The BIG question for me is: Should be move the libc6 kernel headers to the
2.0.34/35 kernel?
I have two problems with doin this now. It is very close to the release,
and I would hate to "break" major parts of the system if there is a down
side to moving to the new headers.
Brian, what do you think about this. Are we delivering 2.0.34 and 2.0.35
kernels? If we are, the current situation will result in several broken
packages. If we aren't it can wait til slink. It looks like we can loose
either way. The current situation has "known" problems, while the repaired
situation would have "unknown" ones.
Waiting is,
Dwarf
