Well, its done. The latest dark-sources release has a ton of scheduler changes all around and a smbfs DoS fix (all dark-sources users and recommended to upgrade).

as2-patch.diff | Complete as2 patchset which fixes many security holes and bugs
plugsched.diff | Plugsched 2.0 which includes zaphod and staircase

Notes: Changing the CFLAGS of the kernel could resault in a unuseable kernel. Some of you might be saying "WTF, your defaulting
deadline?" so heres my reason, stablity. Deadline is stable, clean and simple, its not likely to have as many bugs as AS or CFQ, which
makes it simpler to work with.

Edit: Fixed some typo's, menuconfig-name is gone now. dang, i always forget the diff link. dark-sources is now a source-forge project.

dark-sources is officaly a sourceforge project and users of dark-sources should use the sourceforge mirrors and only dcaf-security.org as a last resort, as bandwidth isn't cheap .
