Howto handle security fixes for fai-kernels
-------------------------------------------
fai-kernels builds with the linux-source-2.6.16 package. If these packages
get updated with a security fix, fai-kernels needs to be rebuild.
The kernel-image-debs which are included in the fai-kernel package contain
the kernel abi version in the included packages name. If the abi version
changes, those abi version number has to be incremented in fai kernels rules
file as well.
In etch FAI should be changed to use debian standard kernels, so security
updates are no issue anymore (from a fai kernel POV :)
Currently this is not possible, as those kernels don't contain nfsroot
support, and FAI needs it (currently - the plan is to initrd kernel for FAI
as well.)
