This report covers the last two weeks since I didn't get one written
last week.
Done week 2:
- Updated d-i ia64 kernel udebs to new abiname and associated changes.
- Standard security work. Began tracking whether DSAs are fixed in sarge
at their time of release.
- Built x-10 power cycling contraption, added x-10 support to digress, and
added an alpha to my test network.
- A few alpha fixes to make it work on my test network.
- Made sure that the desktop task works with the fixed apt in unstable.
- Documented my whole d-i test setup so I can take it apart and put it
back together etc.
Done week 3:
- Standard security work (filing bugs, NMUing, sponsoring uploads,
tracking status, security report)
- Noticed several reports that LVM root was broken in the initrd-tools
initrd in sarge. Got this fixed.
- Tasksel updates to fix the Chinese tasks, and deal with some changes in
OpenOffice.
- Gathered info and made another report on the status of the kernel
abiname transition, which is the main blocker for d-i rc3.
- Began deciding which updated udebs to accept for rc3.
- Work on dropping 2.4 kernels for hppa.
- Made sure tht full debian CD #1 is still usable and all despite kernel,
gnome, and kde changes.
Plans for this week:
- Make sure that netinst CDs are right size with fixed debian-cd.
- Keep working on the kernel abi name change and security fixes in d-i.
- More plnning for d-i rc3.
- Keep working on sarge security.
- Thursday will be spent enroute to Oslo for the developers meeting, and I
return on the 31st.
- At the meeting, I plan to:
- Put some faces to names and meet old friends.
- See how an expert does a skolelinux install.
- Talk about things like 2.6 kernel support (and associated lvm issues),
partmn vs autopartkit, and sarge security.
- I'm sure things will develop that I've not anticipated.
