Ahoy landlubbers!
Here be t' Linux-2.6.14-rc2 release.
Not a whole lot o' excitement, ye scurvy dogs, but it has t' ALSA, LSM,
audit and watchdog merges that be missed from -rc1, and a merge series
with Andrew. But on t' whole pretty reasonable - you can see t' details in
the shortlog (appended).
Arrr!
Linus

You've been watching entirely too much tv Linus. That commercial
is one of the better examples of the "vast wasteland" that is todays
tv.
Also, where can this wondrous new patch be found as its not made its
way to kernel.org as of 00:45 EDT?

Humm, what are they holding out for, more ram or more cpu?:-)
FWIW, http://master.kernel.org doesn't show it either just now.

Gene,
While kernel.org snapshots will no doubt be working again shortly, you
might want to consider using git. It reduces the amount you have to
download for each release a lot.
It's really easy to grab a copy of git and use it to grab the kernel:
mkdir kernel
cd kernel
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-core-0.99.7.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf git-core-0.99.7.tar.bz2
cd git-core-0.99.7
make install
cd ..
git clone \
rsync://http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git \
linux
cd linux
git checkout
The above is given as an attachment as well because of annoying word wrap
issues with the long url's. Anyway, after that you can stay current with
the latest Linus release with a simple "git pull".
Cheers,
Sean

This doesn't help when the bots get stuck - neither the git repository
nor the ftp space get updated when this happens. I believe both use
the same lock and are probably the same script.

"git pull" is actually simpler in that you don't need to specify a
version. And it will keep you current with HEAD even between official
releases.

Huh? Have you ever used git? Not only do you get very well defined
checkpoints you can instantiate a tree down to any specific commit. And
you get the plus of a complete detailed changelog etc.. "git log".
Really, ketchup doesn't come close to git.

I know, but for multiple people testing daily releases it's much easier to
say -git1 worked -git2 didn't. Sure, for searching the patch `git bisect`
is priceless but for regular testing the -gitx thing comes very handy.
Otherwise you can get a arbitrary intermediate state of linus tree if
you're pulling at the wrong moment. It's actually also faster I suppose
to get one patch than running `git pull` - at least with a cold cache
(it used to be in the 0.1 days of git).
Just my .02,

That's a good point. Guess it would be useful if the HEAD commit was
documented along with each -gitX release.

Look for 41-byte *.id files in snapshots dir.

It is in /pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.x-gity.id

It is. Just get the "id" file that is associated with a snapshot, and it
gives the git commit ID for that state.
So for example, the 2.6.14-rc1-git3 snapshot is associated with the ID
file patch-2.6.14-rc1-git3.id, which contains
v2.6/snapshots(0)$ cat patch-2.6.14-rc1-git3.id
065d9cac98a5406ecd5a1368f8fd38f55739dee9
so once you know that something broke between rc1-git3 and rc1-git4, you
can now do
git bisect start
git bisect good 065d9cac98a5406ecd5a1368f8fd38f55739dee9
git bisect bad bc5e8fdfc622b03acf5ac974a1b8b26da6511c99
and off you go..

Great! Would there be anything standing in the way of having -gitX tags
automatically added to the git repository too?

Only that it doesn't work either today. Kernel stays at 2.6.14-rc1 as of
yesterday (latest were a few NTFS patches), everything up to date.
BTW, the cogito repository is hosed, cg-update can't get needed object
69ba00668be16e44cae699098694286f703ec61d. Fetching the contents by rsync

Yeah, Russell pointed the same thing out a bit earlier. There are 13
commits MIA.

For simply tracking the kernel there isn't much reason to use cogito.
Using native git means fewer problems right now since both cogito and git
are developing quickly with inevitable version skew etc..

Also note that the public git repository is probably suffering from
the same problem as the lack of -rc2. I wonder whether anyone's
reported it to the ftp admins yet (if it hasn't been fixed)?

With my luck, then git will be modified the next day in a
non-backwards compatible way. Murphy's Law you know.
But I'll give it a shot anyway. Any idea how much disk it might need?

