Debian applies small changes to the kernel source. These are split up into
|
|
|
|
|
separated patches addressing individual problems. Each of the patch files
|
|
|
|
|
contains a description and mentions the author. The patches can be found
|
|
|
|
|
at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-2.6/debian/patches/.

Config Files
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
The .config files used to build the various linux-image files are dynamically
|
|
|
|
|
generated during the linux-2.6 package build. See the source package for
|
|
|
|
|
details. Each linux-image-* package provides the complete .config file that
|
|
|
|
|
was used to generate it. This file is installed in /boot.

Scope of security support
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
Security support is provided not only for the binary builds, but also
|
|
|
|
|
for the full source package, allowing for locally customized kernels.
|
|
|
|
|
However, kernel options that are not enabled in official Debian builds are
|
|
|
|
|
given a lower priority for security support. Options marked as BROKEN
|
|
|
|
|
or EXPERIMENTAL are of very low priority, and should not be enabled in
|
|
|
|
|
customized builds for a security-sensitive environment.
