lenny updates
hey,
The first lenny update is scheduled for early April, so I wanted to
start coordinating the kernel update.
Security
--------
The lenny-security branch is currently caught up on security issues,
so I'd like to release a DSA later this week. I'd appreciate it if the
individual arch maintainers could test builds from this branch ahead
of time. The CVE-2009-0029 touch a lot of arch-specific code and
though they applied pretty easily to the lenny kernel, it'd still be
good to get some testing there. I noticed that the snapshot archive
now has a lenny-security dist for some archs (thanks waldi)
Stable
------
There are several fixes queued up for a stable upload. I have a
few more small fixes from jmm to review/commit as well, and it looks
like tbm has an RTC regression fix pending. I've seen mentions of
OpenVZ fixes from Ola/maks - what is the status of those? Are there
any other changes people are working on?
ABI changes
-----------
The security fixes don't currently break the ABI. It sounds like the
openvz fixes are ABI-breaking?. If it is going to be ready for this
update and does break the ABI, I'd also like to get the hppa
large-module fix in. And, of course, we'll need to notify the d-i team
of this change.
