[gentoo-dev] Linux 2.6.28 stable plans
2.6.28 is out, happy holidays.. The usual things: 1. Bugs in non-kernel packages in the stable tree that appear due to this upgrade are tracked at bug #252467 2. Tentative stable date is January 15th, will be held back if we have bad kernel regressions etc, but jan 15th is the aim. If your package breaks due to this upgrade, it's your responsibility to fix this in the stable tree before this date. You can ask me for help. As long as it's gone jan 15th, your broken packages will not hold back the kernel from going stable... 3. Who's brave enough to put ext4 on / ? :) Daniel

As long as it's gone jan 15th, your broken packages will not hold back the kernel from going stable... All .28 series kernels (all rc kernels and the final one, too) do not compile on Alpha at all. We reported this when rc1 came out and the culprit and a possible solution were discussed[0], but nothing materialized. I re-triggered this on bugzilla today[1], hoping it will be fixed soon. Until then, vanilla .28 is unusable on alpha. 3. Who's brave enough to put ext4 on / ? :) I'll be trying that as soon as I find the time (read: somewhere around summer 2015 if nothing gets added to my work-pile :)) Regards Happy End-of-year stuff, Tobias [0] http://www.nabble.com/-ALPHA--2.6.28-rc-fails-to-compile-td20223847.html [1] http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12289 -- panic(CPU too expensive - making holiday in the ANDES!); linux-2.2.16/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c

Until then, vanilla .28 is unusable on alpha. Sounds like .28 was released overhasty. For sparc(probably mips and sh too) there's also one open regression [0], but it only affects the headers(- compiling c library), the kernel itself is fine...so not as bad as alpha I guess :D Tobias, I saw you marked vanilla-sources -alpha but gentoo-sources not, did you miss that?

3. Who's brave enough to put ext4 on / ? :) I've been using ext4 on my / (and /home) for more than a month now, no problems at all, but a quite nice - subjective - performance boost, especially in regards to filesystem checks. Also helped with the ongoing fsync problems with the Awesomebar of Firefox 3. bye Andreas -- Andreas Proschofsky Gentoo Developer / OpenOffice.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
