Where are the kernel updates?

Posted May 29, 2003 7:55 UTC (Thu) by mh (subscriber, #7058) [Link]

Debian requires over 100 packages to be fixed and recompiled in order to make their releases. (kernel images and module packages for many architectures). To do this properly does take a long time. The security team are working on it.
People are also looking into modifying the kernel package build scripts so that this can all be done a lot easier for future Debian releases.
