Linux 6.2-rc6
posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 30, 2023
Here we are, one week later, and rc6 is out.
It's suspiciously small, but who am I to look a gift horse in the
mouth? I'll take it and hope it's not an aberration, but instead a
sign that 6.2 is shaping up nicely. Call me optimistic, call me naive,
but let's enjoy it and hope the trend continues.
The diffstat looks pretty normal too, with various driver fixes
(networking, gpu, i2c and x86 platform drivers stand out) and
netfilter fixes leading the pack. But there's the usual arch updates,
random filesystem fixes, and misc other things going on too. The
shortlog is appended for people who want to scan through the detailed
overview.
I've already mentioned this a couple of times earlier: despite rc6
being nice and small, I expect to drag 6.2 out to an rc8 just because
of the time lost to the holidays. But I'll be much happier if we can
*keep* the remaining rc's nice and small. Ok?
