 |
|
========================================
warning: Do not bug the gentoo devs abouts this patchset
If you have problems, contact Tiger or me, or post in this thread.
========================================
beyond4.1:
more maintenance, fixed unionfs, updated to ck11
beyond4:
Just a maintenance update guys, ck8 to ck10, addition of hdaps due to a request, and updated unionfs. I've got the ebuild ready for release this time too.
Beyond Sources
From the makers of -archck, and -nitro. iphitus and Tiger683
That single patchset has arrived, -beyond. Beyond will have both, a stable (ArchCK/CKO like) branch, and an unstable (nitro like) branch available via git.
The beyond stable tree is a patchset based on the CK patchset. It aims to include a variety of popular features and updates that have not yet made it to the vanilla kernel, while remaining relatively stable. Con Kolivas' CK patchset is the most important part of beyond stable tree, as it provides the great interactivity and responsiveness improvements that it is noted for.
VMWare users need to use the ~arch package
Undervolt patch users:
The order of the voltage table for undervolting is the same as beyond2, which was reversed from beyond1. Please keep this in mind if you use it, and adjust appropriately to avoid hardware damage!!!
If you use wget to download files from beyond-sources.generation.no, use the "--user-agent=WHATEVER" as command line option
at the _end_ of the command! example: "wget http://someaddres/somefile --user-agent=MyFunkyUserAgent"

I'm compiling... I would be happy if I could see a "full" changelog; can't find any on the homepage...
Thanks a lot for your work.
Phlogiston
PS: For example, what's about that hdaps patch? I have hdaps here, so I'm very interested....

Ok no problem. I have the hdd spindown "problem" again with this kernel. Is there a dev version based on .17?
Thanks for the link.

No dev version yet, that's kinda -git territory, but seeing as Tiger's been busy, I might hack one up. Did the spindown problem occur with beyond3? |

Yes it did, and I am too lazy to try .17-rc version to report to the kernel devs. They marked the bug now as invalid or so

Hey iphitus are you sure that the hdapsd patch is included? Do I need to activate it in kernel config?
Because I get:
| Code: |
hdapsd -d sda -s 10 -a
open(/sys/devices/platform/hdaps/position): No such file or directory
|
/edit: Works! I had it as a module...

Thanks iphitus, I am happy with hdapsd now. But I think that parking the hd is a bit louder and more intensive than in windows, not sure though. Together with the hdd spindown while hibernating this could... became a eeehm ibm warranty thing

Wtf? Are you drunk? =)
Anyone else using hdapsd here? Becuase it seems to be a bit buggy, parking sometimes when nothing happens...

| iphitus, beyond is looking like archck with releases paralleling -stable ck and no dev stuff. Why not just do -archck again or make -beyond formally parallel ck? ( 2.6.16-beyond11) |

Is beyond-sources fully glibc 2.4 r1 compatible?
I ask as i am using jackass and was told that beyond-sources is not yet fully glibc 2.4-r1 compatable!

The absence of dev branch for now is not because i left the project, it's because i don't have enough room to breathe for
now (read: busy).
Besides, the name "beyond" means "beyond the stupid patchsets' competition". Comments like yours tend to start flamewars or needless discussions, so please be careful (no negative intention here ).

Where did you get that from? Sounds like a real ricy statement about the 0.0000000001% performance gain because of some optimized syscall or such
Thanks,

Thats what it was pretty much intended to do. ArchCK under the beyond name, plus some extra patches which Tiger pushes down. Tiger's been pretty quiet, and I've been pretty busy, so there hasnt been a lot coming from upstream. I wont make it formally parallel CK as I simply don't have the time to push out a beyond for every release, and there honestly isnt much of a need to. Most of the CK releases are prompted by stable 2.6.x.y, y releases, which a majority of my users can live safely without for a week or two.
Maybe i'll consider a more stricter, two week update schedule, but I dont think I will parallel CK identically again in the near future.

Ah, I am so stypid. See this happens when you don't sleep well, haven't done anything with portage for couple of months... I did just upgrades to my system, there was lots of them. But first, let me answer to my own question: READ THE FREAKING MANUALS... Thank you.
Great kernel by the way. I think it was a time to get rid of my Intro-sources already...

since beyond3 compiling is making my desktop VERY unresponsive. this is somewhat new and very annoying. i think i will use vanilla for a while. i've yet to see the advantage of this or any other patchset in terms of speed.
