grsecurity was released for kernel-2.6.17.7 about a week ago http://www.grsecurity.net/ why the current stable hardened-sources use 2.6.16 and a daily snapshot of grsecurity?
Your question is unclear if you are asking one.
I'm asking why the current stable hardened-sources doesn't use the official grsecurity release and a 2.6.17 kernel grsecurity doesn't support 2.6.16: http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?t=1518 gentoo-sources-2.6.17-* is stable since a while, so my questions are: -why hardened sources aren't bumped to the last kernel and the last official grsecuriy patch? - why not test 2.6.17 and the new grsec and make it stable when ready?
simply answer is simply. cuz noone has gotten around to it yet.
ok then please bump, thanks Nicola
A bit of a belated reply but... There is quite a lot of effort and care taken when we roll the 2.6 hardened-sources releases to ensure they are stable, of high quality and secure. I'd much prefer for our efforts to be spent getting the work done cleanly and professionally than releasing under-par into testing.