Well, things marched right along till I got to the line for git clone
etc.
[root@coyote kernel]# git clone
rsync://http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
linux
bash: git: command not found
Humm, back up & find it put git stuff in /root/bin ?????
[root@coyote kernel]# /root/bin/git clone \
rsync://http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
linux
/root/bin/git-clone: line 2: git-init-db: command not found
* git clone [-l [-s]] [-q] [-u <upload-pack>] <repo> <dir>
So why did it put it in /root/bin? It's there, but not in my $PATH.
And theres no "make uninstall" to clean up the install so I might be
able to cleanly fix the miss-fire... Murphy rides again..

Ok, once all thats done, then anytime I want a snapshot, go there and
do a git checkout, then snapshot copy that dir to
/usr/src/linux-$VERSION, copy the old .config in to this copy, add my
build scripts and go? Anyway, I've just done the above, so we'll
test it out right now.

The attached patch grabs all the .id files from the snapshot directory on
kernel.org and converts them into tags in a local git repository. So
after running "gtags", your example becomes:
git bisect start
git bisect good v2.6.14-rc1-git3
git bisect bad v2.6.14-rc1-git4

SCSI is broken in several cases by a lack of the patch below, which means
some of the regular test boxes can't - James, any chance of getting that
one upstream? (it's cut and pasted, but then you wouldn't want to apply
it anyway without correct "flow" ;-)).

OK, my fault. Your fix is almost correct .. I was going to do this
eventually, honest, because there's no need to unprep and reprep a
command that comes in through scsi_queue_insert().
However, I decided to leave it in to exercise the scsi_unprep_request()
path just to make sure it was working. What's happening, I think, is
that we also use this path for retries. Since we kill and reget the
command each time, the retries decrement is never seen, so we're
retrying forever.
This should be the correct reversal.

FYI, test.kernel.org was able to verify this because 2.6.14-rc2 is
available via ftp, even though the website and git (maybe I'm not
using it correctly) don't seem to be updated yet.

It already is ... unfortunately just after 2.6.14-rc2, but if you use
the latest git head you should get it.

Spiffy - it should catch that tonight then ...

Thats odd. I followed the directions in the message near the head of
this thread, and after I fixed my $PATH to include ~/bin:, it
just worked, and I made a copy of it to my /usr/src dir & built
it. I've been running 2.6.14-rc2 for about 00:02:17 now. And it seems
to be running nominally so far. Or at least thats the version in the
Makefile. :-)

What is the lifetime of this script? The reason I am asking is that
somehow, the 'linux' directory got emptied when I used mc to make a
copy of it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc2, which then built just fine
and I'm running it.
But editing the script so that it only does the stuff from the rsync
line on, I have not been able to duplicate its flawless performance,
instead getting this near the end of the proceedure:
------
[...]
tags/v2.6.14-rc2
sent 563 bytes received 2778 bytes 954.57 bytes/sec
total size is 779 speedup is 0.23
rsync: link_stat
"/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/info/alternates"
(in pub) failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(812)
------
I have now re-ran this 4 times, each time doing an rm -fR on the
'linux' directory, with the same results as above each time.
Is this normal, or am I missing something important (and probably
a 'duh' moment too) that it takes to do a re-run?

I guess having a software error in the kernel would constitute bug-ery
on the high C.

But that pulls the current tree, doesn't it? Not the git release?
For purposes of bug reporting and fixing, I would think that having some
reproducible version is superior. If I say git3, anyone can get it, it
would appear that "git pull" isn't as deterministic.

It pulls the latest git release plus any extra commits that have been made
since, if any. Now, if you have a specific reason to test a -gitX
release you can simply lookup which commit corresponds to the -gitX
release and check it out of the git repository and build it. Actually, I
just posted a script that lets you check out a build by -gitX name instead
of having to manually lookup the corresponding commit id.

There are cases where using the -gitX release helps a bit. But there's
nothing magic about a -gitX release, it's just a collection of whatever
commits existed when the timed build procedure ran.
Using git you get the choice of using -gitX builds or tracking directly
from the most recent commit as the situation demands. Therefore if Linus
commits a fix beyond the latest -gitX release you happen to need, you're
good to go. If you want to track the latest -gitX release, you can do
that with git too.
