Hi all,As almost everyone knows, it's been an "interesting" week from a socialpoint-of-view.  But from the technical side, -rc5 looks totally normal.The diffstat is a bit higher than previous -rc5's, but the number oftrees pulled is lower, so overall, pretty much all is on track.  I'm notseeing any major "these bugs are not being fixed!" type of reports, so Ican hope that the initial churn that -rc1 threw at everyone is undercontrol.The majority size-wise of changes here are with more tests being addedand fixed up, but there is also the usual networking, x86, sound, drm,ppc, and other fixes.  Full details are in the shortlog below.As usual, please go and test this thing, and let me know if anythingtechnical isn't getting addressed that needs to be.thanks,greg "keeping the seat warm for a few weeks" k-h
