There is some code around, but there are a ton of other
things asking for attention at the moment ;(

Ok, I've merged stuff from more people, and 2.5.44 is out there. We're
getting closer, folks.
And for the ext 8 days (starting _now_) it is totally unnecessary to try
to send me patches or cc me on the discussions about what needs to be
merged or not. I won't read it, and when I get back I will likely just
flush the whole inbox, since there's no way I can try to catch up _and_
try to merge some final pieces before the feature freeze at the same time.
I've asked various people to act as merge-points for me while I'm gone,
and to avoid having them mailbombed or pressured into accepting stuff they
don't really want to, I won't even tell who they are ;)
Anyway, the 2.5.44 patches are all over the map, see for yourself in the
appended changelog.
I repeat: while I'm gone, please use linux-kernel as a central point for
discussion, and I assume that all the normal suspects will maintain their
own set of fixes for it. Don't fill my inbox,
Linus

Perhaps this is good reason to delay the freeze for an additional 2 weeks or
so? I fail to see the necessity of rushing into a freeze, especially when
it seems obvious that people are trying to merge code which hasn't been
adequately tested. I think Hans Reiser and others have brought up valid
points that the freeze is happening too soon. I tend to agree, especially
looking back at the timetable surrounding 2.1.X development. Since I'm not
a contributor, I know my opinion doesn't count for much. Still, as a user
I think it is important not to write of new features just because they
didn't make the "arbitrary" freeze date. Again, I really don't see what
the rush is all about.
Just my .02 (US),
Nicholas

The same thing will happen. You will always get people rushing to get
their projects into the kernel just before a feature freeze no matter
what date gets set.
> Again, I really don't see what the rush is all about.
It's only a rush because that's what people with their features are doing.
The deadline of October 31 was set at the kernel summit on Ottawa around
the middle of June.
The whole idea of shortening the feature development time is to (hopefully)
shorten the stabilisation time after, and hopefully get 2.6 out earlier.
This then means 2.7 can open earlier.
Although this means that there will be fewer features between each stable
version, hopefully the stable version series will stabilise earlier.
Oh, and Oct 31st is one deadline we're trying not to miss. 8)

But now would be a good time to recapitulate things which Linus might have
forgotten in the patching frenzy.
E.g. my configuration system is ready and still waiting to be merged.

Yes. If we only consider new arch-independent features which are actively
being pushed at the moment and are feature complete, I get the following
(much stolen from Guilluame: thanks!):
- Build option for Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) (Karim Yaghmour)
- Kernel Probes (Vamsi Krishna S)
- High resolution timers (George Anzinger, etc.)
- EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System) (EVMS team)
- Device Mapper (lvm2) (Alasdair Kergon, Patrick Caulfield, Joe Thornber)
- New config system (Roman Zippel)
- In-kernel module loader (Rusty Russell)
- Unified boot/parameter support (Rusty Russell)
- Hotplug CPU removal (Rusty Russell)
- ext2/ext3 extended attribute & ACLs support (Ted Ts'o)
The rest (eg. hyperthread-aware scheduler, connection tracking optimizations)
don't really qualify as major new features as far as I can tell.
To ensure none of these get simply missed (rather than an actual decision
not to include them), it'd be nice to actually get "NAK"s once Linus gets
back. And at least if we have a finite "possible" list, we can judge how
frozen we really are.
It's a relatively short list: how many am I missing? (Dave?)
Rusty.

I guess much of this is now early 2.7.x stuff. Does mean more time to
get it really clean and to figure all the hotplug cpu issues before they
hit the official Linus tree
The big one missing is 32bit dev_t. Thats the killer item we have left.
The rest is mostly driver work, and some forward porting of major 2.4
features not yet in 2.5.
I'd love the split console stuff if it was ready but its not vital, and
I really want to get ucLinux merged or mostly merged

Oh other one I missed - DVB layer - digital tv etc. Pretty much
essential now for europe, but again its basically all driver layer

Only a couple days to go before feature freeze.
And many changes since last week... due in large part
to recent discussions about what "mergeable" means.
The Web version is as usual at:
http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/
The list should map pretty closely to the latest
Crunch Time list sent out by Rob.
Enjoy!

Many new big items merged in the last few days:
IPsec, CryptoAPI, LVM2 (device-mapper), Digital Video Broadcasting layer, etc.
And still a long list of pending items marked as "Ready".
Oh, and Halloween is tomorrow.... :-)
