For 2.4, this requires i2c, kernel-latest-2.4-i386, linux-wlan-ng, lm-sensors, and oprofile-source to be ready to go at the same time with packages built against the new ABI. Of these, oprofile-source has had a recent upload, but has only out-of-date modules (none built against the new ABI); i2c has new module packages, all of them with the old ABI version in the package name and with dependencies on the old kernels; and kernel-latest-2.4-i386 appears to be in the court of the kernel team. No info on the others. Is someone on the kernel team willing to coordinate with the maintainers of those packages? 2.6 needs out-of-date binaries removed for the old ABI. > ia64 > Now same as i386.
