Of course, if people don't read the results ... Those automated builds are done after the release. Before the release, the tree is built for ppc64_defconfig, powerpc allnoconfig, 44x_defconfig for powerpc, allmodconfig for x86_64 and defconfig for i386, sparc and sparc64. All this is mentioned in my release notes every day. > Again, the date on that thing is claimed to be September 19th, although i= t=20 > was obviously committed later. September 19 (Australian time) was the last linux-next release. I don't know off the top of my head if the particular patch in question was in next-20080919, but it did contain a version of James' post merge patches. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ --Signature=_Tue__14_Oct_2008_10_44_59_+1100_Lg+tB609GdSff+pz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkjz3XsACgkQjjKRsyhoI8x2egCeNd/q0ntt6N/c9RKPwSe+x4jH tIYAoIG0Oy5jnLKDIj/IFfdOgHdijTad =cKY4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Tue__14_Oct_2008_10_44_59_+1100_Lg+tB609GdSff+pz-- -- 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/
