[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools 2.0.12-rc1

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

I am happy to announce the release of kexec-tools 2.0.12-rc1.

This is an incremental feature pre-release.

So long as no serious problems arise I intend to release kexec-tools 2.0.12
in a weeks time. Testing of 2.0.12-rc1 would be greatly appreciated.

I do not have any outstanding changes for 2.0.12 at this time.
And I would like to only accept bug fixes at this time and take take
features patches once 2.0.12 has been released.

The pre-release can be downloaded from kernel.org:

	https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools-2.0.12-rc1.tar.xz
	https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/

I have also tagged it in git:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to kexec.


For reference the changes since v2.0.11 are:

Hi Simon!

I am confused about this: I got 'kexec/arch/ppc64/include/arch/ftb.h'  
in the directory cloned with git, while 'ftb.h' is absent in the 
corresponding directory decompressed from the tar.gz you provided above.

All the best!
Freeman

Hi Freeman,

thanks for reporting this problem. I have applied the following patch with
the intention of including it in v2.0.12. I believe it should resolve
the problem you see by including ftb.h in the tarball.
