Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-512
2005-07-01
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : kernel
Version     : 2.6.12
Release     : 1.1369_FC3
Summary     : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
Description :
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any
Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.

This rebase to 2.6.12.2 touches a *lot* of code, so needs quite a bit
of testing before I'm comfortable to push this out as an official FC3
update. However at the same time, FC3 has been deprived of updates for
a while, so this shouldn't languish in -testing longer than necessary.

Of particular interest to look out for in this test kernel are any
SELinux/audit warnings that appear. The latest policy updates for FC3
seem to be safe from my limited testing so far, but it could be that
there's something missing that made it into the FC4 branch only.

Have fun..
