Package: debian-reference Severity: normal Section 7.1 reads "The use of gcc, binutils, and modutils from Debian unstable may help when compiling the latest Linux kernel." I'm not a kernel compilation expert myself, but I don't see how that would help, at least more than with some random package. Also, the section's title talks about "recompilation", not compiling the latest version. Note that modutils is now basically obsoleted by module-init-tools.
Also, I'm not sure where you got Manoj's quote, but if it's a reformulation of the changelog entry, it seems to be taken out of context. Changelog entries have to be short and sweet, so stating that Manoj was confused for that may be unfair. mkinitrd is also obsolete, although not as much as modutils yet. The entire 7.1 section should be reviewed or removed. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
