[Debian] Re: Unfreeze of a number of packages

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi

I understand that you do not consider the update of kernel-patch-openvz
to be something that you can unfreeze that easily. I have been in contact
with Luk before and he promised to look at it, so Luk do you have any
other opinion about this?

Here are some arguments that it can be unblocked:
* No other package depends on this package
* Compilation for all supported architectures have been done, except for
  ia64 as I do not have a build host for that arch, more than merulo and
  it need to be in unstable for some time for that.
* Compiled kernel have been regression tested.

Kir, have you some other good arguments or specific error corrections
that you want to point out?

I just know that there are number of nasty bugs that have been corrected in this
version.

Regards,

// Ola

PS. Kir is the project manager for openvz.

Thanks for that.
