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.
