Hi guys, kernel26-2.6.30-2 please signoff, both arches. And tell me your opinion about madwifi and openswan-klisp

Arch Linux changes: - changed to lzma kernel compression

Any real reason for this besides the fact that it is newer and sexier? It is also slower, and I doubt we have many Arch users that need the benefits of a slightly smaller compressed kernel on disk (esp since it all needs to be unpacked in memory anyway). Hrm talked to thomas about it, if it's an issue of bootup speed we can revert

I probably came across a bit too against this- it really isn't a big deal either way, I just figured there wasn't much of a reason to go for a different compression scheme than gzip. I'm fine with whatever the maintainer(s) want to go with.

I wonder why people are so gung-ho for lzma these days? It's been around for a while, where did the sudden "OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME" thing come from?

Arch Linux changes: - removed snd-pcspkr module #14958 - changed to lzma kernel compression - removed dsdt patch, it doesn't work anymore, probably we can remove it forever. Please shout out loud, if you really need this! - remove rt2500 when moving to core repository

The rt2x00 replacement for rt2500, rt2500pci has been stable for over a year so I'm surprised there's anyone using rt2500 at all. No issues there.

I wouldn't call a driver stable that selects 1MBit/s as a default speed and even if you force it to a higher rate is still slow in every second kernel version. And that was way less than a year ago. I didn't use it recently, but the auto rate bug was never gone for me.

Nouveau is broken with the new kernel. A rebuild of the old drm module and driver pkg won't load the module.

We need a new drm module. Did a fresh git checkout. That one builds fine but it requieres also a new userspace driver. The driver pkg won't compile right now.

-Andy Hi i bumped it when i did the kernel rebuild, this compiled and is in testing. Is it not working?
