This directory serves as a mechanism for tracking the status of issues across multiple kernel revisions. Today it is primarily used for security issues. Each issue is described in an rfc-822 style format. New issues ---------- To start tracking a new issue, svn copy 00boilerplate to a file with a name that concisely identifies the issue. If a CVE ID has been assigned, use the CVE ID as the filename. Take a look at 00example to see the valid values for each of the fields. Tracking new trees ------------------ Run the sync-pkg-list tool to automatically add fields for each of the currently maintained kernels (those listed in 00pkglist): $ ./scripts/sync-pkg-list -p 00pkglist ia64-buggy-preempt > tmp $ mv tmp ia64-buggy-preempt CVE assignments --------------- If a CVE is later assigned to an issue, svn mv that file to the CVD ID.
