[gentoo-announce] gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r1 released

[Daniel Robbins]

Hi All,

I've just released a brand-new gentoo-sources kernel.  Desktop users
will like this kernel because it is very very fast and include both the
lowlatency *and* preempt patches.  Server people will like this kernel
because it contains a number of nice security-related patches like
grsecurity, freeswan (ipsec) and cryptoapi.  Please note that this
kernel has no XFS in it.  I was able to really enhance this kernel
because I didn't have the huge XFS patch to get in the way.  A full
description of the patches included follows:

# INCLUDED:
#   2.4.19-pre7-ac2 (with a fix for an ACPI compile problem)
#   grsecurity-1.9.4 (with a fix for NVIDIA compile problem)
#   2.4.19-pre7-low-latency
#   htb2 (QoS support)
#   preempt-kernel-rml-2.4.19-pre7-ac2-1.patch
