Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) devel meeting: mercurial dayToday Gebi and me had a developer meeting and concentrated on working with mercurial. We figured out the mq-extension (Mercurial Queues, similar to quilt) for working with Linux kernel and the grml patches, improved ACL system on our repositories, set up push notification via mail and extended our mercurial documentation. Thanks for the interesting day, Gebi. Saturday, October 28. 2006

The patchlist for 2.6.18-grml: 1000_2.6.18.1.patch 2500_via-irq-quirk-revert.patch 4005_sky2-v1.9.patch 4010_r8169-8168.patch 4105_dm-bbr.patch 4110_promise-pdc2037x.patch 4150_iteraid.patch 4300_squashfs-3.0.patch 4400_speakup-20060814.patch 5000_grml-version.patch 5001_grml_logo.patch 5002_linux-2.6.17-commandline.patch As you might notice reiser4 is not part of the kernel (and unless there's an official patch this won't change for the upcoming grml-release). The external modules lufs, nozomi, thinkpad and vaiostat don't compile against 2.6.18 yet, the rest of the work has been done. I'm already running grml 0.8-3d with this kernel version. A new develrelease will be available within the next few days... Sunday, October 22. 2006two years of grmlExactly two years ago (on 22nd of october 2004) the first release of grml (named OS04) was released. Happy birthday. :-) Saturday, October 21. 2006launching hg.grml.orgThe grml-team uses Mercurial and we are providing public repositories via hg.grml.org. Documentation regarding our setup and how to work with mercurial can be found at grml.org/mercurial/. Saturday, October 21. 2006
