New tree started ;)

New tree started ;)

[Michael Cohen]

Howdy.

After hanging out for a while on openprojects.net, I've decided to
create a new 2.4 tree.  I feel that there's need for a rapidly
developing "-ac alike" tree, and so, here we go.  Feel free to test it. 
I've attached patch-2.4.17-mjc1.bz2.  New versions can be found at
http://iamnotanimatedtoexplode.com/patches/mjc. Currently the patch
includes:

Reverse Mapping patch #9			(Rik van Riel)
Preemptible Kernel Patch			(Robert Love)
Lock-Break Patch				(Robert Love)
CPU affinity /proc entry			(Robert Love)
Netdev-random					(Robert Love)
Software Suspend				(Gabor Kuti?)
Real Time Scheduler for Linux			(?)
IDE updates (Taskfile IO and others)		(Andre Hedrick}

Ideally I'd like to have this maintained (possibly using bk) by those at
#kernelnewbies.  

Linus once said something about having more trees being a good thing. 
I'll try to keep this as close to the 2.4.x line as possible, though. :)

Great, I'll take a look. thanks.

Server stuff is important to me too, though -preempt and such are for
workstations. Once 2.4.18 is released I'm going to include ppc fixes as
well.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for doing this. Could you tell me which criteria you have to
choose patches to go in? I see grsecurity in the to be merged queue
which is not likely to ever go into 2.4.x. It's more likely to be 
converted to the LSM framework (parts of it if still needed) and then 
integrated into 2.5.x.

Could you maybe out of consideration for AC use the newest 2.4.x
kernels, in this case 2.4.18pre1?

Happy New Year 2002 and best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz

AFAICT, the grsecurity patch include the Solar Designer non executable
patch. And AFAICT, this one won't be included in the main kernel tree.

My point is that this patch is against previously taken decision. So why
would it be included in such a tree ?

I have no problem with that.
I have about 5mbit worth of SDSL (quad 1.25), but my provider would
probably get mad if my bandwidth gets eaten up.  I'd appreciate it
actually. :)

Please send a GPG key, desired user name and a brief description of what 
you plan to do to ftpadmin@kernel.org.  It might take a week or so to 
get done.
