Bug queue is empty. The code has passed scrutiny and hands-on use by the rest of the kbuild team. There's a known rulebase glitch near extra-device handling of SCSI disks which is not critical and should be a one-line fix by somebody who knows what is actually going on there. Things have come together nicely: (a) the code is ready and tested, (b) the rulebase needs only trivial cleanups, and (c) the Configure.help file is down to only 14 missing entries, with 6 of the remaining promised any time now. It looks like we'll actually be ready to do a major-number release after 1.9.9. -- Eric S. Raymond "America is at that awkward stage.
