[ANNOUNCE] 2.5 kernel errata list

[ANNOUNCE] 2.5 kernel errata list

Based on a suggestion and several people saying they would find it
useful, I'm keeping a kernel errata page on the Linux Test Project
website at http://ltp.sourceforge.net/errata

I'll try to maintain a list of known fixes for blocking problems with
the most recent kernel on this page.  By "blocking", I mean anything
severe enough to keep you from testing the kernel (can't compile, panic
on boot, catches your hair on fire, etc).  This is _not_ a replacement
for the bug tracking system.  I won't put anything here that doesn't
have a fix or a workaround.  So if you're looking for an exhaustive list
of problems for a given kernel, look at bugme, but if all you want is a 
list of known fixes to get you up and running quickly, the errata list
should give you a quick and easy answer.

If you have any suggestions to make this more useful or if you see
anything I've missed, please let me know.

Thanks,
Paul Larson

How is this different from the 2.5 bugzilla database ?

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/

Sorry for the late reply, I'm down with the flu atm.

The bugzilla database tracks problems, whether they are fixed or not. 
 The errata list aims to be a quick (hopefully short) list of known 
fixes to problems.  Bugzilla also tracks all types of problems where the 
errata list will usually only contain fixes to major, blocking problems. 
 Basically I'm trying to keep a list that will help people quickly find 
the diffs against releases that will help them get up and running enough 
to test with.
