[uml-devel] [patch 0/17] UML updates, which must be merged before 2.6.9

[uml-devel] [patch 0/17] UML updates, which must be merged before 2.6.9

[BlaisorBlade]

Andrew, sorry for sending these patches so late, but they are (mostly 
one-liners) needed to fix either warnings in compilation (the patches are 
safe) or probable bugs which are created by these warnings.

The Makefile patch are of another kind: actually, when I send that couple of 
patches merged before -rc3, they were against my tree and absolutely 
incorrect against Linus tree; sorry for not checking that; in fact UML does 
not link with neither -rc3 nor -rc4 (also due to a compilation bug I already 
fixed for -rc3). However, this Makefile fixes fix everything, have been 
longly tested in public (hanging both in my tree, in SuSE UML tree and in 
Jeff Dike's tree).

Finally, I'm sending a patch for a network corruption which is very nasty; 
it's a one-liner, a resync against the copied original code and I've actually 
tested it works perfectly.

So, please, even if now we are in a hurry after -rc4, merge them. It's the 
only possibility for UML to actually work "out of the box".

Oh well, and sorry for sending "[uml-devel] [patch 4/6] uml: don't declare 
cpu_online - fix compilation error" - I just noticed it's included in 
2.6.9-rc4-mm1. All the rest applies without even any offsets to that tree, 
too.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Ok, thanks - however, I've just added (you'll see it in your mailbox) the "ln 
vmlinux linux" fix for the Single Linking Step, which I missed in the first 
merge. I have seen mention of it in your diary, which sadly I don't read 
frequently (I'll try to do this).

But it would be better to contact me directly (in this case, I just re-added 
again the archhelp, mentioning the deprecation of this target).

I also just built a vanilla -rc4-bk2 kernel and it worked like a charm. Andrew 
sent to Linux all the patches, and it appears all them were taken inside the 
BK snapshot.

This page is very nice:
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5

As a side note: for now, to avoid breaking people scripts, ubd=sync and/or 
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UBD_SYNC are still synonims (like people are used to threat 
them), and are also like replacing ubd0= with ubd0s= for all devices (like 
people used to think).

This way, the only think people will notice is more speed. Since you are 
always worried about people needing to change their boot scripts, this meets 
perfectly your criteria.

You had not agreed on this, but you can fix it later if you want - actually, 
you did not answer to my last email about this subject, in which I said what 
I say above (it happens frequently).

About other work - could you drop the outdated SKAS patches from the official 
page? Updating two sites is slow, and waiting for you to pull the changes 
from CVS makes the CVS actually unusable (plus you must do the fucking 
"SF.net download dance", which I experienced too!).

A pointer to my archive directory would be fine, I guess.

I'd still like to be available on the main site, unless you totally don't
want that.  In that case, I'll drop the current patches (or make them less
visible) and add a pointer off to your site.

Updating two sites is painful - in fact, currently this is not happening. And 
making the patches available through SourceForge.net is double-slow.

Another idea about this, is for me to have an account on Sourceforge and being 
a Project Admin (I already have the "blaisorblade" account on 
sourceforge.net).

So I could also make sure that the Web-Site is updated from CVS periodically. 
The build could happen either before putting stuff in CVS, with build results 
in CVS, or after (I'd prefer after, but that is no problem).

Bye

I just made you an admin of the SF project with all the permissions I could
find.

I need to sync up CVS more often, which I haven't needed to do in the past
because I'm the only one who ever fiddled it.
