And a short status too. Highlights: o unifdef is now included in the kernel source (used by headers_* targets). o lxdialog is now built-in (this did not remove all flickering but thats much easier to fix now). o Added color theme support to lxdialog (see help in menuconfig) o modpost is run twice on vmlinux in normal (modules included) builds - which may result in duplicated warnings. It is run twice to make sure we run modpost in non-modules build. modpost does the section mismatch chcks in all cases o try the new "make V=2" thing. It tells why a target got rebuild. It is good to catch those "why the heck did kbuild rebuild that much after changing just a tine CONFIG_ option". All of this is in latest -mm, and git trees at kernel.org. Outstanding kbuild issues (I should fix a few of these for 2.6.18): o make -j N is not as parallel as expected (latest report from Keith Ownens but others has complained as well). I assume it is a kbuild thing but has no clue how to fix it or debug it further. o symlinked output directory is no good (Andi Kleen) o dependency errors in scripts/ (Olaf Hering) o fix -Wshadow in scripts/ (Jesper Juhl) I add quite a few warnings in lxdialog patch serie :-( o Add a few more color themses from Jan Engelhardt o bugzilla has a few more issues that needs some love & care Sam Jan Engelhardt: kconfig: linguistic fixes for Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt kbuild: linguistic fixes for Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt kbuild: linguistic fixes for Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt Magnus Damm: kbuild: ignore references from ".pci_fixup" to ".init.text" Matthew Wilcox: kconfig: support DOS line endings Olaf Hering: remove RPM_BUILD_ROOT from asm-offsets.h Sam Ravnborg: kbuild: consistently decide when to rebuild a target kbuild: add unifdef kbuild: replace use of strlcpy with a dedicated implmentation in unifdef kbuild: use in-kernel unifdef kbuild: create output directory for hostprogs with O=.. build kbuild: remove debug left-over from Makefile.host kbuild: modpost on vmlinux regardless of CONFIG_MODULES kbuild: make V=2 tell why a target is rebuild kbuild: make -rR is now default kbuild: preperly align SYSMAP output kbuild: add missing return statement in modpost.c:secref_whitelist() Sam Ravnborg: kconfig/lxdialog: refactor color support kconfig/lxdialog: add support for color themes and add blackbg theme kconfig/lxdialog: add a new theme bluetitle which is now default kconfig/menuconfig: lxdialog is now built-in kconfig/lxdialog: let behave as expected kconfig/lxdialog: support resize kconfig/lxdialog: fix make mrproper - 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/
