What's another D-I release... I really hope that 2.4 ABI will remain unchanged as we can then probably only rebuild the 2.6.8 kernel udebs, which I can massbuild myself. Rebuilding 2.4 would require individual builds by porters. Is the nature of the 2.4 security issues such that we can get away with not rebuilding it or are the so severe that we should? > A security update for etch is also about to release - it includes no > ABI change.

Yes, I was expecting that some time ago to be honest... For both, just let me (the list) know when the kernel packages are available in (sarge-)p-u and I'll do the necessary changes for D-I. I _will_ need some time for uploads and builds, so the SRMs should not count on being able to release quickly after the kernel packages are available. With these changes I'd like to also consider the following changes for D-I: - rebuild of choose-mirror for both sarge and etch to get latest mirror data - add support "oldstable" as suite in choose-mirror for sarge - backport the "resize ext3 partitions" support from trunk to etch Eventually I'd also like to ensure "oldstable lenny" support, but there's no real rush for that (yet :-) Comments? Cheers, FJP
