Bug#449272: linux-2.6: stop this farce, please
Hi, FWIW I have packages ready with both the new juju stack and the old stack enabled. Then you only need to blacklist one or the other, but you have the option to choose, without recompiling, so you basically can stay with the Debian kernels. linux-2.6 (2.6.24-5~holger+1) unstable; urgency=low * re-enable the old firewire stack as modules. (Workaround for: #436267, #449272, #450836, #441206, #441179, #435224, #435062, #434551) You need to blacklist either the old or the new stack, see http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration for why and howto. -- Holger Levsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:21:10 +0100 Is the relevant changelog entry (and the rest of the diff is posted below). I plan to provide them in a private repository (for amd64, i386, powerpc and sources) until this has been fixed in sid from a kernel user point of view (that is, either juju is working in sid/lenny or the old stack is enabled in the kernel) - by providing updated packages whenever there is a new one in sid. I'll setup this repository tomorrow or on the weekend and post some more explainations. (Like, I have discussed/announced this plan to both waldi and maks and what I think about their replies.. (waldi basically just said this is maks area.)) regards, Holger (who also needed this to be able to work on FOSDEM videos, where I honestly wasnt interested in getting the kernel to work, but to get those videos processed.) --- linux-2.6-2.6.24/debian/config/config 2008-03-06 12:32:17.0 +0100 +++ linux-2.6-2.6.24~holger/config 2008-03-05 15:44:46.0 +0100 @@ -836,7 +836,30 @@ CONFIG_FIREWIRE=m CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI=m CONFIG_FIREWIRE_SBP2=m -# CONFIG_IEEE1394 is not set +CONFIG_IEEE1394=m + +# +# Subsystem Options +# +# CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is not set + +# +# Controllers +# +CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX=m +CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394=m + +# +# Protocols +# +CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394=m +CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2=m +# CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA is not set +CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394_ROM_ENTRY=y +CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394=m +CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394=m +CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m + CONFIG_I2O_LCT_NOTIFY_ON_CHANGES=y CONFIG_I2O_EXT_ADAPTEC=y CONFIG_I2O_EXT_ADAPTEC_DMA64=y # # Debian toplevel config # CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG=y # CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ILOG2_U32 is not set # # General setup # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT=32 CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="" # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set CONFIG_SWAP=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3=y CONFIG_TASKSTATS=y CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y CONFIG_TASK_XACCT=y CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING=y # CONFIG_USER_NS is not set # CONFIG_PID_NS is not set CONFIG_AUDIT=y CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y # CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set # TODO: too large for small systems?

Removing 2.4 is not a etch release goal as defined by the release managers.

Kernel 2.4 for etch or not
Hi, * This is a blog entry I wanted to write for about six weeks now, but I was busy with other stuff. In December 2005 I got curious why 2.4.32 wasn't packaged for Debian and investigated the situation a bit. There are several reasons why 2.4 is still interesting: - Kernel 2.6 is still a moving target... - Some hardware is only supported with 2.4, for example older laptops which need APM and don't work with ACPI. Also some non-i386 machines. - According to popcon, 6-7% of the i386 users have a kernel-2.4 image installed. * Unfortunatly, nobody from the kernel team is really interested in working on 2.4 anymore. They do security fixes for the 2.4 kernels in woody and sarge, for which I'm very thankful, but that's about it. Even though 2.4 is moving very slowly nowadays (mostly security updates, very seldom new drivers are including), this is more work than needed, because every fix needs to be backported to 2.4.27 (and 2.4.18 for woody). * Of course there are some issues which need to be taken into consideration when thinking about whether it's worthwhile to have 2.4.3x in Etch: - it needs gcc-3.3 to compile, gcc-4.0 won't work. Period. So gcc-3.4 also needs to supported during etch's lifetime - which will be something like 2009 when etch+1 will become oldstable (by current release cycles)... - it's not sensible to have powerpc and amd64 flavors, and probably others. So this kernel package will not be arch any. (Which is not really a problem, but unusual.) - Both kernel 2.4 and 2.6 contain non-free firmware and drivers. I seriously doubt people want to deal with this issue and solve it for 2.4. For 2.6 it will be done, but for 2.4 ? As I see it, this is the biggest showstopper for 2.4 in etch, I would be happy to be proven wrong. As a starting point, you can look at this [1 investigation] by Bill Allombert about the the situation in 2.4.25. Removing those files would be an option, but maybe we can also "borrow a better solution" from 2.6...?! - if 2.4.32 or .33 shall be used in d-i/g-i, work on this integration needs to be started real soon now. I have done some work on creating a linux-2.4.32 package which is based on the new kernel packaging. I got busy with videos for debconf-es2, so I didn't finish and commit this. Horms made a [2 presentation] about the kernel packaging in debian for LCA and gave two options: a.) support and backport fixes for 2.4.27 or b.) go with 2.4.32. Somehow he did not consider the option of dropping 2.4 even if he calls it legacy ;-) Besides technical reasons (security fixes handled by upstream, some driver updates and very few new ones) I think we should not forget that most people have no idea that 2.4.27 in debian is far closer to 2.4.32 than to .27, and therefore will think debian ships an outdated 2.4 kernel. So I think we should simply go for 2.4.3x, if it is sensible to support 2.4 in etch at all. It "just" needs to be done, and I volunteer to do it (with the help of the kernel team, the porters and anybody else who wants to join), if this work will not be in vain. Please send comments to the [3 debian-kernel-mailinglist], where I posted this blog entry before.

