Hello, I would like to schedule the upload of 2.6.16-7, containing 2.6.16.3 and 2.6.16.4, for tomorrow Apr. 13th. Additionally, I would like to call for comments on the following options: - SECCOMP: already deactivated in trunk, should be deactivated in sid too, for more info on the issue please see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113679955125413&w=2 It seems to not change the ABI, so it could still be changed for -7. - HZ_250 instead of HZ_1000: If I remember correctly, we kept HZ_1000 because it was the prior default. IMHO, we should follow upstream and change the default to HZ_250 too. A short pro/cons is here: http://kerneltrap.org/node/5411 Considering we plan to use the smp-alternatives patches for both amd64 and i386, at least here HZ_250 makes sense. For the other arches and flavours, either HZ_100 for smp and HZ_1000 for up/desktop flavours could make sense, or just HZ_250 too for the sake of simplicity. There will for sure be users requesting to revert this change, similar to PREEMPT, so I would like to have a concensus in the team regarding this option. Best regards Frederik Schueler -- ENOSIG
