linux-2.6 (2.6.12-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * The Kernel Team offers its condolences to the family of Jens Schmalzing
    (jensen@debian), who died Saturday, July 30, 2005 in a tragic accident in
    Munich.  Jens was a member of the Kernel Team, and was instrumental in
    taking the powerpc kernel package to 2.6, as well as maintaining MOL
    and its kernel modules.

  * Add @longclass@ variable to control file autogeneration. (Andres Salomon)

  * Bump build-depends on kernel-package to a fixed version (>= 9.005).
    (Jurij Smakov, Sven Luther) (closes: #319657, #320422, #321625)

  * Change default ramdisk size for sparc to 16,384K to accomodate a fatter
    d-i initrd for netboot installs.
    (Joshua Kwan)

  * Don't build-depend on console-tools on s390. (Bastian Blank)

  * Add ARM support. (Vincent Sanders)

  * Add ia64 descriptions. (dann frazier)

  * Strip down the scripts dir in the headers packages. (Bastian Blank)

  * Add m68k support. (Christian T. Steigies)

  * Added 2.6.12.4 (Frederik Schüler)
    - Fix powernow oops on dual-core athlon
    - Fix early vlan adding leads to not functional device
    - sys_get_thread_area does not clear the returned argument
    - bio_clone fix
    - Fix possible overflow of sock->sk_policy (CAN-2005-2456)
      (closes: #321401)
    - Wait until all references to ip_conntrack_untracked are dropped on
      unload
    - Fix potential memory corruption in NAT code (aka memory NAT)
    - Fix deadlock in ip6_queue
    - Fix signedness issues in net/core/filter.c
    - x86_64 memleak from malicious 32bit elf program

    - kbuild: build TAGS problem with O=

  * Enable CONFIG_6PACK=m for all archs (Andres Salomon)
    (closes: #319646)

  * Overhaul the generation of the control file. Now it is handled
    by debian/bin/gencontrol.py. The debian/control target in rules
    also fails now, since we don't want the control file generated
    during build. Arch-specific Depends and suggests are now generated
    correctly. (Bastian Blank) (Closes: #319896)

  * [powerpc] Fixed typo which made asm-ppc and asm-ppc64 not being included
    in the header package. (Sven Luther) (Closes: #320817)

  * Premiere of the common-source kernel package
    (Jurij Smakov, Andres Salomon)
    - build all architectures out of kernel source package
    - rename source and binary packages
    - create a common config for different architectures, and management
      tools to allow for easier modification of config options
    - drop default configs, autogenerate them instead; requires
      kernel-package >= 9.002.

  * Add 2.6.12.1 (Maximilian Attems)
    - Clean up subthread exec (CAN-2005-1913)
    - ia64 ptrace + sigrestore_context (CAN-2005-1761)

  * Add 2.6.12.2 (Frederik Schüler)
    - Fix two socket hashing bugs.
    -  ACPI: Make sure we call acpi_register_gsi() even for default PCI
       interrupt assignment
    - Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friends
    - e1000: fix spinlock bug
    - fix remap_pte_range BUG
    - Fix typo in drivers/pci/pci-driver.c

  * Add 2.6.12.3 (Joshua Kwan)
    - Fix semaphore handling in __unregister_chrdev
    - Fix TT mode in UML.
    - Check for a null return in tty_ldisc_ref.
    - v4l: cx88 hue offset fix
    - Fix 8139cp breakage that occurs with tpm driver.
    - Fix the 6pack driver in SMP environments.
    - Switch to spinlocks in the shaper driver.
    - ppc32: stop misusing NTP's time_offset value
    - netfilter: go back to dropping conntrack references manually
    - ACPI: don't accept 0 as a PCI IRQ.

  * Enable CONFIG_SCSI_INITIO. (Maximilian Attems) (closes: #318121)

  * [powerpc] :
    - Added powerpc-mkvmlinuz-support patch which allows, together with
      kernel-package 9.0002 to add mkvmlinuz support to hand built packages.
    - Removed powerpc-ppc64-ibmvscsi.patch, FTBFS, and Christoph doesn't like
      it and thinks it is not needed.
    - Disabled swim3 on powerpc-smp, FTBFS.
    - Disabled software-suspend on powerpc-smp, FTBFS, amd64/i386 only smp code.
    - Rediffed and readded the G4 L2 hardware flush assist patch from Jacob Pan.
    (Sven Luther)
    
  * [sparc]
    - Drop sparc32 flavour for now. sparc32 kernel is currently in the
      category "too buggy for us to support". In spite of numerous efforts
      I still see occasional random filesystem corruptions in my tests.
      That does NOT mean that we are dropping sparc32 support, we will
      work with upstream trying to solve these problems for the next
      kernel release. Those interested in helping/testing are encouraged
      to subscribe to debian-sparc mailing list.
      (Jurij Smakov)

  * [alpha]
    - Renamed resulting binary packages for alpha, kernel-image-x.y.z-generic
      wasn't a generic kernel, it was a generic kernel for alpha machines, so
      we're now using linux-image-x.y.z-alpha-generic (and of course, the same
      change for the smp kernel-image). This change was postponed after the
      sarge release. (closes: #260003)
    (Norbert Tretkowski)

  * [amd64]
    - Now using the default compiler (gcc-4.0), thus we get rid of the 
      annoying MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-3.4" make-kpkg... invocation for third-party 
      modules.
      This release lacks 64bit kernels for i386 userland; support will be
      added in a later release as soon as the toolchain has stabilized again.

225	* Enable CONFIG_SCSI_INITIO. (Maximilian Attems) (closes: #318121)
226
227	* [powerpc] :
228	- Added powerpc-mkvmlinuz-support patch which allows, together with
229	kernel-package 9.0002 to add mkvmlinuz support to hand built packages.
230	- Removed powerpc-ppc64-ibmvscsi.patch, FTBFS, and Christoph doesn't like
231	it and thinks it is not needed.
232	- Disabled swim3 on powerpc-smp, FTBFS.
233	- Disabled software-suspend on powerpc-smp, FTBFS, amd64/i386 only smp code.
234	- Rediffed and readded the G4 L2 hardware flush assist patch from Jacob Pan.
235	(Sven Luther)
236
237	* [sparc]
238	- Drop sparc32 flavour for now. sparc32 kernel is currently in the
239	category "too buggy for us to support". In spite of numerous efforts
240	I still see occasional random filesystem corruptions in my tests.
241	That does NOT mean that we are dropping sparc32 support, we will
242	work with upstream trying to solve these problems for the next
243	kernel release. Those interested in helping/testing are encouraged
244	to subscribe to debian-sparc mailing list.
245	(Jurij Smakov)
246
247	* [alpha]
248	- Renamed resulting binary packages for alpha, kernel-image-x.y.z-generic
249	wasn't a generic kernel, it was a generic kernel for alpha machines, so
250	we're now using linux-image-x.y.z-alpha-generic (and of course, the same
251	change for the smp kernel-image). This change was postponed after the
252	sarge release. (closes: #260003)
253	(Norbert Tretkowski)
254
255	* [amd64]
256	- Now using the default compiler (gcc-4.0), thus we get rid of the
257	annoying MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-3.4" make-kpkg... invocation for third-party
258	modules.
259	This release lacks 64bit kernels for i386 userland; support will be
260	added in a later release as soon as the toolchain has stabilized again.
261	(Frederik Schüler)
