text: Hi,the following things seem to miss:o the ncpfs DST fix (20-ncpfs-dst.patch from linuxhq)o the ncpfs inode fixes from Bill Hawes (ncp_30-patch on linuxhq)o a lot of TCP fixes from pre2 (including SO_BINDTODEVICE)o a small patch for tulip.c, without it users who compile into kernel willhave problems:--- tulip.c-pre3 Tue Aug 5 13:46:57 1997+++ tulip.c Tue Aug 5 13:50:28 1997@@ -499,7 +499,7 @@ #if defined (MODULE) return cards_found; #else- return 0;+ return (cards_found > 0 ? 0 : -ENODEV); #endif }o some isofs fixeso the current released NCR-BSD driverThat are the most important missing ones from my point of view.One suggestion, why don't you simply scan thru the patches on linuxhq fromtime to time and send your personal ratings (silly, interesting, pleasetest further, recommended, optional, etc) to the maintainer?If such ratings would be tagged to the patches, the trustability would bemuch better and the need for new kernel releases would decrease (at leastmine ;-)Ciao,Franz.At 15:52 04.08.97 -0700, Linus Torvalds wrote:>>Ok,>> now is the time for people to start verifying that the new pre-2.0.31>patches so far actually work.
