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.
