Description Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-07 21:34:54 UTC
It's seen a few weeks of testing, all is quiet now, solves a few previously unsolved bugs in 2.6.19.
Comment 1 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-07 23:55:19 UTC
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!
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-04-08 08:38:02 UTC
2.6.20 doesnt boot on arm atm ;x
Comment 3 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-08 13:10:45 UTC
ppc64 done
Comment 4 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-09 12:30:23 UTC
You directly stabled it for sparc by carrying over -r4 keywords.
Anyway it's fine this time.

Comment 5 Matthias Langer 2007-04-09 23:16:34 UTC
on x86:

$ uname -srp
Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r5 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+

no regressions so far...
Comment 6 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-10 04:04:39 UTC
Marked ppc stable.
Comment 7 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-10 08:36:42 UTC
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. 

Comment 14 Simon Cooper 2007-04-13 10:04:05 UTC
2.6.20-r5 doesn't boot half the time for me (amd64). I think its still got some issues with the MCP51 chipset; see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/748576
Comment 15 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-13 12:15:08 UTC
Please file a bug for your issues.
Comment 16 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-13 19:07:26 UTC
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.
Comment 17 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-14 13:21:04 UTC
^ 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.
Comment 19 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-15 22:11:34 UTC
-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).
Comment 20 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-16 00:32:54 UTC
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).
Comment 21 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-18 14:17:20 UTC
x86 stable
Comment 22 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-19 01:17:26 UTC
Looks like Christian forgot to stabilize newer alsa-driver. Did so now, 1.0.14_rc2 is marked stable on x86.
Comment 23 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-19 13:47:20 UTC
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.
Comment 24 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-26 19:12:53 UTC
amd64 stable
