Running flawlessly: uptime 20:24:19 up 46 days, 21:08, 3 users, load average: 0.05, 0.24, 0.34 I guess it's time to mark it stable.
Mark stable where? Didn't your your arch even (plus it might make more sense to stabilize 2.6.19.2 instead).
Oh, I mean unmask. Sorry. So unmasking time, pls.
Humpf? Where's this masked?
See: http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=vanilla-sources I don't see green spots...
no arch has been specified
Well, I didn't give an arch, intentionally. See http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=vanilla-sources for further infos about which arch should mark a more recent kernel as stable, i.e. I don't see any reason why i.e. for the x86 arch the latest stable kernel should be 2.6.17.13. Kernel.org released 18-tree and 19-tree kernels with many bugfixes. In my opinion the above mentioned site gives a wrong impression to the users about which kernels are stable. Well, there is the warning while installing vanilla-source... but then all kernels should be marked as stable or marked as testing. *just a feedback, not really a bug*
vanilla-sources is unsupported and there is no keywording policy set up there, other than the fact that keywords are deliberately dropped between version changes due to masses of changes every release. If you have a reason to request a specific version stable on a specific arch we may be able to deal with that, but otherwise please concentrate your keyword managing efforts on supported kernels. Thanks :)
Add to stable tree, please: 2.6.18.6, arch x86 I had an uptime of 69 days with kernel 2.6.18.6, running as gateway, server with QoS including netfilter, iptables and most server apps including bind, apache2, postfix, ntpd, nfs, courier-authlib, mysql, snmp, and others. (at the moment, I am running 2.6.19.7, so far no problems, will request adding to stable tree if uptime is larger than 40 days)
x86 stable and closing. What about other arches?
Since 03.03.2007, 2.6.19.7 X86 is running stable with: netfilter, iptables, sensors, nfs, postfix, apache, mysql, courier imap, mrtg, named, snmp, tor ... I guess it's time to add 2.6.19.7 to stable tree for X86.
Adding all other arches for a stabilisation and reassigning to maintainers so they keep track. Maybe vanilla-sources can be cleaned up one day.
x86 stable
s390 will remain on 2.6.16.x until IBM says otherwise ... as for arm, last i tried, 2.6.19/2.6.20 hit some null exception and dont even finish booting :/
Merged with vanilla-sources cleanup bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 173710 ***
thanks a lot, hopefully we get this to the right directions