Moritz Mühlenhoff wrote: "According to a linux-kernel posting by Marcelo Tosatti a few weeks ago 2.4 is now in strict maintenance mode, with only critical bug fixes being allowed." So I have the following idea regarding security support for 2.4 in etch: - make 2.6 the default for new installs but provide 2.4 for those who want it - issue a fat warning in the release notes, that security support for the 2.4 kernel packages will be special+different for etch: the 2.4-packages wont be updated, instead newer versions will be packaged, which will provide the upstream security fixes. (So instead of porting the changes from 2.4.34 to the 2.4.33 sources, we'll release a 2.4.34 package in stable-updates.) I'm curious to hear your opinions on that. (Another option would be to package 2.4.34 as 2.4.33, but I think this more ugly...) > - it's not sensible to have powerpc and amd64 flavors, and probably > others.

As said, I would try (and think I'll succeed), but when people advise me to ask others for advise, I usually listen :) So, release-managers please speak up on this issue. (The complete thread started at http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2006/01/msg00742.html) As I see it, there is some cost and some benefit in having 2.4 in etch (and nobody is really able to tell which is higher). And the biggest problem (as in cost/work), would be security support, which IMO could be dealt with as described above (if the security team approves this exceptional handling), which would keep the amount of work required on a sane level. (And which I also volunteer to do/help with.) I dont wanna push this just because I want to maintain the 2.4 kernels (rather I want 2.4 kernels in etch because I prefer rock-solid kernel and systems.) IMHO some users would be happy about a official & uptodate 2.4 kernel in etch, "that's all". If my todo-lists were smaller, I would probably just work on that package, upload it (somewhere) and start a discussion then.

Bug#403041: breaks crypto setup
package: usplash severity: important version: 0.3e tags: security Hi, I recently installed usplash on powerpc, together with a crypted partition using dm-crypt. Usplash doesn't give me a prompt to enter the passphrase (which I just filed a wishlist bug about), but whats much worse, when I manually switch to the text console and enter the passphrase, it is shown in clear on the screen and doesnt work. When switching to the text console before the passphrase is prompted, it works. I filed this bug as important because of these two issues together: it breaks functionality and additional has the potential to leak a probably very complicated passphrase. If it just wouldn't work, I would have used normal severity. regards, Holger P.S.: I'm sorry to be so unspecific, I've done this install more than two weeks ago and forgot to file the bugreport. pgpE9jLSGYnRa.pgp Description: PGP signature

Me too thinks not fixing this bug in stable is a violation of the social contract: "..our priorities are our users and free software...", not free software alone.

