Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.19

There it finally is (or rather – I’m currently uploading the
tar-file and patches, and the mirrors are hopefully busily pushing
out the git tree that is already updated).

There’s not a lot to be said about the changes since -rc6: the
shortlog (appended) tells the whole story, and it’s really mostly a
lot of one-liners or other really small changes. Bugs fixed, but
nothing that stands out in my mind.

So go get it. It’s one of those rare “perfect” kernels. So if it
doesn’t happen to compile with your config (or it does compile, but
then does unspeakable acts of perversion with your pet dachshund),
you can rest easy knowing that it’s all your own d*mn fault, and
you should just fix your evil ways.

You could send me and the kernel mailing list a note about it
anyway, of course. (And perhaps pictures, if your dachshund is
involved. Not that we’d be interested, of course. No. Just so that
we’d know to avoid it next time).
