“Andrew Morton released the 2.6.15-rc5-mm3 kernel noting that
he’ll be ‘non-functional’ from today December 16’th through January
2’nd. Due to his absence he suggests, ‘when reporting any bugs
please be extra careful to Cc the appropriate developer and mailing
list.’“2.6.15-rc5-mm3 is the first 2.6-mm kernel to require gcc-3.2.x
or later for all architectures, a change that may eventually be
merged into Linus’ 2.6 stable Linux tree. Andrew went on to list
half a dozen bugs that still aren’t resolved from rc5-mm1 noting,
‘we need to get these things fixed up before maintainers merge into
2.6.16, please. I’ll be checking…!'”
