Hi, I have just uploaded a first batch of packages for an update of Debian Installer in oldstable. Kernel udeb updates for 2.6 based on the upload by Dann to oldstable: - linux-kernel-di-hppa-2.6_1.1sarge3_source+hppa.changes - linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6_1.02sarge5_source+i386.changes - linux-kernel-di-ia64-2.6_1.1sarge3_source+ia64.changes - linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6_0.78sarge3_source+powerpc.changes - linux-kernel-di-sparc-2.6_0.05sarge3_source+sparc.changes Changes needed because of the kernel ABI change: - rootskel_1.10.3sarge1_i386.changes - base-installer_1.13.4sarge3_i386.changes Changes needed to properly support installing "oldstable" - choose-mirror_1.07sarge1_i386.changes - cdrom-detect_1.05sarge1_i386.changes - iso-scan_1.04sarge1_i386.changes - base-config_2.53.10.3_i386.changes Note that the debdiffs of these are fairly large because supporting oldstable also meant that some strings and thus translations had to be updated. Some other, relatively minor, pending changes I feel are worth including: - partman-jfs_13sarge1_i386.changes Fix syntax error in script. - prebaseconfig_1.07sarge1_i386.changes Security issue that was previously worked around in other packages. Please get these udebs accepted and built. The kernel udebs will need NEW processing. Note that there is more work to be done for the installer after this: - the kernel update for m68k was missing and could thus not yet be updated - after all udebs are in os-p-u, I will still need to build and upload D-I itself and that will need BYHAND processing and some testing Cheers, FJP
