Hi,<br><br>For example, bug 249729 (<a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249729">http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249729</a>) is a security bug that affect a lot of versions (<a href="http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/32516/info">http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/32516/info</a>).<br>
Also, i may be wrong... i don't think it is a very dangerous bug... but it is a security bug anyway.<br><br>So, what the KernelTeam do in this case?<br><br>First, genpatches and gentoo-sources have in cvs-trunk 2.6.25, 2.6.26, 2.6.27 and now is creating the structure for <a href="http://2.6.28.">2.6.28.</a> But let focus on .25, .26 and .27 that are the stable kernel releases.<br>
<br>For .27, the <a href="http://2.6.27.8">2.6.27.8</a> stable review cycle is in process, so when it's released, KernelTeam just update genpatches to have <a href="http://2.6.27.8">2.6.27.8</a> patch and release 2.6.26-r4? And ask for stabilization?<br>
<br>For .26, backport to genpatches and release 2.6.26-r4?<br>Same for .25, and release 2.6.25-r10?<br>(Or if the patch just apply with no problems, just get it and put it in there.)<br><br><br>The older versions, are not suported by genpatches anymore... but they should stay marked as stable, even with security bugs?<br>
<br><br clear="all"><br>And what is the procedure for the sys-kernel/vanilla-sources ebuilds? Leave it as it is? Try to stabilize any new version? Take out any version or put ~ back in them?<br><br><br>Ty<br>-- <br>Bruno C. Buss<br>
