Squeeze point release (6.0.5)
Hi, 6.0.5 is somewhat overdue now and I've been procrastinating over organising it for a while. So before I find something else to distract myself with, some suggested dates: May 5/6: Probably doable; would mean we need to close p-u-NEW over the coming weekend. May 12/13: York BSP. Probably not the best time for CDs, given that Steve would be at the wrong end of the country. (As will I, but that's less of an issue) May 19/20: May 26/27: Thoughts / comments?

Re: Squeeze point release (6.0.5)
I think we're going to need to do another kernel upload before the point release to revert a fix that is worse than the original bug: > Subject: Revert "autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64" > > This reverts commit 82e43e2a64739caf323ac98641e1250c3808c300 > (commit a32744d4abae24572eff7269bc17895c41bd0085 upstream). > > The original bug (#633423) is 6 years old and autofs has a workaround > for it which is broken by this fix. systemd doesn't have the > workaround, but it also isn't in squeeze. This affects only autofs:i386 on an amd64 kernel. So this shouldn't be a blocker for the installer.

That bug's marked as found in 2.6.32-44, which I assume is the not-yet-released version you were planning on including in the point release? Is the new version ready for upload? It's looking like the point release will be the 12/13th, so it would be good to have everything ready in p-u by next weekend.

I think it's ready, though there may be some security fixes we should throw in as well. Dann?

As far as I can see there aren't any changes on d-i's squeeze branch, so I guess we could just binNMU d-i once lkdi-* are sorted? (and then do dini.)
