This directory contains a snapshot of the XFS CVS tree at the start of
kernel 2.4.9. The snapshot can be downloaded as a single patch
containing all the XFS kernel code, it has also been split into several
patches to make it easier to port XFS to other architectures and for
distributors to include XFS in their distributions.
You can apply the -all patch to get a snapshot of XFS for 2.4.9-i386
as of 2001-08-22 04:58 UTC. Or you can selectively apply the -split
patches. Do not mix the -all and -split patches, that will result in
patch errors and/or duplicate code.
The -all and -split patches are provided as a courtesy and are not
supported. They are created after the initial upgrade to a new kernel
and are not changed afterwards. In particular any bug fixes or XFS/kdb
changes for pre-release kernels are _not_ reflected here. The main
method of XFS distribution is via the XFS CVS tree, if you want an up
to date version of XFS then use CVS.

Snapshot != official XFS release.
