| |
This is the first pre-patch of 2.0.40. It mainly cleans up some stuff and adds a few useful scripts. I've also added an extra-version entry to the KERNELRELEASE. If this causes any trouble, please let me know.
I intend to do quite some cleanup of the kernel-source; my goal is to make it compile with gcc-3.x. This does _NOT_ mean that gcc-3.x will produce a working kernel, at least not on x86, but the code needs some fixups none-the-less; the #endif-fixes are the first changes in this direction. Enjoy (?)
Later v2.0.40-prepatches will also see whitespace-fixes and fixes of at least the most horrid uses of code-formatting. My reasoning here is consistency and making it easier to use the v2.0-kernel for educational purposes, and to simplify my own maintainance work. Feel free to complain. I _might_ care, but I most probably won't :^)
This release is dedicated to all the victims of the terror-attacks vs the United States on the 11th of September 2001.
2.0.40pre1
