<font face="Century Schoolbook L">Hi all, <br>
I don't know how many of us know of debian-kernel-handbook. This
is the place to go to find how debian makes it kernel and what all
goes into it. <br>
<br>
There is an old version which is in debian archive :-<br>
<br>
[$] aptitude show

Description: reference to Debian Linux kernel packages and
development<br>
A reference manual for: <br>
<br>
* Working on the linux package <br>
* Building custom kernels and modules <br>
* Working with initramfs images <br>
* Kernel team policies<br>
<br>
And a slightly newer version at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/">https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/</a> - notice the difference
in the kernel version strings. <br>
<br>
Anyways, as part to show contribution from hamaralinux reported
the bug <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.debian.org/782784">https://bugs.debian.org/782784</a> . <br>
<br>
What was interesting is that bug took over an hour to get
registered on the Debian BTS. I was intrigued as on the
@gmail.com address such mails take not more than 2 minutes to show
up on the Debian BTS. I was in half a mind to put a bug in
bugzilla as usually either the mail will reach or bounce-back
saying something or the other is broken (in sense similar to the
ping program I had shared few days ago ) . So after an hour when
it did show up on the BTS I did a bit of research and this is what
I was able to find. <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=782784">https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=782784</a><br>
<br>
If you are trying to figure out how that page came, it's link from
full text on the right hand side where it says Message 5. <br>
<br>
If you look and study the log you will see the second last line
which says :-<br>
<br>
X-Greylist: delayed 3934 seconds by postgrey-1.34 at buxtehude;
Fri, 17 Apr 2015 20:06:53 UTC<br>
<br>
And of-course if we were to divide 3934 seconds by 60 seconds we
would get the grand total of 65.56^ minutes which is the
difference of the time I put up the bug and it was white-listed. I
will certainly do couple of more bug-reports to see if the time
count goes down or not. <br>
<br>
Of course, as can be seen in the log, there are other interesting
bits which do catch the eye as well. <br>
<br>
Anyways, enough for now. Gotta sleep and then try to catch some
virtual bugs early morning :)<br>
