- Version 2.6.18.
- Renamed kernel variant from std26 to std.
- Spec file reworked for use with gear (removed macros from Name, Version,
Release fields, now using %name, %version, %release values to define other
macros instead).
- Moved to git - removed everything related to separate patch packages; now
src.rpm contains only a single combined patch between the vanilla release and
the packaged version.
- Removed %set_kernel_arches and %get_kernel_config macros - config files are
now included in the combined patch instead of separate source files.
- Switched to gcc 4.1.
- Updated %install for new location of internal bttv headers (some files were
moved from drivers/media/video/ to drivers/media/video/bt8xx/).
- Removed audio.ko and usb-midi.ko modules from kernel-modules-oss-%flavour
(these OSS drivers were declared obsolete and removed from the kernel).
- Removed all %__* macro abuse from spec.
- Reworked kernel-headers-%flavour subpackage: now it contains headers
sanitized for userspace (by "make headers_install") instead of raw kernel
headers which were there in previous releases.
- Moved kernel header files to /usr/src instead of symlinking include directory
from /usr/include (should fix problems with broken build systems of
proprietary modules).
- Moved kernel sources to /usr/src/linux-%kversion-%flavour-%krelease
instead of /usr/src/linux-%kversion-%flavour; old directory name is still
available as symlink.
- Added information about SMP alternatives to %description.
- i586: Switched from CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G to CONFIG_HIGMMEM4G to avoid PAE
requirement; a separate kernel variant with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G will be made.
Added notes about PAE and maximum addressable RAM to %description.
