Hi, 2.6.10-as is now in purely maintenance mode; that is, I'll only include security fixes or quick things that people send me (that don't require much effort on my part :). This includes the security fix from 2.6.11.2. I'll have 2.6.11-as1 soon, after I sync up w/ Debian stuff and go through about 800 more changesets. We'll see where 2.6.x.y goes from there; if feeding patches is easy, then there won't be much need for -as; otherwise, I'll continue doing it as a vendor base (at least one person who does vendor kernels has expressed the opinion that they'd prefer 2.6.x.y to be a bit more liberal than it currently is).
Also, note the email address; I'm trying to phase out usage of my voxel.net address, as I no longer work there. The -as tree is intended to include only security and bugfixes, from various sources. I do not include hardware driver updates (specifically, anything that changes how the hardware registers themselves are probed/poked), large subsystem updates, cleanups, and so on; only fixes that will not contain regressions. The hope is that vendors/distributors can use this tree as a base for their kernels. It is also what I'd want a 2.6.x.y tree to have. The kernel patches can be grabbed from here: http://www.acm.cs.rpi.edu/~dilinger/patches/2.6.10/as7/ 86f79bd2e50963829da3c0456804df0f ChangeLog e852090bafa5ea4ff7c6b922d33ec1e7 linux-2.6.10-as7.tar.gz 8ca1ac89c1eac2111f146cc21d6193c2 patch-2.6.10-as7.gz Changes from 2.6.10-as6: 2005-03-10 21:51:49 GMT Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> patch-155 Summary: tag 2.6.10-as7 Revision: linux--dilinger--0--patch-155 modified files: 000-extraversion.patch 2005-03-10 21:50:21 GMT Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> patch-154 Summary: 144-sys_epoll_wait_int_overflow.patch Revision: linux--dilinger--0--patch-154 [SECURITY] sys_epoll_wait contains an integer overflow; see http://seclists.org/lists/fulldisclosure/2005/Mar/0293.html for additional details. new files: .arch-ids/144-sys_epoll_wait_int_overflow.patch.id 144-sys_epoll_wait_int_overflow.patch 2005-03-10 21:46:21 GMT Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> patch-153 Summary: 143-sysfs_write_file_signedness_problem.patch Revision: linux--dilinger--0--patch-153 [SYSFS] sysfs_write_file assigns the result of fill_write_buffer (which is signed and returns negative upon error) to an unsigned int.
