Hi guys, please signoff 3.0 series for both arches.
Upstream changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges
Archlinux Changes: - Rename the package kernel26 -> linux - Added replaces everywhere - Removed old comments and vercmps from .install file - Removed old comments and replaces from PKGBUILD - added compatibility symlinks for vmlinuz26 and initramfs filenames in PKGBUILD, in order to not break bootloader entries. - removed System.map file, not needed anymore we provide /proc/kallsyms
Now stuff to discuss before uploading to testing: - kernel name: vmlinuz-linux - initramfs name: initramfs-linux.img same for fallback of course.

Can you hold of moving it to [core] for a bit, I need to modify the grub and grub2 config files to handle the new naming scheme.
There is a patch for grub2 (FS#25337) that I still need to verify, for grub in [core] we should probably check for both the old and new naming scheme as the lts kernel still uses the former.
@Allan: as you said last week you were taking care of some grub fixes, can you do that on short term and add this, or should I go ahead and have a go tonight?

To clarify, grub/grub2 still boots, it is the creation of the (sample) config files that gets broken by the new naming scheme. Ronald
