Hi,

I always install my kernel-sources by hand, but out of curiosity, could I 
get this by means of apt?

# apt-cache search kernel-source
kernel-source-2.2.22 - Linux kernel source for version 2.2.22
kernel-source-2.4.10 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.10
kernel-source-2.4.14 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.14
kernel-source-2.4.16 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.16
kernel-source-2.4.17 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17
kernel-source-2.4.17-hppa - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 on HPPA
kernel-source-2.4.17-ia64 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 on IA-64
kernel-source-2.4.18 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.18
kernel-source-2.4.18-hppa - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.18 on HPPA
freeswan - IPSEC utilities for FreeSWan

Why ist the above mentioned package not listed in apt-cache?

If I would  apt-get install some-available-debian-kernel-source-package, 
would this imply any security patches or just the unpatched stock 
kernel-sources? The output of apt-cache, doesn't indicate this.


Ciao
