If that the case, I wonder if it's possible to get gregkh's full patch put into the Fedora kernel.... would certainly make my life much easier :PLooks like Linus is back from vacation (or at least popping in), as 2.6.18-rc5 hit kernel.org on Sunday. That ought to contain everything gregkh was keeping in his tree, and we ought to have a new rawhide kernel based on -rc5 relatively soon...Doesn't look like (for whatever reason) 2.6.18-rc5 had his patches in it
Looks like we actually switched back to tracking the rc patches instead of gregkh patches back there on the 20th... Tracking gregkh was only temporary, while Linus was away.
as there's still the updated USB core stuff as well as i2c/PCI fixes that haven't been migrated into the kernel yet at:http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/ gregkh-all-2.6.18-rc5.patchIt's about a 1.1Mb patch, mainly geared towards fixing a number of USB issues as well as a few more drivers (including the adutux drive that I require).
We try to stick to as close to upstream as possible, so once those are in Linus' tree, we'll pull them into rawhide, but typically not before.
Almost there with a 2.6.18-rc5-git1-based kernel though... -- Jarod Wilson jwilson redhat com
