Small updates

By Jonathan Corbet - October 18, 2007 - 11:25am

The new GNOME development timeline is up; it predicts a GNOME 2.22 release on March 12. The GNOME entry has been updated accordingly.

The x86 merger has happened, so the miscellaneous topics page has been updated accordingly. While I was at it, I added an entry on KGDB - another attempt to get interactive debugger support into the mainline kernel.

The “final -rc release” for 2.6.23 wasn’t, so point to -rc8. Added an entry on credential records. Added an entry on FS-Cache.

Updates for September 24

By Jonathan Corbet - September 24, 2007 - 2:27pm

A few tweaks today:

The current prepatch is 2.6.23-rc7 I changed the forecasts for 2.6.24 a bit; this is beginning to come a little more into focus as the merge window gets closer. Noted the timerfd() difficulties Made the timeframe for syslets more pessimistic. Added another article reference to the large block section.
