the relevant sched options are set for 2.6.26, please checkout trunk

If this is the desire of Release Team, I have no problem on that.

I'd prefer to have it on experimental before upload it to unstable so
first and more urgent issues wouldn't bother us and users however this
is more up to you and RM team then me. My preference would be:

 - upload to experimental
 - wait for at least 5 days without issues
 - check for any possible building issues with new libc headers
 - upload to sid (since it has been proven more or less stable) 

When uploading to sid, I believe that meta packages should go together
so we do get a nice coverage on that.

After sometime on sid, I believe we ought to move d-i for it if it
looks to be a real option for lenny and try to release a first RC of
installer as soon as possible after that.

Thank you by coordinating it with us.

   Dear maintainers,

   any news on this issue? I see that you have uploaded 8 new kernel
packages since my original report, but each time you inadvertently
forgot to fix the bug :-(

   I am attaching a patch in order to help you in the task. It only
reactivates CONFIG_SECCOMP for the architectures used by cpushare in
order to reduce the induced bloat which I know you despise.

   Yes, I am perfectly aware that the fix adds a massive 274-byte
overhead to most kernels. I agree this is not acceptable. But this
time I thought of everything before I abused your precious time for my
selfish deeds! Attached is an additional patch that crops the boot-time
logo to 72x80 instead of 80x80 in order to spare up to *640 bytes* per
kernel image!! I noticed that penguins were mostly vertical animals,
so the logo has all these extra black pixels on the sides that can be
removed in order to create smaller, more efficient kernels. I believe
this kind of optimisation could benefit all Debian users.

   Let me know if I can be of further assistance, for instance by
preparing an NMU for you.

Best regards,

That's just adding an arbitrary 5 days delay.  Uploading to experimental
won't uncover new issues, because nobody uses packages in experimental.

Bug#490751: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686: proprietary NVIDIA module will not install

Hello,

I'm somewhat puzzled by this answer:

>*again*

1) Kernel 2.6.24 worked quite well for me without those xen options.

2) If you consider that essential for package:

   linux-image-2.6.25-2-686

   Why do we have this other package:

   linux-image-2.6.25-2-xen-686

   ??

   At least, I consider that misleading. What's the difference? 

   If there's a difference, I assume that if you liked any xen 
   options enabled, you would install the xen kernel image.

   Are those xen options in standard kernel required for compiling
   any other - new - feature?


Thanks.

On a slightly separate but related note, I'm uploading
user-mode-linux_2.6.25-2 now to fix a build error on x84_64.

Uml 2.6.25 is not in testing yet (my fault, didn't have time to get on
top of that recently) so I was wondering what are the plans for
linux-source-2.6.25.
Are you going to remove it from unstable and eventually realize the
"backup plan" via tpu uploads?

The current version in testing is unmaintainable as it build-depends on
linux-source-2.6.24 which is not available anymore and it doesn't make
any sense to realease it in lenny. On the other hand what is the
scenario if 2.6.25 goes missing in unstable while uml is not in testing
yet?
I hope I've been able to explain my worries...

PS: once uml 2.6.25 is in testing I'll be able to upload 2.6.26 to stay
in sync with the current kernel sources.

Uploading it to sid, will make a revertion to .25 much harder if
needed. Besides that, we'd need to know if it _at least_ builds on all
architectures and then be ready to upload meta packages...

As I said, this is more up to kernel team and release management team
then me but it is the safest option IMO.

No, it really would be a waste of time.  2.6.25 is already in testing, so
t-p-u is still there as an update path; but no one on the kernel side is
really considering 2.6.25 to be an option for lenny, and the sooner we get
2.6.26 into unstable the sooner we can get everything smoothed out for
lenny.

This bug has been reassigned from glibc back to the kernel.
Giuseppe, does this actually still happen with 2.6.26?
