From: Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au> To: kbuild-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Announce: Kernel Build for 2.5, Release 1.10 is available Date: Sun, 02 Dec 2001 23:48:29 +1100 Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Release 1.10 of kernel build for kernel 2.5 (kbuild 2.5) has been released. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild/, Package kbuild-2.5, download release 1.10. This is now ready to go to Linus for inclusion in 2.5.[12]. There are still items on the todo list but none are show stoppers, the code works as is. The sooner this is in 2.5 and other architectures the better, otherwise I will just be chasing releases and getting no useful work done. kbuild 2.5 currently supports i386 (2.4.16), ia64 (2.4.16-011128), sparc32 (2.4.16), sparc64 (2.4.16). Thanks to Debian for providing a sparc system and Ben Collins for testing sparc32 and doing the sparc64 conversion. The sparc support is against Linus's 2.4.16 kernel, not against the vger tree, the latter is moving too fast. I expect that some tweaking will be required for the vger sparc changes, in particular the removal of config options for netlink. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=99725412902968&w=2 contains information about the base release. Changelog: Upgrade to kernel 2.4.16, this release will also work on kernel 2.5.0. Separate nostdinc into its own [ca]flags so it can be temporarily overridden. Add make defconfig. Correct selections in drivers/pcmcia/Makefile.in. Standardize the asm/offset vs asm-offset include code. Add sparc64 support, Ben Collins did most of the work. Update ia64 support for sn/hp/generic platforms, cannot be tested because none of those platforms compile under kbuild 2.4. Partial work on CML2 support. This release does not fully support CML2, only use it with CML1. CML2 support in progress. TODO: Complete CML2 support. Rewrite core code to improve performance. Handle setup() dependencies correctly, nothing uses setup() yet. Fallback processing for make clean/mrproper using a common source/object tree when .config is not available. Require make *config after any change to [Cc]onfig.in. Add a variable containing the basename of the installable kernel, for use in install scripts. Help convert other architectures to kbuild 2.5.
