Help testing the latest hardened sources
Hi everyone,

So if you've been following the CVE-2014-4699 you know that fix is in
the tree but ~arch. Today I added 3 more ebuilds:

./hardened-sources-3.2.61-r1.ebuild
./hardened-sources-3.14.12-r1.ebuild
./hardened-sources-3.15.5-r1.ebuild

which add another fix for ext4. I really want that fix in the next
stable set so I'm going to accelerate their stabilization. Can you
please test these and see if they work for you. I'll shoot for about 1
week.

It has been frustrating of late balancing testing with new fixes. I
need a new baseline.

I've tested this one for 30 minutes on amd64 workstation - everything
works fine and there was no significant differences in logs compared to
3.14.11-hardened-r1.

Now I've updated to this one - it boots ok, logs ok too, if there will be
any issues in next week I'll report to bugzilla.
