... had no outstanding secuirty issues. 

I just noticed CAN-2005-1263, otherwise known as Bug #308724 and #308634
I will work on getting this into SVN asap. I believe it applies
to both 2.4.27 and 2.6.8, although I have not investigated.

There is also a quite severe problem with the header packages
on powerpc, Sven Luther is working on a fix for this. When I say
severe, I understand that they are completely broken.
I think this applies to both 2.4.27 and 2.6.8. See Bug #308639.
