This way volatile will be able to build the packages without going outside stable and stable-proposed-updates, and since volatile will be auto-built, it is the best place for such packages if we don't want to target those 2.6.12 kernels at s-p-u themselves, which we probably don't want to do. We could do it if the stable and stable-security team worked hand in hand with the kernel team, and if the kernel team was ready to do sarge security stuff for both 2.6.8 and the newer kernels, since i don't think we can purely and simply remove the 2.6.8 packages from sarge :) I also don't think how post-2.6.12 packages would be possible, unless we reenable devfs on them or backport initramfs or something such.

Not sure if that one is auto-built, or even easily accessible from the user stand-point. Maybe this is one of the things we need to discuss in oldenbourg with Joey ?

You will find all that is needed at : http://people.debian.org/~luther/kernel or the apt source : deb http://people.debian.org/~luther/kernel ./ These packages include : 1) backported kernel-package, to be able to build the powerpc 2.6.12 kernels. 2) backported udev, which is needed for 2.6.12 and beyond kernels. I disabled the selinux support though, as it is not present in sarge. 3) backported 32bit powerpc kernel packages. These are exactly the same as the sid/etch ones (2.6.12-6), but i was forced to disable the 64bit powerpc64 version, since there is no biarch toolchain in sarge. That said, installing the sid/etch kernels would have worked just fine, so if you are a 64bit user, please download linux-image-2.6-12-powerpc64 from etch/sid by hand. Ok, i hope you all enjoy those. I am currently doing a build of these on i386, and will make them available when they are ready, hopefully in the next few hours. One thing I am wondering is if it makes sense to make the kernel-package build dependancy as follows, as it would allow the package to be built on a vanilla sarge for non-powerpc arches. kernel-package (= 8.135) [!powerpc] | kernel-package (= 8.135.sarge1) [powerpc] N.B: I'm not sure if thats even legal, though it does seem to work.
