Of course, I don't have a clue when the next release will be because the timing is driven by perception-of-stability. But I can guess. Current kernel version: 2.6.13-rc5-git3 ETA for 2.6.13: August 12-19 Status of subsystem trees: 3190002 git-acpi.patch 68299 git-alsa.patch 96 git-arm.patch 100 git-arm-smp.patch 31799 git-audit.patch 113 git-cpufreq.patch 14257 git-cryptodev.patch 107590 git-drm.patch 122 git-drm-via.patch 112 git-ia64.patch 109 git-input.patch 32153 git-ipsec.patch 4781 git-jfs.patch 41254 git-kbuild.patch 21659 git-libata-adma-mwi.patch 17964 git-libata-chs-support.patch 36338 git-libata-ncq.patch 21535 git-libata-passthru.patch 3944 git-libata-promise-sata-pata.patch 91 git-libata-upstream-fixes.patch 85 git-libata-upstream.patch 96 git-mmc.patch 7729 git-mtd.patch 255866 git-netdev-chelsio.patch 10606 git-netdev-e100.patch 1290162 git-netdev-ieee80211-wifi.patch 48220 git-netdev-sis190.patch 4899 git-netdev-smc91x-eeprom.patch 132 git-netdev-upstream-fixes.patch 178991 git-netdev-upstream.patch 955 git-net-gregkh-i2c-w1-netlink-callbacks-fix.patch 443989 git-net.patch 101 git-nfs.patch 119 git-ntfs.patch 1321859 git-ocfs2.patch 88683 git-scsi-block.patch 331078 git-scsi-misc.patch 121 git-scsi-rc-fixes.patch 34584 git-serial.patch 1890 git-sparc64.patch That's all 2.6.14 material - no subsystem merges pending. Open bugs: This is based on my reading of what's real and of what's worth attending to. Quite a few things get culled up-front. There are several emailed bug reports which are probably live bugs but they have gone stale hence I have asked the reporters to raise bugzilla reports, so more post-2.6.12 bugs will appear as the reporters retest 2.6.13-rc6. I really don't want to have to track bugs which aren't in bugzilla. If an emailed bug report comes in and we can address it within a few days and a few emails then fine. If that doesn't happen I'll be asking reporters to open bugzilla reports. All bugs reported prior to the 2.6.12 release have been discarded. I'll henceforth track bugs across succeeding major release, so this list will just grow. There are 60 bugs here. They're almost all post-2.6.12 regressions. Longer-term we simply have to do better than this, else we'll stabilise at a pretty buggy level. No matter what process changes we make, the bottom line is that developers/maintainers will need to spend more of their time working with reporters on fixing bugs. If you wish to provide an update on one of the below bugs, please do it in bugzilla if it's bugzilla-based. Or in reply to the original email thread if it's email-based. Failing all that, please at least rewrite the Subject: when replying so I don't lose my mind, thanks. Lots of USB stuff, some ACPI and we seem to have broken parallel-IDE. idr_remove Looks like SELinux is removing IDR entries which don't exist.
