It's seen a few weeks of testing, all is quiet now, solves a few previously
unsolved bugs in 2.6.19.
I'd also like to request vanilla-sources-2.6.20.6 stable at the same time. I
know it hasn't been in the tree very long, but it should be fine since
gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r5 is based on the same patchset.
Thanks!
2.6.20 doesnt boot on arm atm ;x
You directly stabled it for sparc by carrying over -r4 keywords.
Anyway it's fine this time.
on x86:
$ uname -srp
Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r5 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+
no regressions so far...
Apart from the wakeup issues: A newer alsa-driver has to go stable at least on
x86, too. I think about rc2.

Yes Diego said we want -rc3 for 2.6.20.

Ok. But that still has open issues. Can anyone verify if they should hold us
back?

Out of interest, why?

Why what? Newer alsa-driver, because current stable fails. rc2 because it has
no open bugs and succeeds on 2.6.20. rc3 is ok if the issues are non-issues.

Fails in what way?

It is not intended to work with .20, according to Ticho, so we need a newer
one.
Please file a bug for your issues.
We decided against switching to 2.6.20 simply because we are too close to the
release and don't want to spend the time validating a completely new kernel.
Maybe next time.
^ above comment was in reference to 2007.0
arch teams, now that we aren't under pressure in terms of that release, please
hold off on this until -r6, which I'll release later today (hopefully)

That will of course mean that -r6 will need to be tested for a month or so.
-r6 is out. theres no need for a months testing, the patch acceptance criteria
is very strict. This is entirely an incremental release (and minimal).
OK, then. 2.6.20-r6 looks ok from my side. Needs alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc2 or
later (I have tested _rc2, _rc2-r1 and _rc3).
Looks like Christian forgot to stabilize newer alsa-driver. Did so now,
1.0.14_rc2 is marked stable on x86.
In future please file a dedicated bug (with full info, i.e. the compile error)
when a stable tree package does not compile against a candidate kernel. I do
track these, and would have taken care of ALSA personally if a bug had been
filed earlier.
