[Secure-testing-team] Bug#506711: kernel-package: [sparc] no longer produces compressed kernels for linux-2.6
Package: kernel-package Version: 11.0011 Severity: serious Tags: d-i Justification: kernels built using this break sparc D-I builds Daily builds of D-I for sparc have been failing with: gzip: ./tmp/netboot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-sparc64: not in gzip format This has been traced to the fact that the kernel as taken from the 2.6.26-10 linux-image package for sparc64 (built 08 Nov) is no longer compressed. As sparc still uses kernel-package to build official Debian kernel images (based on info from Bastian Blank), this is most likely a regression in kernel-package. It is unknown whether this issue also affects other architectures or not. The previous D-I kernel udebs were based on linux-image 2.6.26-8 (built for sparc on 9 Okt) did not have this issue, so at that time things were still OK. Please inform both the kernel team and the installer teams when this issue is fixed as we will need binNMU''s for linux-2.6 for any (potentially) affected architectures and after that new uploads of the kernel udebs for D-I.

On Monday 24 November 2008, you wrote:> Daily builds of D-I for sparc have been failing with: > gzip: ./tmp/netboot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-sparc64: not in gzip format[...] This is of course not a security issue. Blame me for trying to save a few characters to type. I selected a random tag in reportbug in order to replace it by one I wanted without realizing that picking ''security'' would result in CCs to you folks. Sorry for the noise.
