Security fix and 2.4.24 pseudo -benh packets.



Hello,

I have built security unstable packages (2.4.22-10 currently in the
archive) for the latest security issue. testing user should get those in
2 or 3 days, but can in the meantime install them with :

  apt-get install -t unstable.

Furthermore, i have rebuilt the 2.4.24 packages, which include the
security fix. As Herbert was not able to provide me fixed 2.4.24
kernel-source packages, i was forced to add the security fix to the
powerpc diff, so it will probably not build anymore once Herbert add the
fix to his package. It is still in the NEW queue, but i have made it
available at :

  deb http://people.debian.org/~luther/powerpc/2.4.24-1 ./

Notice that there were previous 2.4.24-1 and 2.4.24-2 packages
available, but since i forgot to copy the GPL licence to the
kernel-build packages, they were rejected, so i toke the oportunity to
reset the debian version. Please make sure you downgrade the packages if
you had already 2.4.24-1 or 2.4.24-2 installed.

Furthermore, 2.4.25 is released, and i will package this one as soon as
Herbert provide kernel-source packages for it.

Also, like said, the 2.4.24 (and future 2.4.25 and 2.6.3) packages are
now based on the -benh tree, and i would like to have feedback of old
-benh kernel users with those. It shouldn't change a thing for the
people who used the linuxppc kernels previously.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
