2.6.26: almost there
Posted by freesoftnews on Jun 30, 2008 in Linux • No commentsI fell a little behind on the weather forecast pages, sorry for that. I plead that I was vacationing with the in-laws and would have gotten into serious trouble had I gone too near a keyboard. Anyway, things are caught up now.
The current prepatch is 2.6.26-rc8; when he posted it, Linus said that it might just be the last one. Given that this development cycle is smaller (in terms of the amount of code merged), I had thought that it would come together a little quicker; thus the “late June†prediction which had appeared on the forecast pages. Well, it’s late June, and we’re not there yet. More worryingly, the length of the regression list is about the same as it has been for the last month or so. My guess is that there will be an -rc9 before it’s all done, but I’ve been wrong before.
