hello, while waiting rc1 to be mirrored out, i've set up a WIP repo at
http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/vmiklos/kernel2624 it contains kernel-2.6.24 and i'm about to fix up other packages which are now broken by this update. non-kernel-module pkgs: - kbd pkg. it now handles that the terminals are by default utf8, so it disabled unicode if utf8 is not in $LANG external modules: - acerhk: fixed up FB, built - kqemu: rebuilt - ipw3945: patched, built and blacklisted by default. the in-kernel iwl3945 driver is more stable, but i haven't removed ipw3945 as for example it's needed for wpa2 support (hopefully the in-kernel driver will support it as well. - rt2400: removed, use the new in-kernel driver - rt2500: same - gspcav1: rebuilt - truecrypt: patched, built - nvidia: rebuilt - redirfs: new package, required by dazuko, see below - dazuko: patched, now using redirfs as lsm support has been removed in 2.6.24 - ndiswrapper: rebuilt - adm8211: removed, use the new in-kernel driver - nvidia-96xx: rebuilt - lirc: patched, built - madwifi: rebuilt - virtualbox: rebuilt - qc-usb: patched, built - wlan-ng: patched, built - acx100: patched, built still broken: - fglrx: FTBFS, should we switch to the catalyst driver? (it builds with 2.6.24) - voroskoi? - rlocate: FTBFS, because of lsm removal. crazy suggested to make this nobuild if other modules are already ok, we'll see what can we do. - r8169: FTBFS. is it still needed - voroskoi? i'm running this repo for 2 days and it seems i have no stability problems so far. if we can resolve these 3 issues, i think we could merge, and let 0.8 go with 2.6.24. opinions? (as a side note, no rush. we can wait with that merge if we want, rc2 is not near.) references: - lsm removal: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=20510f2f4e2dabb0ff6c13901807627ec9452f98;hp=5c3b447457789374cdb7b03afe2540d48c649a36 thanks, - VMiklos
