[Debian] [ben@decadent.org.uk: Re: Kernel version for Lenny 5.1?]

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi openvz developers,

I have tried to conclude which version of the kernel that will be
available in Debian squeeze, that freezes in December this year.
It looks like it will be 2.6.32 or 2.6.31.

I thought you wanted to know.

Best regards,

// Ola

The current stable version in December should be 2.6.32, and I expect we
will use that.  However, it may be better to use 2.6.31 if that's
included in another long-term supported distribution, because then we
can share the support burden.  I believe that RHEL 6 will be using
2.6.31, but this is not yet official.  I don't know about Ubuntu 10.4.

Many of the kernel team members will be meeting at LPC in Portland next
week, where we will discuss this among ourselves and should also be able
to talk to other distributions' developers.

Ben.

I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere.
