[arch-dev-public] kernel26 patch git repository
As some of you have noticed, I moved all the stuff we do in the -ARCH kernel into a separate patch to make the PKGBUILD slimmer. Now I finally set up a generation script for the patch (which is in an early state, doesn't do much error handling, but works) which will probably grow and become more sophisticated over time. I set the script and the patches up in http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=linux-2.6-ARCH.git;a=summary However, I need someone with root to run groupadd linux-2.6-ARCH-git (is that even a valid group name?) chown -R thomas:linux-2.6-ARCH-git path/to/repo I did the rest of the steps listed in repo-setup.txt, so after that the repository should be fine. I will start preparing 2.6.25 soon (maybe even today), but I want to clean up the patch. If anybody has opinions about any of the patches currently included, please post them here. You can go through the PATCHCFG file in the repository and comment on the ones you like or dislike.

I've made the changes, so no one else has to. Jason

I generated the first prepatch for 2.6.25 (2.6.25-rc8-git4). You can find the changes in git: - Dropped the unusual-devs patch, I submitted this one over a year ago and it should be merged right no, no idea why it still applies - There is no newer mactel patch. I would like to drop it, is this really still necessary? - There is no phc patch which applies. I was always against this patch, so what do we do about it? I'd like to drop it. - Updated acpi-dsdt-initrd and unionfs - Dropped the bugfix patches in 2.6.24 Any comments are appreciated, I will try building a kernel with this patches in a minute.

I don't think it's a bad thing to cut the fat, so to speak. However we'll need to be careful (and explicit) about dropping support for things people are already using, otherwise people are going to get some nasty surprises when they upgrade. -S

squashfs fails to build. There is a patch, which (if I understand it properly) basically removes the possibility to export the squashfs via NFS. I haven't found another fix.
