Kernel prepatch 3.18-rc1 In a relatively predictable move, Linus has released 3.18-rc1 and closed the 3.18 merge window sooner than expected. He has, however, said that he will be more than usually open to post-rc1 pull requests from people who " grovel a
bit." " There is also at least one pull request that I am
hoping to get asap and planning on still pulling, ie I'm very much still
hoping to get overlayfs finally merged." In the end, 9,711 non-merge changesets found their way into the mainline repository during this merge window. | | 4:47p |
