Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released

Posted by michael on from the recompile-while-watching-the-world-cup dept.

The Pi-Guy writes "It's that time again, yep, another kernel update - 2.5.19 is out there, including lots of drivers ported to the new API, and lots of ia64 and PPC32 fixes! Grab it from your local Kernel.org mirror, or if you're feeling mean, you can grab it directly from kernel.org here. The changelog is also at kernel.org."

  1. Don't Complain! by hkhanna · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Believe it or not, some people ENJOY hearing about the development kernel releases. Every time someone posts a Linux kernel update, you have your 10-20 obligatory trolls about how "we subscribe for this sh*t??" If you don't care about Linux, go to your preferences and exclude it. Otherwise, don't troll.

    Sorry if this is a troll. ;D

  2. Wow! by mosch · · Score: 1, Redundant
    I'm sure a lot of people are going to complain that this is a useless article, and there's no point in advertising incremental progressions in developmental software. These people are missing the big picture. This patch fixes major issues such as:
    • An improperly sorted CREDITS file
    • a typo in dcache.c
    • removal of unused code in the nfs subsystem
    • consolidation of errno definitions
    • the spelling of a contributor's name
    • miscellaneous ia64 fixes
    Thank you slashdot, for keeping me informed, and for understanding the importance of randomly updating the public on the status of developmental software version numbers!
