[Voyage-linux] RE: Kernel Planning

[Michael Grollman]

Punky,

I know the full 0.6 is out a ways -- after all, 0.51 just went stable today!

But any sense of when the first draft of a kernel build for 2.6.25 might be
in the daily build?  I do not care right now so much about Lenny as about
the latest kernel.

- Michael 

PS - Thanks for all the good code!

Hi Michael,

Next VL 0.6 should have kernel >= 2.6.25.  But it all depends on the
progress of migrating etch to lenny.
