Slightly less than a week, but since I'm leaving for vacationtomorrow, here it is.Things have continued to be pretty calm. We have a few more commitshere than there were in -rc5, but not enough to make me worry, andmost of the changes really tend to be tiny. And the few commits thataren't one-liners (or "few-liners") tend to be reverts (egre-introducing /proc/<pid>/oom_adj) or some pretty obscure stuff (theMIPS irqflags functions).So we've got some arch updates (mainly mips and unicore32, with asmattering of arm[64] and s390) and driver changes (sound, net, usb).Along with some networking and mm fixes.The appended shortlog gives a flavor of the kinds of things thathappened, it's really not all that exciting, but it's short enough tobe easy to read through to get some kind of idea.I'll have a laptop with me as I'm away, but if things calm down evenfurther, I'll be happy. I'll do an -rc7, but considering how calmthings have been, I suspect that's the last -rc. Unless somethingdramatic happens.                    Linus
