I was going to be able to produce a report confirming the successful
installation of a range of the 35.7 kernels running on about 80 machines
today, but I ended up applying the chown patch before doing so. The pain
required to reboot all the machines is too much to want to do so more
than is absolutely necessary, so better safe than sorry. The resultant
kernels have been behaving fine so far (except that the NVIDIA installer
for their video cards now complains that it cannot insert the module it's
just compiled. It might be worth someone else working out where this
problem has arisen - I don't have the resources at the moment).

Regarding releases.. normally if there haven't been any negative reports
packages move to updates/ after about a week.

I haven't been able to commit any time to building further updates since
I put out 35, there having been a lot of stuff on at work, but if noone
else does I'll try and look at the pending issues for the kernel in a
week or so.

Cheers,

Dominic.
