2.4.15-greased-turkey ???

[Tim Tassonis]

Hi

linux/include/linux/version.h in 2.4.15:

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.15-greased-turkey"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132111
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))


What's this all about??

(Looks a bit strange to have /lib/modules/2.4.15-greased-turkey ...)

Bye
Tim

can turn 2.4 over to Marcelo now :)

It'sa worthy follow-up to the 2.2.x "greased weasel" releases, but as
yesterday was Thanksgiving here in the US, and a lot of turkeys offered
their lives in celebration of the new 2.5.0 tree, the 2.4.x series got
christened a "greased turkey" instead of a weasel.

It may not have quite the same connotations of slippery speed as the
weasel, but then some people said the same thing about the penguin too.

I had to apply the following patch before I could run this on my system:

I've had better luck with 2.4.15-tasteful-salad.

("offered their lives", indeed.  Why, I thought the USA's current
terminology was "collateral damage".)
