I'd like to release RC2 sometime in the next 36 hours or so. I've
made numerous builds since RC1, but all of them have had at least some
kind of known issue, so I would prefer to wait until we can put out a
real "Release Candidate". That said, the release engineers could sure
use help with the following things :
1) x86 floppy overflow. The Linux module requires sysvipc, but
this has not been made into a module on -STABLE. There are a
number of possible solutions.
a. MFC the module code. (Large impact, risky.)
b. Put sysvipc back in the boot kernel, and remove other
features or devices. (safest, but what to remove?)
c. Put sysvipc back in the boot kernel, and accept one of
Matt or Ian's patches to remove macro bloat. (nice
solution, but a little risky to touch NFS code and other
area this late in the cycle).
2) Building X on the Alpha. The 3.3.6a patch causes all kinds of
problems on the Alpha architecture. =20
Any ideas? Thanks,
- Murray
