Etch and a half is the nickname for a project to add newer packages (kernel/X drivers) within the stable 'etch' release to increase its usefulness to users with hardware that requires updated drivers.

Kickoff Meeting 2007.10.31 @ 18:00 GMT in #debian-release

Minutes and log

Agenda

  • Is it still a good idea?
  • Kernel
    • Are there any issues w/ using 2.6.23?
    • Must the etch 1/2 kernel have a superset of the 2.6.18 features? (e.g., xen, linux-modules-*, kernel-patches, etc)
    • Do we need to comply with etch or post-etch blob-stripping rules?
    • What differences should the etch 1/2 kernel have vs. the packages targeted for sid (e.g., ATA config)
    • Update kernel patches and modules?
    • Newer kernel headers use linux-libc-dev: do we need that too?
    • Will newer kernel headers cause other packages that build against them to FTBFS?
    • Are there other packages that need to be upgraded at the same time? for instance sysvinit to solve #426224
    • 2.6.18 with more backports (e1000, forcedeth, ...)?
    • xen update to 3.1?
  • X
    • What X driver updates?
  • d-i
    • What d-i changes are necessary? What d-i branch?
  • GNOME
  • KDE
  • Attempt to derive a list of milestones/dependencies
  • Future discussion
    • teams.debian.net list?
    • future meetings
