(that i can run valgrind against - heh, not umls fault here.) Also, the uml web site needs to be authoritative. building the above should not require patching from additional sources announced on the list. That said, 2.4 and 2.6 are both 'stable' kernel branches that have had quite a bit of UML development in them. So, if it helps future maintaining of both 2.4 and 2.6, at least until 2.7 appears, then do what you need to do. please don't abandon 2.4 until 2.7 is well under way. Maybe you could break up the 2.4 patches into 'stable' 'testing' and 'experimental' ? db Blaisorblade wrote: >Jeff, I've seen the beginning of your work on back-porting all the patches >from 2.6 to 2.4... > >It's a huge work, but what is more important, it could obviously hurt >stability... > >So, I'd suggest to follow this policy to choose the work to merge: > >- reduce *a lot* what is going to be merged... no new features, no code >cleanups (especially NOT the Makefiles cleanups)... > >- concentrate on stability... and on backing out the hostfs rewrite. > > -- db --------------enig1925E2B802F41D5583A8A229 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFB+FBc3XQ4zakZ3z4RAqogAJ9VXf2+G6eJgvcwacBK6dD1iEny2QCcCoRY wf3IlElTexJzMe/2goViS4o= =ZZnd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig1925E2B802F41D5583A8A229-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
