please signoff 2.6.38 series for both arches.

...

Features included: - latest stable patches

a bit offtopic, is there a special reason why there's a single big patch for the kernel, and at that one that's not versioned with the kernel package. A broken up patch would be much easier to analyze and understand. -- дамјан

the patch is just an automated composite of the corresponding git branch from kernel.org, IIRC. http://projects.archlinux.org/linux-2.6-ARCH.git/tree/ that's it i believe. C Anthony

We used to have lots of patches in the kernel (between 5 and 15), so a single -ARCH patch was created. Now, the number of patches is fairly small and I am thinking maybe we should go back to single patches. Optimally, we could even have a git tree that tracks "our" kernel - at the time my git skills were not advanced enough to do this, but now I know how to do it. I'm unsure which way is the most transparent.

a git tree to track our kernel seems better. that way users have much more flexibility in viewing diffs and so on. Dieter

No signoff again. There are still graphic glitches (i915) and the WLAN (ath9k) performance on my netbook is miserable. I read that the graphic glitches should be fixed in userspace with current libdrm und xf86-video-intel versions (libdrm 2.4.24 and xf86-video-intel newer than 2011-02-22), but I was unable to test this yet. -- Regards, Richard Schütz

I noticed that new X packages hit [testing] and tried those, but the graphic glitches are still there. corresponding kernel bugzilla entries: i915 problems: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27572 ath9k problems: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31452 -- Regards, Richard Schütz

it's already in [testing], but ATM seems like patch-2.6.38.1-1-ARCH.bz2 is still missing from ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/kernel26/ :-(

As I've already posted in the 2.5.38.1 thread, the video is still broken (ThinkPad R61, Intel GM965), the same artefacts and unusable X terminals... -- Cheers, Sergey

no, but it seems Chris Wilson has found the issue. I guess 38.2 will have the patch. -- дамјан

Are you sure? .38.2 review is already in progress. If you could send us a link to the patch, we could integrate it anyway.

I think this is the patch: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/commit/?h=2.6.38&id=3b936797f5e4623ae1b80a5f0c4df30a17360bf5
