We have about 2 weeks to the freeze in which to enable/backport any extra features wanted for wheezy. I have a 4-day weekend now but I am not going to spend it all on Debian hacking! Here's a list of a few to be considered: - [linux-tools] build more tools: - hv (something to do with Hyper-V; requested by MS) - usbip (#568362); the current usbip userland package is apparently *incompatible* with the usbip driver we build! - lguest (#457652) - btrfs improvements (rebalance, general performance, error handling) - do these have any dependencies on VFS changes? - network teaming driver - network byte queue limits (anti-bufferbloat) - [armhf] LPAE support - procfs hidepid and hidegid mount options (#669028) - CPU autoloading support - discussed in http://bugs.debian.org/654957#20 - depends on conversion of CPU sysdevs to ordinary devices - fixes for THP with slow writeback (#675493) - seccomp filters and no_new_privs (#675615) - yama LSM - [arm] BPF JIT compiler Some cleanup that would be nice to get done in linux-2.6 before branching: - rename to linux - move bug scripts to linux-base - move more maintainer script logic to linux-base - convert each patch series to quilt format - possibly also convert to source format 3.0 (quilt) Some hardware support; this can still be done after the freeze but the sooner the better: - [armhf] omapdrm driver - [x86] gma500 support for new chips - [x86] i915 improvements in Ivy Bridge support - radeon support for new chips - NVMe driver - tg3 support for 57766 chip - ipheth support for iPhone 4S - DRM/KMS driver for DisplayLink - qmi_wwan driver (#670241) Ben. -- Ben Hutchings The obvious mathematical breakthrough [to break modern encryption] would be development of an easy way to factor large prime numbers. - Bill Gates
