- {/ 2.6.18-rc5-no1 "No? Hell No!" \} -
Release Status: Unstable
Reason: -rc kernel releases, experimental patches
   ---------------------------------
-{ Release-Specific }-
- Finally a new release, based off 2.6.18-rc5-mm1. Both ingosched and staircase code has been synced with the latest sched.c and -ck patchset. More useful patches were grabbed from -ck and also the experimental preempt RCU patches. All -mm hotfixes have also been included. Squashfs has been updated to 3.1-r2 and both SquashFS and UnionFS have been fixed for compiling (at least it was failing to compile on my system. See the Changelog for more changes. Unfortunately, broken out patches are not available in this really, blame me (eremini). Note: eremini is the mainaner of this release, so please direct all bug reports to him.

-{ Patchset-Specific }-
- No-sources is a kernel patchset based on Andrew Morton's -mm patchset. It contains
  numerous user-requested features, other things gathered from various sources, and 
  some of our own items/patches to make it no-certified.

"No-sources was founded during the end of love-source's reign by JasonF and myself.
 Our intention was to create a patchset that would be able to continue on regardless 
 of maintainer and still live in the spirit of -love's original -mm  base and featureset. 
 Given there have been numerous changes throughout the releases, including different 
 maintainers, but I believe through this philosophy a useful patchset can continue to be made."
