Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.13-rc4

Kernel.org
Mirrors


Full Changelog

Hey everybody,

As many of you are aware, we were talking (not enough) about the
release process at LKS this year.

This ain’t it.

This is just the regular old release “process,” with some LKS
backlog put in for good measure.

But the good news is, that I’ll try the new release process
after 2.6.13 is out, which is hopefully not too far away. Which
means that we should try to let people know about the fact that if
they want to merge stuff, they should do so in the first two weeks
after the 2.6.13 release, and no later (also, no earlier either, by
now).

So if you have a favourite kernel developer, please wake him up
with a friendly kick to the head and explain this concept to him in
small easy-to-understand words, and tell him that we’re in the
freeze process for 2.6.13 now, and that he should be gathering up
the patches, and make sure they get to me after 2.6.13 is out, but at that point do it in a
timely manner.

Ok?

In the meantime, here’s the 2.6.13-rc4 update, with a diffstat
so horribly ugly that I won’t even show it (the kernel list would
eat it as too big anyway), and I’ll have to go fix my code that
generates it.

Oh, and in case you wonder, it’s ugly because a cris
architecture update with long filenames that really causes
git-apply to output some rather nasty-looking diffstats 😉

ALSA, IB, NTFS, SCSI (qla2xxx) and the cris architecture
update.

Linus
