grml develrelease 0.7-5

Last wednesday I uploaded the new grml develrelease 0.7-5. Quoting the changelog:

* 2.6.17-grml:
  http://blog.grml.org/archives/163-2.6.17-grml.html
  - reiser4 is *not* part of the kernel. Anyone out there missing it?
  - ipw3495 is part of the kernel, the daemon is missing though
[...]
  - I'm thinking about integration of swsusp2 - any votes?
  TODO-list for 2.6.17-grml:
  http://dufo.tugraz.at/~prokop/grml-kernel/2.6.17-grml/TODO
* integrated fvwm-crystal-minimal (packaged by myself, you can find
  it in the grml-repos; replaces fvwm-crystal for space-reasons)
* dropped gcc/g++ 4.0, providing 4.1 instead as the kernel is
  compiled with 4.1
* vi points to vim instead of elvis (thanks, Wolfgang Karall)
* updated packages to debian-pool by 2006-06-21

Now I’ve finished work on the ipw3495 stuff: ipw3945-ucode and ipw3945d are available in the grml repository. The ipw3495 module works out-of-the-box on grml now.

Running some more tests with different kernel configurations showed that swsusp2 very probably won’t find its way to the grml-kernel. On the other hand the tests with SMP were very good, so we might have SMP-support in grml 0.8. Stay tuned. :-)

The TODO list for the the current build of 2.6.17-grml is also very short now: only ivtv and linux-wlan-ng are missing. I’ll package truecrypt, tpm-emulator and grml-kerneladdons for 2.6.17-grml as soon as the final build of 2.6.17-grml is available.
