Hi,
I have been thinking of making some updates too.
So far I have just been trolling the 2.6.11.X and 2.6.12.X patch sets.
This is primarily intented as a base for rc1 rather than a security
update, as almost none of the fixes are security related.
I think the best thing to do would be for you to go ahead and
start a 2.6.8-16sarge1 in cvs. I will then grab those patches
and put them into what I am working on for 2.6.8-17.
We also need to think about 2.4.27, but I was planning to do that
after 2.6.8 is in the bag.
