So this is it, 2.6.26 is going to testing. I adjusted the configuration according to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10512 and changed the maximum number of CPUs to 16. I hope I didn't miss any configuration bugs, if so, please tell me. Except some driver updates, there is nothing too exciting here. Just a few remarks:Kernel stuff: - uvesafb needs the new v86d from testing now (old one segfaults)- bcm43xx has been removed, all users must switch to b43 or b43legacy and use b43-fwcutter for firmware extraction. I am removing bcm43xx-fwcutter from core, as it is obsolete. - Someone should test squashfs, unionfs and aufs and report if they work (Simo?)If there is more, please tell me :) Module packages:- I patched catalyst with a weird patch to make it work, please anyone test and report! - intel-536ep and intel-537 don't compile. I didn't look closely yet, and frankly, I doubt they have much users. Do we really want to maintain them? - lirc is broken, maybe an update to 0.8.3 will fix it. Can the maintainer take care of this? I don't know when I'll get to it. - madwifi is broken. Do we still need it? AFAIK, all chipsets should now be supported by ath5k by now. Can a madwifi user please look at this (Aaron, Dan?) - martian is broken again. A user sent me patches last time, I have to look for his email address, maybe he fixes it again (user whose name I forgot, if you are reading this, please contact me).- I didn't try openswan-klips, any updates here? (tomk?) - wlan-ng26 is broken and I'd like to drop it, as I doubt anybody uses it.- I updated nvidia-71xx and nvidia-96xx to new upstream release for 2.6.26 compatibility.i686 is untested, so I need at least two signoffs. x86_64 works fine.
I'm building 2.6.26-2 now. Only change is that I am adding uvcvideo and some DVB driver (hope there wasn't something else). As I will be gone tomorrow, here is what needs to be done before this is moved to core:
- Build madwifi. Gerhard Brauer sent me a fixed PKGBUILD, I attached it to this mail. - Andy said there is a new version for catalyst, which should hopefully fix the problem he reported. Maybe we need to reapply http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=linux-2.6-ARCH.git;a=blob;f=patches/ati-catalyst-2.6.25.patch;h=f90d8b40a7f1c8a0ea9a3ec4229322d4df98e7ab;hb=daaa7a2c43699c3b2acffaef1a4fed863194d29f - Drop wlan-ng26. It's not worth maintaining it, as it's probably unneeded by now. - Ignore intel-536ep, intel-537 and martian until somebody fixes it. If nobody sends a patch, move to core anyway, or just drop the packages. I really don't care.
Have a great week.
