Hi all,
first I wish you a Happy New Year !
I spent the day updating the 2.4-hf branch (in fact, mostly the scripts themselves), because there have been several important fixes since last release (2005/11/04). I counted 7 security fixes, 3 major fixes and 6 minor fixes. This update will bring you to the same level as 2.4.33-pre1. Please check the changelog appended to this mail for more details.
As I previously stated it, the numbering scheme has changed so that all versions now share the same -hf suffix. For instance, this new version is numbered '-hf32.1', which means that the fixes are up-to-date with the first hotfix for mainline 2.4.32. Eventhough the name is ugly, it will then become obvious for anyone that 2.4.29-hf32.1 is late when 2.4.33-hf is out. As a side effect, I will only announce the lastest release, as everyone can understand that older ones are available too.
As nearly two months have elapsed since last -hf (2.4.31-hf8), a lot of things have been merged. In fact, I had even made a 2.4.31-hf9 which was never released due to a lack of time. So you'll find references to it in the changelog but it will not be available for download as it is already obsolete (except upon request, but I doubt anyone will be interested). I intend to be able to release more often as I found how to make my scripts benefit from git to grab the patches that I consider useful.
I've built the kernel for i686 with all modules enabled to ensure everything was OK, but did not boot it. I've not built incremental diffs, but I can make them upon request if anyone needs them. Right now, patches for kernels 2.4.29 to 2.4.32, both split up and as a whole patch, with and without extraversion are provided.
As usual, I'm sure that Grant will be glad to do a full rebuild for all of his machines and post the results online (Thanks Grant ;-)).

Happy kernel hacking for 2006, Willy
