Re: linux-2.6: Please export symbols for aufs2 (or unionfs2).



There is a big problem with the current linux-modules-extra-2.6 package,
which is that the resulting binary packages are related to their source
only by build-dependency, and this does not ensure that corresponding
source and binary packages are kept released together.  The FTP team had
to spend a long time making sure this happened for lenny and is not
prepared to do so again.  Therefore, linux-modules-extra-2.6 will be
removed and not included in squeeze.

Those modules that may be needed at installation time will be added to
the linux-2.6 package, and the aufs2 module is clearly among those.  I
have added the patches from the aufs2-standalone repository here:

svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-2.6/debian/patches/features/all/aufs2/

Based on my judgement of the quality of the aufs2 code and the lack of
broad review, I have also added a patch to mark the module as 'staging'.

Please let the kernel team know whenever aufs2 needs to be updated.

Ben.
