2.4.3 : Are all 2.4.2-acXX patches included?
Hi folks,
i wonder if every ac-XX patch from the 2.4.2 Kernel is included in the new 2.4.3 kernel so that every bug in 2.4.2 has been fixed in 2.4.3 ?
Thanx a lot,
Thomas

No, I don't think so - they are different trees.
If you want Alan's latest patches against "2.4.3", you can download:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.4/patch-2.4.3-ac2.bz2
There was also a discussion about this topic some weeks ago - have a look at:

about 30% by volume of 2.4.2ac is in 2.4.3. 2.4.3ac1 will give you the 2.4.2ac tree versus 2.4.3 and its about an 8Mb diff. That represents a mix of stuff Linus apparently didnt want yet (eg the fixes for file size limits) stuff I don't think is ready and stuff that I didnt send because Linus said 2.4.3pre was already 'too big'
