Alan Cox kiadta a ket foltja a stabil prepatch kernelhez. Egy új IDE munka vette kezdetét Andre Hedrick által. A cél, hogy az IDE kódot tényleg korrekté és tisztává tegyék. Fokozott figyelemmel kezeljétek. Az fejlesztők nem ajánlják ezt a patchet kritikus rendszerekre.
Letölthető patch-2.4.20-pre2-ac3.gz.
Változások: [+ indicates stuff that went to Marcelo, o stuff that has not,
* indicates stuff that is merged in mainstream now, X stuff that proved bad and was dropped out, - indicates stuff not elevant to the main tree]
The HP merge is now down to 3503 lines pending
Ok this is the next chunk of IDE merges. There is still a lot of cleaning up to be done. You'll see that various stuff is now tagged FIXME. Its all so far long standing stuff or ugly code things that were in the old code too. The goal is to make the IDE code both really clean and really correct. Nevertheless this is a lot of IDE code shuffling. Handle with care treat as test for the moment. This -ac patch isnt recommended on your critical database server 8)
Linux 2.4.20-pre2-ac3

The HP merge is now down to 3503 lines pending
Again treat this one with care. The patch is now a lot smaller as much has been integrated. Marcelo merged highio and while Andre did already have the hooks in place this build has not been tested with highio.
This should get the compile bugs knocked out
