Hi all, There is a nice debate ongoing on the mailinglist [1] on the topic of grsecurity's recent decision to no longer provide the test patches to the public. I'd like to keep the debate on the rationale of it in that discussion, but focus here on what we, from Gentoo Hardened, now need to do or which direction we're going to move forward with.
[1] https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-hardened/message/a06145056b167f52c079bffd9c9a51ac The obvious step is indeed to stop further *current* development on hardened-sources. I don't know how many additional patchsets are being implemented in it (blueness? Zorry?) so I don't know if it means that hardened-sources in total is done with or not. >From the online discussions I also hear that we shouldn't be referring to grsecurity anymore (even when it was still the test patches). This means that we need to update our wiki articles, as well as include a note that the document is only valid until a certain time (I don't want to remove them, for those users that still have older versions running and want to find the documentation on it). Now, I mentioned *current* development. Are there other improvements that we can look at which make sense to put into hardened-sources, and are there volunteers to help out with it? Wkr, Sven Vermeulen
