.4.1 kernel, except for m68k, for which the minimum version is 2.2.0. -- .''`.
