Neither Google nor I know the word "mailine". In the case of me, that's not really a wonder, since I'm not an English native speaker.

None the less, I'd prefer, if a more common or easier to understand word than "mailine" could be used.

That's supposed to read "mainline" aka, the vanilla kernel.org kernel. 
ac-sources is also in serious need of a version bump, I'll update it to the
latest ac patch and fix the typo soon.

Great, I can't find any annoucements for ac7 or even ac6, anyone know what
2.6.11.y patches are included in ac7?
Comment 3 Micheal Marineau (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-21 12:34:02 UTC
typo fixed, and ac-sources are updated to ac7 plus 2.6.11.12
