Heads-up: release goal affects kernel udebs
From the announcement to d-a today:
| * Discard and rebuild of binary packages uploaded by maintainers,
| leaving only packages build in a controlled environment
The team may want to request an exception for this for kernel udebs.
Although kernel udebs built with mass-build should in theory build
correctly when rebuilt "normally", there are two reasons why we might not
want that:
- massbuild allows us to control *exactly* which kernel version the udebs
are build against which helps avoid out-of-sync problems; if they would
be rebuilt on a buildd, we'd lose some of the control we currently have.
- massbuild allows us to built against kernels that are not yet or no
longer available in unstable, which has been very useful in the past.
Note that I do not plan to follow up on this myself.
Cheers,
FJP
