Hello,
I am curious how up to date the 2.4 kernel is that can be checked out of
oss.sgi. Being there is no patch aginst 2.4.18-rc1 yet (and dare I not
ask for it), I need to know if it is remotely close to the or identical
to the 2.4.18-rc1 branch of the linux kernel.
TIA,

The CVS tree is still 2.4.17.
We will not make a 2.4.18 based kernel available until 2.4.18 actually comes
out. We do have 2.4.18-pre9 running here, but we are not making things
public
yet, the reason being that the extended attribute/acl kernel interface
will be
changing in this version to use the new system calls. A new user space will
be required for this so we do not want to just put this out willy nilly.
