Final kfreebsd-10 upload before freeze?



Hi,

kfreebsd-10 migrated last night;  is there a chance another upload of
the kernel could go into sid and be aged in before the freeze starts?

> +kfreebsd-10 (10.1~svn273874-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
> +
> +  * Upload to unstable
> +  * New upstream snapshot of 10.1-RC4

FreeBSD.org hasn't published an announcement for RC4 yet, which would
explain the changes in more detail, but there were only a few bugfixes
applied:
  - revert a GEOM optimisation that possibly caused data corruption in
some environments
  - fix ATA CF ERASE
  - something corrected in the HyperV drivers
  - unspecified bug fixed in Intel EPT and in VMM
(from
http://www.freshbsd.org/search?project=freebsd&q=file.name%3Areleng%2F10.1%2Fsys)

and also bring in the following changes, already in experimental:

>    * New upstream snapshot of 10.1-RC3+
>      - Fix memory leak in sandboxed namei lookup. [SA-14:22]
>        (CVE-2014-3711) (Closes: #766278)
>    * Symlink to drm2.ko as provider of drmn.ko dependency, for *kms
>      modules (Closes: #731182)
>    * NEWS: advise to reboot after upgrading kernel and userland tools
>      from wheezy (Closes: #765588)

I think all of these make sense, although none of them were RC bugs
which is why I'm asking in advance.

A snapshot of RC4 should be exactly what releases with FreeBSD 10.1,
which was rescheduled for 10th November 2014.

Thanks,
Regards,
