Cool. I just grabbed the URL off of G.B's list (I'm not even going to TRY to
spell his name again just now). it would be nice if the october 19 link was
up as soon as the "latest" link was up: right now I can't post a URL to it in
a way that will remain referring to what I was talking about after he posts
the next update. :(
Another thing I've noticed somebody still hoping to shoehorn into 2.5 is Roman
Zippel's new kernel configuration system, which is here:
Announcement:
http://lists.insecure.org/lists/linux-kernel/2002/Oct/6898.html
Code:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/lc/
That was listed as a "beta" on the status list, I guess at version 1.1, it has
now been promoted. (Anything else on the beta that's still trying to make it
into 2.5? The 27th is sunday, meaning Linus should be back at transmeta on
monday. Assuming 2.4.45 ships on the 31st, that would be the following
thursday...)
Ted Tso has also been posting new ext2/ext3 code with extended attributes and
access control lists.
Announcement:
http://lists.insecure.org/lists/linux-kernel/2002/Oct/6787.html
Code (chooe your poison):
bk://extfs.bkbits.net/extfs-2.5-update
http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.5
Apparently generic ACL support went into 2.5.3 (the status list again), but I
guess it wasn't added to EXT2. I suppose this makes this a good candidate
for inclusion then. :)
So, 11 items from the 2.5 status list (in -aa, in -mm, and "ready"), plus
kexec, kernelconfig, and ACL for EXT3. I believe this brings the total
number of pending patchsets still hoping for 2.5 inclusion to 14.
I can repost the full list if nobody beats me to it, but I think I'll wait to
see who else pipes up first. :)
