Linux 2.6.18.2
From: Chris Wright
Date: Fri Nov 03 2006 - 21:10:58 EST
We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.18.2 kernel.
The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.
I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.18.1 and 2.6.18.2, as it is (barely) small enough to do so.
The updated 2.6.18.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
www.kernel.org/git/
(note: the main -stable git tree update will lag a half-day or so for this one,
use git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chrisw/linux-2.6.18.y.git for
now)
thanks,
-chris
