There are a couple of packages to fix in the stable tree which I will do my best to see fixed before this happens. Daniel -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

I know, because I've been building on ppc for the past few weeks making sure all of this worked so you wouldn't have trouble once we started the release. Unless you mean Pegasos, which is busted on 2.6.16, genkernel or not, and I've spoken with JoseJX about that one already and he's aware of it.

Yeah, 2.6.16 works fine on the Macs, using the older kernel configs, but the Pegasos doesn't.

[gentoo-dev] 2.6.17 kernel stabilisation plan
Hi, I'm hoping to be able to mark 2.6.17 stable on or around July 11th. I'll give around a weeks notice here when that is to happen. Hopefully we'll use this for the 2006.1 release too. If you find packages (e.g. out-of-tree drivers) in the stable tree which do not compile against 2.6.17 (but do compile against 2.6.16) then please file bugs making them block bug #137175. Packages in the stable tree which do not compile against 2.6.16 or older are also important but priority is given to not creating any regressions at this point... Testing of 2.6.17 is very much appreciated, please also file bugs against problems you have with the kernel itself :) Daniel -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
