My employer will soon sponsor some work in this area, I hope I can get a step closer at addressing this bug then. -- mattia :wq > On 2016/09/15, at 7:09, Adrian Bunk <b...@stusta.de> wrote: > > Package: user-mode-linux > Version: 4.7-1um-1 > Severity: normal > > A separate source package for user-mode-linux made sense 15 years ago, > when a huge patch of non-upstreamed kernel code existed for user-mode-linux. > > What is left today in the user-mode-linux source package are 6 small > patches to UML-specific code (2 or 3 of them look Debian-specific) > and the kernel configurations for i386 and amd64. > > There doesn't seem to be any good reason left for a separate source > package, and this would also bring DSA fixes for stretch kernels > automatically to the user-mode-linux kernel. >
