    SubjectTux3 report: A Golden Copy
    Date
    All versions of Tux3 are special, we think, but this one is a little 
    more special than all the rest: for the first time, it survives
    repeated fsx-linux runs. That is mainly due to a burst of amazingly
    accurate work by Hirofumi, and finishing up the SMP lock coverage.

    Here is the HowTo again, lightly updated to install the first official
    Tux3 Golden Copy:

       # Get a kernel tree:
       wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.26.5.tar.bz2
       tar -xjf linux-2.6.26.5.tar.bz2
       cd linux-2.6.26.5

       # Get the Christmas tux3 patch and patch the kernel:
       wget http://tux3.org/patches/tux3-2.6.26.5-4
       patch <tux3-2.6.26.5-4 -p1

       # Build linux with tux3:
       make defconfig
       make CONFIG_TUX3=y
       sudo make install

       # Get the Christmas tux3 userspace snapshot:
       wget http://tux3.org/downloads/snapshots/tux3-20081230.tar.gz
       tar -xzf tux3-20081230.tar.gz
       cd tux3/user
       make

       # make a tux3 filesystem
       sudo ./tux3 mkfs /dev/<testpartition>

    Boot and mount!

       cat /proc/filesystems | grep tux3 && mount /dev/<testpartition> /mnt

    Recovery after crash or unexpected shutdown is easy:

    tux3 mkfs <volname>

    In other words, do not expect Tux3 to survive this kind of treatment
    just yet. Atomic commit is on the way, and is the last major change
    planned before starting review.

    Caveats are the same as before:

    http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-fsdevel/2008/12/26/4493214
    "Tux3 for Christmas"

    And finally the usual offer: If you drop by to lend a hand we will
    treat you with respect and admiration for showing such courage, and we
    will make you even more famous than you already are, by carving your
    name in the Tux3 Hall of Fame:
