Linux 6.11-rc2

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 05, 2024,
updated Aug 06, 2024

So rc1 had a fair number of annoying small build or test failures on
Guenter's test matrix, which never looks good. But most of them seemed
to be of the "stupid and trivial" variety, which obviously doesn't
instill confidence in the process, but also isn't exactly scary. When
the microblaze tinyconfig doesn't build cleanly, it may not be a great
look, but it's also probably not a showstopper for actual use.


Hopefully we've gotten rid of the bulk of the silly noise here in rc2,
and not added too much new noise, so that we can get on with the
process of finding more meaningful issues.
