Here's my understanding of the current status of that: Update again, it's now been about 1 month since my first mail. alpha Kernel updated, but not yet in testing; udebs not yet updated (I thought they were before, but was wrong). amd64 Updated, but I'm not tracking this arch. arm No abiname; not updated. [At the moment this is one of the arches that I'd consider releasing d-i rc3 without it being updated for the kernel security fixes, since it has no abiname, and since the daily builds have been down since October.] hppa 2.4 now updated, but we dropped it. 2.6 has abiname; still not updated, update is in kernel team svn. [This is likely to block d-i rc3 until the new hppa 2.6 kernels with the new abiname are available.] i386 2.4 and 2.6 updated to -2 abiname; debs in testing; udebs updated. ia64 2.4 and 2.6 updated to -2 abiname; debs in testing; udebs updated. m68k No abiname; debs updated and in testing (for 2.4; dunno about 2.2); udebs updated. mips No abiname. Kernel updated and in testing; udebs updated. mipsel No abiname. Kernel updated and in testing; udebs updated. powerpc No abiname. 2.4 not updated. 2.6 updated, debs in testing; udebs updated. [If powerpc 2.4 is not updated with the security fixes soon, I will probably not let it block a d-i rc3 release.] s390 Just fixed; debs not yet in testing; udebs updated. sparc 2.6 updated to -2 abiname; 2.4 not updated (except in svn); 2.6 debs not yet in testing (due to RC #288180); udebs updated. [This is likely to block d-i rc3 until the new sparc 2.4 kernels with the new abiname are available.] So hppa and sparc are the only remaining blockers from the debian-kernel side for the d-i release, though powerpc 2.4 and arm also still really need updates. And on the d-i side we still need to update the alpha udebs, update rootskel and base-installer and the build system to use the new abinames where appropriate, update debian-cd, and make sure it all works. -- see shy jo
