newer r4 snapshots?

[Pysiak Satriani]

Hello!

I was wondering why there are no r4 snapshots since august.
I am sorry if the answer was in the huge debate here and there.
I have read that r4 will not be accepted in the kernel in
the shape it is now. So is the r4 team working on changes agreed
with the kernel developers or doing some other clever tasks?

The main question is: will there be snapshots for vanilla,
not -mm kernels anytime soon?

I have stopped using -mm kernels and patchsets with r4 because
there I found no r4 patches for newer kernels that have important
networking fixes for me.

Regards,
Maciej

vs, please remove all snapshots from our website and point people to -mm 
series of kernel, so that others do not repeat this understandable mistake.

Ah, okay. So -mm kernels only. Righto!

Do we have to follow -mm to obtain updates to the v4 code?

I would rather keep a relatively stable Linux kernel but have bleeding
edge reiser4 to test.

Is such an option available?

If not, is there a changelog describing which reiser4 changes have
been integrated into each -mm kernel?

You can retrieve the 2.6.X-mmY-broken-out.tar.gz, which has all the
separate patches in it - the 'series' file indicates the order the patches
should get applied.

for i in `grep ^reiser broken-out/series`; do
   patch -p1 < broken-out/$i
done

(add salt, pepper, and seasoning to taste.. ;)

The problem you'll hit is that there's probably interdependencies
that you'll have to hand-resolve - for starters, the very first patch
that goes into -mm is linus.patch, which Andrew told me is "whatever was
in Linus's BK an hour or so before" (i.e. it's probably even more bleeding
edge than the most recent -bk snapshot).  So you're probably going to
end up doing some hand-editing to make stuff work.

Right now, patch.2.6.9-rc2 is some 432K lines, and linus.patch is
another 135K.  Good luck. ;)

If you don't want to rediff the patches yourself against a vanilla
kernel (or have no point to start at or whatever), there are few people
who are publishing Reiser4 snapshots rediffed against vanilla (since it
is not a real big task if you're a bit familiar with the stuff :) ) 

Either have a look at mine
(<URL:http://linux.mjh.name/kernel/patches/reiser4/>) or search through
the archives for some other peole publishing such patches (I remember
there was at least one person some time ago)

Milan
