Changes are: - updates to .1 upstream patch - catalyst should work on x86_64 now - iotop works now - removed toshiba-acpi patch. The one or two people who need it should refer to this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16934 This is a general example of how to build a patched driver without having to build the whole kernel - updated unionfs - updated acpi dsdt initrd patch, it is still broken though, see here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10381 - group scheduler disabled, it seems it causes big latencies.
slmodem and martian are still broken, I didn't get to look at that yet. I think about dropping them, as probably only a handfull of people use them.
I'd also like to hear some opinions on re-adding mactel. They have updates now and apparently some people have problems without them (one report of a non-bootable system, dunno if it's mactel-related).
Are these patches ever going to go upstream? If not, then I vote no. There has to be a reason upstream won't take them, and thats reason enough for me to say no in our stock kernel.
Okay, x86_64 has been updated to 2.6.25.3, i686 is building right now and will be uploaded when I return in a few hours. Everything else is the same as above.
i686 is looking fine here, just rebooted and all is well. Nothing too exotic with my setup though. -Dan
