The Debian kernel Team met in Paris during the Paris mini-Debconf, as we did last year in Portland at Linux Plumbers 2009. Not only did we release 2.6.32-27 "We'll Always Have Paris". A short summary of this productive meeting is: * No virtualisation feature images for Wheezy: KVM, Linux Containers and Xen are all to be in default linux-2.6. * We decided to finally use git immediately after the Squeeze release. * `make deb-pkg' sees further uptake and will see further enhancements. * We appeal for an interested maintainer to have RT images in Debian. * External intrusive patches such as Fedora's NX emulation will not be accepted before they go upstream. * No additional LSM module without built in cost reduction. * Investigation of automated testing: There is a need for a Debian infrastructure for automatic linux-2.6 build and boot testing. * Work needed for better d-i (Debian Installer) linux-2.6 module generation. * Work needed to debloat current full image to a sensible default. * initramfs-tools has stable MODULES=dep for squeeze. klibc ipconfig has fixes for large cluster netbooting. * Almost all of Debian patches are upstream in 2.6.37. Only minor stuff needs upstreaming. The long story can be found here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2010/11/msg00215.html happy hacking -- maks
