2.6.10-mm3 now has inotify already patched in, so that's one less patch for the -mm version of nitro.

The next nitro version will be based off 2.6.11-rc1, and I'm going to get started on it as soon as the appropriate patches are released (ac/mm/ck). If mm takes longer than a day or two more than ck to come out, I'll be making a ck only release of nitro. Either way, it won't be until the ck comes out, and I don't think that will be for at least a day.

that'll be good because 2.6.11-rc1 already has quite a few of the patches that are in the current -mm.

Unfortunately I can't give you a definitive answer. I might have been using a different config and there might thus have been something that is done differently...
The music skips with all players..
This nitro-2.6.10-nitro2 is very good...time flies and soon I'll be downloading a new nitro release in the hope of that bleeding edge...

LoL... The paint still isn't dry on my install of 2.6.10-nitro3, and you're already thinking of abandoning 2.6.10 entirely? I agree, you shouldn't let anybody else get the first crack at 2.6.11, and when you release it, I'll be all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake, but i'm keeping my stable 10-nitro3 in the bootloader...

Really good work, Darckness. Keep at it, and you'll have a permanent nitro user.
EDIT: BTW, the nvidia drivers are still broke if you enable 4K stacks... had to endure a kernel recompile to fix that one...

@KoolKam:
it ought be
| Code: |
patch -p1 -i ../patchname.patch
|
I broke my fglrx source-dir so it will take another evening...
@Darckness: I tried io_remap_blabla with ati, it has 2 defs:
one is a def for the proper remap_pfn_range, and another needs fifth arg, I went for the pfn change, its the right thing to do.....
And I would suggest the 16k pacth as a stable addition, no issues till now.........
EDIT: remap_page_range also removed in 2.6.11.....*LOL* i oversaw the __deprecated |

Last few days my mouse has been jumping around rather a lot. Sometimes just to one side , sometime right to the edge of the screen.
This coincides with moving to nitro4 but the fault maybe elsewhere.
Anyone else seeing this sort of behaviour?
Thx

I had that, I spent ages fiddling with settings trying to get it to work. It turns out my mousemat was dirty.
Easthero: Which kernel are you currently using? I had difficulty compiling this kernel with some kernel versions. I switched back to a known stable kernel and 2.6.10-nitro4 compiled just fine. |

LOL, not far wrong, I was using the black underside of the mat with a Logitec optical mouse. Apparently it could not see where it was going!
Thank goodness for the forum , I'd have spend days (as you probably did) playing around with mouse polling and God knows what else.
Thanks a lot

Not yet, but by all accounts it's a very handy update to the staircase scheduler.

easthero: the mm patch needs to be applied after the regular nitro4 patch.
I think I might go insane waiting for ck/mm to come out. If it takes TOO long, I might just have to hack ck4 into it!

I really can't download this patch. I just cannot connect to pickledonion.net. The ping is ok, about 50-60ms but everytime I attempt to dl it, Firefox keeps trying to connect but fails. Can anyone post an alternative link for the patch (not the ebuild) or send it to me: a13x_home at yahoo dot com ?
Anyway, why don't you make it available directly at nitro-sources.org as it used to be ? |

a13x: I can't put it on nitro-sources.org because that's seppe's site and I'm not seppe. I think there's a few people here who could probably mirror it, but failing that I'd recommend trying wget to retrieve it instead of firefox.

Yes, that's what I guessed too, but I can't connect to Con's maillist to read the details. It looks like he bumped the Staircase version number to 10, so I'm guessing it's a significant update. Can't wait to try it! |

wget is what's failing to connect.. I'll mirror it if need be, although I can't guarantee 100% availability either (one must play with his new Logitech MX1000 in both Windows and Linux  ). |

The same thing happens with wget .....
Won't seppe give you permission or something to mirror the patch ? AFAIK he is studying ATM and you are in charge of the nitro patch so I see no reason for not mirroring it.
edit;
Thx Legoguy, I'm waiting for the link. |

It might be an idea if you could mirror it, it would seem that a handful of people can't get it - I'm not worried about it too much from a server point of view as it is only a very small percentage - but I can't seem to work out why these few can't connect, there seems to be no link (and in all honesty, I would much prefer 100% are able to connect).
If someone has any bright ideas as to why someone wouldn't be able to connect at all to the site (bear in mind, I have had 6.5GB of nitro downloads since Jan 1st so it is literally a handful of people) I would love to hear from you... |

a13x: It's not an issue of getting "permission" to mirror the patch. I can put the patch wherever I want to. The issue is getting a place with good speed and a good monthly quota (free) which has an ftp account that links to a web site. PickledOnion has graciously given me access to his site which provides all of those (and definitely surpasses "good" speed!). seppe will be back within a week if I'm not mistaken, and then everything will be back on the nitro-sources site.
Notes on the future of me and nitro-sources:
I've been speaking with seppe about this, and we've worked out a pretty good system for future releases which should allow us to provide excellent QA (something that I know has been one of the few/only weak points of this patchset), stay up-to-date with newly released patches, be able to handle all of your requests, AND have the ability to be both highly experimental and stable at the same time.
I can't tell you exactly what the plan is or what future nitros will hold (still kind of a secret ), but I can tell you that the experimental nitros will only be optionally experimental, just like this one. The want-mm flag looks like it will probably be here to stay, although I'll be changing it to "want-experimental" in the next version to clear up confusion. mm patches might not always be available!
New stuff to expect in the next release:
| Code: | Genetic scheduling algorithm
16k stacks
2.6.11-rc1 |
If anyone wants any other patches that I've forgotten about or are just new, let me know soon!
EDIT: Just finished porting the genetic stuff from 2.6.9. So irritating...

good to hear Darckness. You do good work.
Yet ANOTHER audio information update!
According to the mailing list, which i know you probably read, Con's latest scheduler version reportedly resolves all audio problems, among other things.

Thanks for that, it will help those who can't get to my site .
One small point though, you might want to change the ebuild to point to your site or people will have the same problem....  |
