Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
This is a quick announcement of the early testing of the genkernel-3.5.0.0 |
4 |
release. |
5 |
|
6 |
The 3.5.0.x series should NOT be considered as stable candidates. As |
7 |
such, I've also removed ALL keywords from 3.5.0.0. |
8 |
|
9 |
Further 3.5.0.x releases will land other major changes hopefully, including |
10 |
updating the included tools. |
11 |
|
12 |
The 3.5.1.x series will hopefully be the next stable candidate series. |

14 |
3.5.0.0: |
15 |
- It turns out the generic+per-arch config was previously merging |
16 |
fragments in the wrong order. Generic settings were overriding |
17 |
per-arch, instead of the opposite. Furthermore, because of this, many arches |
18 |
had a kernel config that had a high chance of being unbootable, if it even |
19 |
compiled. |
20 |
- Many options that included debugging in the generated kernel configs are now |
21 |
disabled. This returns behavior to the older static kernel configs that had |
22 |
these debug options disabled. See these commits for further info: |

36 |
configuration (but may have static configs): |
37 |

Arch Teams: If you want to get automatic kernel config support, please review |
48 |
arch/*/arch-config from a supported architectures, and provide a good |
49 |
hardware-agnostic version for your arch. |
