Created attachment 22783 [details] New documents
My russian is a bit rusty, but this document has some good pointers to the users. Is any of the russian folks interested in translating it to English? If not, I can do it (but my TODO list is growing insane :)
I'll take. Also I guess I've got couple of usefull points to add to this HOWTO.
Created attachment 23006 [details] English translation.
Here is a translation of this guide to English. I've made couple of changes to the orignal, which are marked as comment at the moment. Sergey, could you plz have a look at them and tell if they are ok?
Created attachment 23030 [details] Migrate to 2.6 kernel HOWTO. This is an updated version of the tranlsation. Please review.
On my mind, it's ok. The new version documet on russian is done too.
Created attachment 23038 [details] new russian version new russian version
Created attachment 23559 [details] [en] migration-to-2.6.xml Some coding style applied. Some typos and language mistakes corrected. Some <!--comments--> added, __please review__.
Is this document still needed? It covers dependencies which are automatically fulfilled when using Portage. Other aspects are still useful for 2.4-users though. Perhaps this guide can be finished off and submitted?
Created attachment 43107 [details] migration-to-2.6.xml rewritten Ok. Here's a completely new document. I've basically rewritten what was posted here already and structured it differently also. I hope this is ok, and I'm really grateful for the work posted here already - other than a few parts out of date and some comments I disagreed with, it has been really useful. Oh, i've also taken on the full monty and talked about migrating from devfs to udev and oss to alsa too, plus some chitchat about NPTL. This is what I (as a kernel developer) hope we can have solidly in place for 2005.0. Please take a look - if its OK, I'd like to get it in CVS soon. I'm planning to coordinate this with some forum users performing the migrations and update the document with their feedback.
Hi Tim, could you take a quick look over the file I just attached to this bug and let me know what you think? Thanks :)
Created attachment 43182 [details] migration-to-2.6.xml v2 A few minor updates mostly based on Tim's feedback. The upcoming diff should make these changes more obvious to you.
Created attachment 43183 [details, diff] diff showing the modifications since yesterday
Created attachment 43184 [details] migration-to-2.6.xml v3 Minor amendment... s/it is inevitable that things/it is sometimes inevitable that things/ Sven, we (me+plasmaroo) are happy with this for now. Could you please fix this up and commit it when you have the time. thanks :)
Taking over to speed up process on Daniel's request
Created attachment 43623 [details] /doc/en/migration-to-2.6.xml edited v3 For the record, edited version that has just been committed. BTW, running xmllint would have been nice. Non-compliance to guide.dtd is understandable from anyone not used to GuideXML, but file was not even proper xml. Sigh. Anyway, all issues have been fixed.
Now in CVS and linked from main index. Thanks a lot for a well-written comprehensive guide.
