A bunch of users have been emailing me asking when 4.6 will be unmasked. I |
2 |
really want to get it out the door already but we have a (IMO) substantial |
3 |
blocker. A small number of users have reported that grub built with 4.6 |
4 |
fails to boot their systems. See the last half of bug #360513 for details. |
5 |
That report is actually two bugs, the first one had to do with .text.unlikely |
6 |
sections and was easy to reproduce without boot failures so I was able to |
7 |
accidentally fix it. The second I cannot reproduce and cannot get anyone |
8 |
brave and dumb enough to break their systems in the name of science for me. |
9 |
Several people have promised to go do some testing and have never been heard |
10 |
from again. Whether that is disappointing or ominous is left up to you. |
11 |
|
12 |
My current plan is to wait until someone smarter than me points out the |
13 |
obvious solution. Barring that, I'll be out of the country in a couple weeks |
14 |
and will unmask it when I get back. There should be several willing testers |
15 |
shortly after that. |
