MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 760 Lines: 16 Was hoping 2.6.17 would be out within one week, doesn't look like it is going to happen. My thesis defense is coming up, need to merge my patches against some kernel (requiring 2.6.16.1 looks weird). On a machine that 2.6.16.1 runs bug-free, is it sane to assume 2.6.17-rc3 will as well? If it fails outright, I can revert, but if it is unstable I'm going to have some problems. (You would be surprised how long it took me to discover a mistake that sys_rename(on any filesystem) -> deadlock with my custom patch). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
