[$] The rest of the 6.15 merge window
Linus Torvalds released 6.15-rc1 and
closed the 6.15 merge window on April 6. By that time, 12,633
non-merge changesets had found their way into his repository; that is
substantially more than were merged during the entire 6.14
development cycle. Just under 6,000 of those changesets were merged after
the first-half merge-window summary was
written. ⌘ Read more

Five new stable kernels
The 6.14.1, 6.13.10, 6.12.22, 6.6.86, and 6.1.133 stable kernels have all been
released. They contain a relatively small collection of important fixes
across the kernel tree. ⌘ Read more

Kernel prepatch 6.15-rc1
Linus has released 6.15-rc1 and closed the
merge window for this release. “As expected, this was one of the bigger
merge windows, almost certainly just because we had some pent-up
development due to the previous releases being impacted by the holiday
season. That said, while it’s bigger than normal, it’s not some kind of
record-breaking thing.”. In the end, 12.633 non-merge changesets were
pulled into the mainline during this merge window. ⌘ Read more

Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de!

My backing SQLite database with indices is 8.7 MiB in size right now.

The twtxt cache is 7.6 MiB, it uses Python’s pickle module. And next to it there is a 16.0 MiB second database with all the read statuses for the old tt. Wow, super inefficient, it shouldn’t contain anything else, it’s a giant, pickled {"$hash": {"read": True/False}, …}. What the heck, why is it so big?! O_o

[$] Development statistics for 6.14
By the time that Linus Torvalds released
the 6.14 kernel, 11,003 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the
mainline, making this one of the smallest releases we have seen in some
time. Indeed, one must go back to the 4.0\
release, which happened almost exactly ten years ago, to find a release
with fewer changesets than 6.14. Even so, “small” is relative, and 6.14
contains a lot of significant changes. ⌘ Read more

The 6.14 kernel is out
Linus has released the 6.14 kernel, a bit
later than expected:

So it’s early Monday morning (well - early for me, I’m not really a
morning person), and I’d love to have some good excuse for why I
didn’t do the 6.14 release yesterday on my regular Sunday afternoon
release schedule.

I’d like to say that some important last-minute thing came up and
delayed things.

But no. It’s just pure incompetence.

An Asahi Linux 6.14 progress report
The Asahi Linux project, working to support Linux on Apple hardware, has

Now that Rust for Linux abstractions are starting to be merged at a

for any kernel patch to survive the mailing list without at least a
couple of non-trivial changes, and Rust abstractions are no
exception. Every time an a … ⌘ Read more
