Hi,
in the devel branch, we've recently upgraded the kernel to sid's
3.8.x. In my understanding, this kernel will disappear from there once
3.9.4-1 successfully builds on enough release architectures, so we
have two options: either we "freeze" preemptively our devel branch to
use 3.8.x, or we pick the newer 3.9.4-1.
I propose we pick the slightly newer 3.9.4-1, to get even better
hardware support, to avoid spending time importing the 3.8.x packages
into our APT repository... and to get the Yama LSM, which implements
todo/restrict_access_to_ptrace.
So, please review'n'merge feature/linux-3.9. Candidate for Tails 0.19,
in experimental since the beginning of the week.
Here's what I have successfully (manually) tested:
- boot from virtual DVD
- boot from USB on bare metal
- clone & upgrade from DVD
- clone & install from USB
- setup persistence
- delete persistent volume
- read-write persistence
- read-only persistence
- emergency shutdown when running from USB
Cheers,
