Right now users (espacially laptop users) have to choose between hardened-sources ans swsusp2. None of the patches offered on the swsusp2 site applies against hardened-sources-2.6.11-r15. I suggest that this patch be incorporated to the hardened kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Please provide a URL to the files in question and a description of what the patches do and how it helps security.
URL: www.suspend2.net for the projecct, www.suspend2/downloads for the files. The patches provide Software Suspend 2 (a supposedly better software suspend, as most people wo tried it say). They seem to be popular especially among laptop users. They are not directly security related; however, being unable to choose both those (via the swsusp2-sources package) and the hardened kernel makes hardened much less attractive when power saving is an issue.
Correction: s/swsusp2-sources/suspend2-sources/
Those patches aren't helping security (nor hardened) in any way, they just add the support for software-suspend 2. From my point of view, I don't see a reason to add this patch to the repo, as they don't provide any additional security feature.
