[Pkg-uml-devel] 2.6.16 ready for upload

[Mattia Dongili]

Hello,

I put some efforts on user-mode-linux to push 2.6.16 as currently 2.6.15
is not in sid anymore and the u-m-l package is not buildable from
source.
I'm uploading the package to gluck (ETA: 15 min), if nothing else arises
I'll ftp this same package to ftp-master by wednesday. If somebody wants
to test, my repository is

deb http://people.debian.org/~malattia/debian binary/
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~malattia/debian source/

Main changes are:
    * added myself to the uploaders
    * fixed dependency on module-init-tools for kernel 2.6
    * using dpatch to apply patches, current patches are:
      - 01_uml_net
      - 02_x-terminal-emulator
    * updated config for 2.6.16
    * installing uml defconfig as a reference
    * converted lots of stuff to modular build
    * updated manpage for the linux executable

There's still a lintian warning left (man -l doesn't like some lines).

Any comment on the CONFIG_*=y to CONFIG_*=m ?? Most of the features we
compiled in are pretty useless and modules loading works well. If needed
we can restore the old config.

Stefano: any progression uml_utilities?
I'd like to push newer uml_utilities ahead (20060323 is available), I'm
available for help.

Andreas: the SVN repository is now ready, could you convert mdz's cvs
repo? (I'm available to do it myself if you could provide the cvs dirs).

:)

bye
