Download Linux Kernel 3.0-rc2

On the Linux Kernel Mailing List, Linus Torvalds has announced the second release candidate of the Linux 3.0 kernel. The kernel contains the necessary improvements compared to the previous release. For example, btrfs, ubifs and driver updates have again received considerable attention from the various developers. The announcement on the mailing list looks like this:

Linux 3.0-rc2

You all know the drill by now: another week, another -rc.

It’s been reasonably quiet, although the btrfs update is bigger than I was hoping for. Other than that, it’s mostly driver fixes, some ubifs updates too, and a few reverts for the early regressions.

But -rc2 is already small enough that it easily fits as an appended shortlog, and hopefully things will stay calm. Of course, part of that may be due to other people also havin been busy traveling, so let’s see (and hope for the best). And I haven’t been super-eager to pull, so there is a couple of pending requests still in my mail queue.
