Description

It has been uploaded to sid two days ago. We’ll want to:

  • check if it has changes we do want (security or regression fixes); given the huge list of changes, and the reported regressions in 1.2~rc1 (MAC spoofing, nouveau DRM), I very much suspect so: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/l/linux/unstable_changelog
  • if yes:
    • adjust our code according to the ABI bump
    • make sure it’s in the i386 archive you use, when we build the final 1.2 ISO

Willing to give the RM a hand (the current RM view scares me a little bit), I prepared the branch, merged into experimental, and pushed so that Jenkins picks it up, and frontdesk can point to it (see private email for details). Untested.
