GNU/kFreeBSD and the new Debian kernel naming scheme



Hi fellow developers,

I just want to let you know that the GNU/kFreeBSD port has finished the transition to the new Debian kernel naming scheme. We now have one source package, kfreebsd-5 which is in unstable and which produces the following binary packages:
 - kfreebsd-image-5.3-1 (binary-all)        The kernel binaries
 - kfreebsd-headers-5.3-1 (kfreebsd-i386)   The headers to build modules
 - kfreebsd-source-5.3 (kfreebsd-i386)      The kernel source

The new kfreebsd-source-5.3 package does not provide anymore kernel-source as it was the case with the old package kfreebsd5-source, but rather kfreebsd-source, and thus the linux users won't be annoyed anymore with apt-get recommending to install kfreebsd-source when installing a linux kernel related package.

Cheers,
Aurelien
