Package: linux-patch-skas Version: 3-2 Severity: normal Hi,
Since kernel 2.6.13, UML implements something called SKAS0 which provides separate kernel address space without a need to patch the kernel. See for example: http://lwn.net/Articles/142494/ My question is whether this separate patch is then still useful. I can imagine two answers: 1) Yes, it provides some benefit over skas0. In that case my bug is that the package description should make it clear that there's no need to patch the kernel for most of the features (skas0) and what extra this patch brings. 2) No, in which case the package may be removed from Debian. BTW, the kernel-patch-skas dummy package can be removed already since it was transitional for etch. thanks, Thijs -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
