[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools v2.0.27 preparation

[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools v2.0.27 preparation

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

I am planning to release kexec-tools v2.0.27 in the next two weeks
to roughly coincide with the release of the v6.5 kernel.

I would like to ask interested parties to send any patches they would like
included in v2.0.27 within one week so they can be considered for inclusion
in an rc release.

For reference the patches queued up since v2.0.26 are as follows.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to kexec-tools!

f67c4146d7b5 arm64: Hook up the ZBOOT support as vmlinuz
fc7b83bdf734 arm64: Add ZBOOT PE containing compressed image support
f41c4182b0c4 kexec/zboot: Add arch independent zboot support
1572b91da7c4 kexec: Introduce a member kernel_fd in kexec_info
714fa11590fe kexec/arm64: Simplify the code for zImage
a8de94e5f033 LoongArch: kdump: Set up kernel image segment
4203eaccfa92 kexec: __NR_kexec_file_load is set to undefined on LoongArch
63e9a012112e ppc64: Add elf-ppc64 file types/options and an arch specific flag to man page
806711fca9e9 x86: add devicetree support
29fe5067ed07 kexec: make -a the default
e63fefd4fc35 ppc64: add --reuse-cmdline parameter support
8fc55927f700 kexec-tools 2.0.26.git

I'll review your patch! Note the patch is against Fedora's kexec-tools
so it doesn't apply to this upstream kexec-tools. The relationship
between Fedora's kexec-tools and this upstream kexec-tools can be
described as follows,
1. Fedora's kexec-tools packages the kexec binary which is provides by upstream
kexec-tools; 
2. The kexec binary is used for loading the kdump kernel and initrd but
it's not responsible for building the kdump initrd. Fedora's kexec-tools
is used to build the kdump initrd instead. 

Currrently it's WIP to split current Fedora kexec-tools into
kexec-tools, kdump-utils, makedumpfile and eppic. Hopefully after it's
done, you and other uses will no longer be confused by the relationship
between Fedora's kexec-tools and this upstream kexec-tools.

My Thunderbird filters mail from kexec@lists.fedoraproject.org and 
kexec@lists.infradead.org
to the same folder so I got confused. I should update my Thunderbird filter.

Thanks for clarification.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm assuming no action is needed on my part
at this time. Let me know if I am mistaken.
