Where I'm working, we have Debian stable deployed on a number of boxes. For hardware support reasons, we've had to grab newer kernels from testing, and have been reasonably successful at not dragging in half of testing with them. We're going to want to upgrade everything to 2.4.23 ASAP, but I'd prefer not to drag in half of unstable with this upgrade. So, I was wondering how to go about taking the source package for 2.4.23-686 (and the SMP version) and backport them to stable? Is it as simple as taking the source package and building it in a stable pbuilder chroot, or is there more black magic involved with kernel packages? Thanks Andrew
