New tree started ;)
Howdy.
After hanging out for a while on openprojects.net, I've decided to create a new 2.4 tree. I feel that there's need for a rapidly developing "-ac alike" tree, and so, here we go. Feel free to test it. I've attached patch-2.4.17-mjc1.bz2. New versions can be found at
http://iamnotanimatedtoexplode.com/patches/mjc. Currently the patch includes:
Reverse Mapping patch #9 (Rik van Riel)
Preemptible Kernel Patch (Robert Love)
Lock-Break Patch (Robert Love)
CPU affinity /proc entry (Robert Love)
Netdev-random (Robert Love)
Software Suspend (Gabor Kuti?)
Real Time Scheduler for Linux (?)
IDE updates (Taskfile IO and others) (Andre Hedrick}
Ideally I'd like to have this maintained (possibly using bk) by those at #kernelnewbies.
Linus once said something about having more trees being a good thing. I'll try to keep this as close to the 2.4.x line as possible, though. :)

Hello Michael,
Thanks for doing this. Could you tell me which criteria you have to
choose patches to go in? I see grsecurity in the to be merged queue
which is not likely to ever go into 2.4.x. It's more likely to be converted to the LSM framework (parts of it if still needed) and then integrated into 2.5.x.

Could you maybe out of consideration for AC use the newest 2.4.x kernels, in this case 2.4.18pre1?
Happy New Year 2002 and best regards,

AFAICT, the grsecurity patch include the Solar Designer non executable patch. And AFAICT, this one won't be included in the main kernel tree.
My point is that this patch is against previously taken decision. So why would it be included in such a tree ?
