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 I am removing bcm43xx-fwcutter from core, as it is obsolete.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.
