Ok, we’re getting closer, although the 2.6.16 release certainly
seems to drag out more than it should have.
Some of the worrisome bootup problems seem to have been resolved
to a stupid build-time race, where we just generated an empty
version string. Oops.
The diffstat shows that the largest changes here are the ia64
defconfig updates, much of the rest really is pretty small, but all
over the map. Some ocfs2 and 9pfs fixes and updates, and various
driver and networking fixes.
The ShortLog (appended) gives a pretty good picture of it,
Linus
