Code:

kernel/sched.c: In function `sched_init':
kernel/sched.c:4795: error: `cache_decay_ticks' undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/sched.c:4795: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
kernel/sched.c:4795: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [kernel/sched.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2


Well I forgot to remove SMP which I didn't need :oops:
Compiling now.

the dark version is simply fitted to deal with the slight changes I made to staircase so it would work with dark.

I'll look into this problem and ask con about this, see if he knows a quick fix.

hey I know you have talked about this before, but I wanted to know why you dont just include reiser4 by default in your patchset, reiser4 may not be a stable choice for a FS for some people, but the code isnt broken, and it dosent break anything (that I've ever heard of/experienced) in terms of other patches. Its not like you have to compile it into your kernel if you dont use it.

I have no problem applying a patch or selecting a USE varriable for an ebuild, but it just seems like something that deserves to be a standard kernel feature, its marked [experimental] so use is already forwarned

This is more of a policy/personal conflict then anything else, I won't include it directly because reiser4 is still in very active development and is considered to be experimental. I am focused towards my patchset being stable on all levels, meaning what I include is more cerified to work. With reiser4 I can't give that kind of certification, so I refuse to include it by default due too this. There's also the fact that I can't test it, because I don't have any reiser4 partitions and don't plan to make any for testing.

On a side note, 2.6.11.7-dark5 is already sitting here, the changes are the removal of all cleanup's (including kj) and the addition of the alps tapping fix. This also fixes the smp compile problems.

Sounds like influence by Karen McTrish aka Carmen McFish :P

reiser4-for-2.6.11-3.patch.gz patches cleanly on this patchset, just thought you might like to know.

Yes, good too know because my reiser4 addon is quite out of date, heck I haven't updated it since I created it.

Its Ciaran McCreesh and I will simply tag my changes with -rX, yes there was an s10.7_s11-r1.diff...... it was just screwy.
