this diff seems a bit huge for a stable update.
I assume you mean a diff between 0.0.12-18 currently in Etch and
0.0.13-4 currently in Sid.
Agreed, this is too big.
Attached is a proposed patch with only patches directly related to
support for the newer Linux kernels.
also considering that lenny is about to be released.
This bugreport concerns Etch. Please keep your abandon-the-past approach
to the kernel-team - it does not apply here!
as yaird is considered to be working with default etch kernel, that bug
doesn't need any further action.
Yaird is (possibly contrary to other ramdisk-generators) not only for
"default" kernel, but generally for Linux kernels.
If our ultimate goal for yaird was to deprecate it, then yes, this bug
should better bit-rot, to help move all its users to use an alternative
ramdisk-generator. But that is not our goal.

Acknowledged. I see some different approaches to this: 1. Leave this bug open but do nothing about it. * This bug is not a security issue in itself * Security-related kernel updates can switch to initramfs-tools 2. Release 0.0.12-18+etch1 fixing only this specific issue * Security-updates must be minimal 3.

Drop yaird from etchnhalf * Yaird has been dropped from testing (see bug#457177) If we do 1) when should probably go through and etch-tag all other bugs fixed recently. If we do 3) then a single change must be made compared to current package in Sid: LVM workaround must be enabled by default. Cc'ing release team and security team for input. NB!

DSA 992-1 affecting other packages?
Hi, I noticed today on Debian Weekly News that FFMpeg has had a security-related bug. Are you aware that ffmpeg in Debian ships static libraries? If I understand correctly, this means other packages building against FFMpeg (Xine, GStreamer and VLC comes to my mind) actually contain a copy of the libavcodec library rather than linking to it dynamically - and must then also all of them be rebuilt, pulling in the security-fixed library. The reason for the static linking, I believe, is that FFMpeg upstream has recommended to use static linking due to the ABI (or is it API) not yet stable. I suspect, however, that this could be dealt with differently for Debian (and I suspect this to be against policy, but is incapable technically to take up an argument about that). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm pgp5ZkNw4vq2E.pgp Description: PGP signature
