-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - After a long battle, I've just updated HEAD to 2.6.27-rc3. A few comments: There were significant changes in file permission calls that required a bit of AppArmor rework. Please report any regressions you see. Firmware blobs were added to the kernel packages. udev hasn't been updated to locate them yet, so you may run into problems with devices requiring the firmware blobs. ia64, powerpc, and s390 are failing to build the kernel-source package. I expect this is because those architectures eliminated the use of include/asm-$arch. The build process creates an empty directory and links to it, but I suspect that something doesn't like an empty directory and is leaving it out. I haven't yet tried to place a dummy file in that directory. It's failing when it tries to link to a nonexistent target. Can someone with a better knowledge of rpm-fu take a look at this? The binary packages on those arches are failing with several unpackaged files powerpc is failing with an internal compiler error while building ath9k. I hope to gather a bit more information on that tomorrow. As usual, the -xen and -rt flavors are disabled until those features can be re-merged. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkikmsIACgkQLPWxlyuTD7KPbwCgorymu6FfBvFIko3D/wEHCQKN xQoAn3pTZS536YrY1Ow+NUUjrbjcJena =diXq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Firmware blobs were added to the kernel packages. udev hasn't been updated to locate them yet, so you may run into problems with devices requiring the firmware blobs.

Hm, this shouldn't be the case here. Why aren't we building the firmware into the kernel/drivers like we always have been? Otherwise we are going to run into the versioning problems you ran into :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y is in our configs, but it looks like it's building and installing the firmware blobs anyway. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkikzFMACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JedQCbBqPQge855Xwl3DNF0r0O8TWS RZ4Anjc7uvZGKertsonSjNIVLSZGZcyL =lBp4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

That's not good, we need to report that upstream, it's a bug :( thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Can we put them first to /lib/firmware, then change to /lib/firmware/$VERSION later? Putting the identical file by multiple packages works fine with rpm. I basically agree to keep the files in separate directory, but the breakage is worse than the future theoretical safeness. Let's have first the properly working one. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Richard will submit a new gcc to stable today, which fixes this bug. So if you can wait until that is checked in you don't need to apply the workaround ;) Ciao, Michael. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
