Back from the 2005 Linux Kernel Developers' Summit, Linus Torvalds released the 2.6.13-rc4 kernel. Linus noted that the improved development process discussed at the recent summit will begin after the upcoming release of the 2.6.13 kernel, "which is hopefully not too far away." The general idea of the new process, which improves upon last year's development model [story], is to require that all major merges happen within two weeks of a stable kernel release. All the rest of the time between releases should then be spent on fixing bugs. Linus summarized:

"So if you have a favourite kernel developer, please wake him up with a friendly kick to the head and explain this concept to him in small easy-to-understand words, and tell him that we're in the freeze process for 2.6.13 now, and that he should be gathering up the patches, and make sure they get to me _after_ 2.6.13 is out, but at that point do it in a timely manner."

Hey everybody,

 as many of you are aware, we were talking (not enough) about the release
process at LKS this year. 

This ain't it.

This is just the regular old release "process", with some LKS backlog put 
in for good measure. 

But the good news is, that I'll try the new release process after 2.6.13
is out, which is hopefully not too far away. Which means that we should
try to let people know about the fact that if they want to merge stuff,
they should do so in the first two weeks after the 2.6.13 release, and no
later (also, no earlier either, by now).

So if you have a favourite kernel developer, please wake him up with a
friendly kick to the head and explain this concept to him in small
easy-to-understand words, and tell him that we're in the freeze process
for 2.6.13 now, and that he should be gathering up the patches, and make
sure they get to me _after_ 2.6.13 is out, but at that point do it in a
timely manner.

Ok?

In the meantime, here's the 2.6.13-rc4 update, with a diffstat so horribly
ugly that I won't even show it (the kernel list would eat it as too big
anyway), and I'll have to go fix my code that generates it.

Oh, and in case you wonder, it's ugly because a cris architecture update
with long filenames that really causes git-apply to output som rather
nasty-looking diffstats ;)

ALSA, IB, NTFS, SCSI (qla2xxx) and the cris architecture update.

			Linus