removal doesnt seem an option atm, or?
Hi, today there are still two packages depending on kernel-package, cdfs-src and linux-2.6. dphys-kernel-packages has beem removed from sid and lenny. cdfs-src suffers from #482075, so it might be a removal candidate too. linux-2.6 build-depends on kernel-package (>= 10.063). If the code still uses kernel-package, and I have no reason to not believe the control file, removal of kernel-package is not really an option at this time. So far I think/thought this bug (#475036) should be tagged lenny-ignore but on a 2nd read of it, I'm not so sure anymore: kernel-package has users who like it and rely on it, but yet it's broken on recent kernels... regards, Holger pgpuf5LMPWCbd.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#463860: any chance to see this fixed in .26 in lenny?
found 463860 2.6.26-2 thanks Hi, yesterday I've upgraded a friends laptop to lenny and 2.6.26-2 showed exactly these symptons, device was there, but scanning showed now networks. Upgrading to 2.6.29 solved the issue but it feels pretty bad that many users are left in the cold with the default lenny kernel which else would work nicely for them. Is there any chance to get this fixed in .26 in lenny or are the televant changes to big ? regards, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

There is no attempt "from Debian". The current lilo maintainer thought this was the best option for lilo as he was going to orphan it and also because there was no upstream. If you step up to maintain lilo (and the codebase is and stays acceptable) and maintain lilo in Debian, removing lilo is moot. > Keep in mind that I have never been a Debian package maintainer before.

Bug#587887: linux-base: please suppress useless debconf messages on first install
package: linux-base
version: 2.6.32-15
severity: wishlist
tags: patch
Hi,
first of all: thank you all for maintaining linux-2.6 - you're doing an
awesome job!
hi. i'm using .32.bpo on lenny, together with linux-base. so far so
good, works great. but i have an issue with automated installs (with d-i and
preseeding): linux-base informs me that /etc/fstab contains an entry
(/etc/scd0 iirc) which might not work in future versions. i couldnt care less
and would like to get rid of this warning,as it prevents fully automated
installations
h01ger: I put a heuristic in there to work out whether this is a fresh
installation or upgrade
h01ger: Maybe you can suggest how to improve it
(the problem is that linux-base did not exist in lenny, so we cannot
check whether the package itself is being upgraded)
Of course you should also be able to preseed the answer
i tried, using what debconf-get-selections |grep linux-base gave me
after an installation, but that didnt work
weird

Well, first I'm fairly very sure that even etch also created /var/log/installer... in that sense I dont think it matters, if you automatically install sarge with a 2.6.32.bpo kernel and get those warnings... cause I doubt anyone does that, thus I think those are not relevant. cheers, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Do you ment that the cursor movement was slow while booting, or after booting? cc:ing the kernel list still, as I would have reassigned the bug to them if there was more info, maybe they have something useful to add... regards, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Bug#498627: Confirmed using vanilla 2.6.26.5

Bug#500784: please set CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL=y
package: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 severity: wishlist version: 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.5 x-debbugs-cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, please set CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL=y (this needs CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL=y too) for the etchnhalf packages. It's needed to make mounting cifs volumes with kerberos tickets work. (And it's set in sid+lenny.) (Actually its only one part. a newer samba is also needed, but its way easier/less work to maintain a samba backport than a different kernel :) regards, Holger P.S.: cc:ing dannf as suggested by maks, not setting the severity to important as also suggested, even though for me it is ;-) pgpUcDqIoBNzs.pgp Description: PGP signature

Also please make the bugs blocked by http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=449235 - which I think is invalid and about which I'm in communication with intel to get the clarification about this stupid refusal of the firmware-nonfree maintainers to include those firmwares. (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=449235#33 claims that someone read the licence as undistributable in non-free because the licence could mean that the licence needs to be available _in_the_download_directory_next_to_the_firmware. The way I read the licence is that its fine if the licence is part inside the package and upon _installation_ the licence is placed in the same directory as the firmware file. (And in /usr/share/doc/ipw2x00-fireware _and_ displayed to the user at installation time and asked for acception.)) regards, Holger pgpHcyrkl39N7.pgp Description: PGP signature
