"And on the seventh day the rc release rose again, in accordance withthe Scriptures laid down at the kernel summit of the year 2004"It's been a week, so here's another rc. And while -rc1 was one of thebiggest rc's in memory, rc2 looks fairly normal. We had a few nigglingissues fixed, but it really wasn't anything horribly worse than usual.It might be a *bit* bigger than most -rc2's, but let's wait to seeafter rc3 whether things are actually busier than usual. Quite oftenrc2 is calmer than rc3, with it taking a week for some issues to showup.As to what happened during last week: the *bulk* of the rc2 patch isactually the removal of the rtl8187se staging driver, since there's aproper non-staging one. That's literally just over half of the actualpatch. But even if you ignore just that bulk removal, other driverchanges account for about two thirds of the rest (gpu, networking,fbdev file renames, ipmi, infiniband, pincontrol... you name it). Thedrm stuff is probably most noticeable.Outside of drivers, we've got the usual arch updates (mostly x86 ands390, some parisc) and some Documentation updates. Various networkingfixes and filesystem updates (cifs, sysfs, xfs). And some toolingstuff.Please test, Linus Articles
