Why wouldn't we accept stable kernel updates in point releases? We always have in the past, haven't we? Potato has 2.2.19, which was released 25th March 2001, well after 2.2r0 in August 2000, eg...

Stable point releases have _nothing_ to do with dists/testing, they're completely separate. Nothing's changed here at all -- you just need to tweak CVS to your satisfaction, update other packages in proposed-updates to your satisfaction, tell -boot and -testing that there are new boot-floppies available somewhere, then, if that works out okay, upload them to proposed-updates. > 2.4.19 also requires an update of modutils If that's the case then we should be updating modutils anyway, since it's entirely reasonable for woody users to want to run the latest stable kernel version. (Looking at the modutils README, I can't see anything between 2.4.15 and 2.4.20 that's particularly crucial though) Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
