Description: International patch for the Linux kernel
 This patch contains cryptographic capatibilities for the linux kernel,
 that can't be included in the official kernel source due to US-exports
 laws. It can be used with kernel version 2.2.15
 .
 This patch contains the DFSG-free parts of the "official" internatinal
 kernel patch available at www.kerneli.org except the CIPE patch which
 is packaged independent from this package.

Subject: Bug 188173: should kernel-patch-int be removed ?

Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2003 15:04:09 +1000

Hi,

it seems to me that the package kernel-patch-int should not only be
orphaned but also be removed entirely from the archive (sarge/sid).

The package is outdated and does not work on either woody or sarge/sid, and
since it is not supported by upstream anymore, this won't change in the
future.

Last but not least, it has been superseded by cryptoapi-core-source
(maintainer cc'ed if he has something to add) which implements the
currently accepted way of providing cryptographical functions in the
linux-kernel.

Any objection ? Should I wait or file a bug for removal ?

cryptoapi-core-source does not supersede kernel-patch-int, see bug
#169038.  For people who use 2.2 kernels, kernel-patch-int will still
be useful.

... but kernel-patch-int doesn't seem to work with woody anyway (see
#80957), neither does Sarge.

Does Sarge still support kernel 2.2 ?

Subject: kernel-patch-int no longer in the archive

Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 22:52:32 -0400

kernel-patch-int, kernel-patch-2.2.18-openwall, and 
kernel-image-2.2.20-udma100-ext3-i386 even in the archive anymore 
(198449), so the O: bugs against them should be closed.
