Ein "C" im Bereich "[ ]" kennzeichnet Commits mit Änderungen an Kconfig-Dateien, welche die Konfigurationsoptionen samt der zugehörigen Hilfetexte enthalten. Mit "D" ausgezeichneten Patches verändern die dem Kernel beiliegende Dokumentation; Commits mit "N" legen neue Dateien an. Die Zahl vermittelt einen groben Eindruck zur Größe des Patches: Eine "1" kennzeichnet Patches, die inklusive Kommentar zwischen 10 und 20 KByte groß sind; Patches mit einer "9" sind 90 KByte oder größer. Änderungen ohne Zahl sind kleiner als 10 KByte.

Nachzügler

Das Gros der Änderungen für eine neue Kernel-Version pflegen die Kernel-Entwickler in dem Merge Window am Anfang des Entwicklungszyklus ein; gelegentlich nehmen die Kernel-Entwickler in der darauf folgenden Stabilisierungsphase aber noch einige kleinere, zumeist nicht ganz so wichtige Änderungen der Kategorie "Die kleinen Perlen" in den Linux-Kernel auf – teilweise, nachdem das Kernel-Log über die entsprechenden Subsysteme des Kernels bereits berichtet hat. Auch diesmal gab es einige solche Nachzügler, die für den einen oder anderen Anwender relevant sein könnten:

Weitere Hintergründe und Informationen rund um Entwicklungen im Linux-Kernel und dessen Umfeld finden sich in den vorangegangenen Kernel-Logs auf heise open. Neue Ausgaben des Kernel-Logs werden auf den Identi.ca- und Twitter-Konten "@kernellog" erwähnt; die englischen, bei den Kollegen von "The H" erscheinenden Übersetzungen auf den Identi.ca- und Twitter-Konten "@kernellog2". Gelegentlich zwitschert der Autor des Kernel-Logs unabhängig davon über einige Kernel-Log-Themen bei Identi.ca und Twitter als "@kernellogauthor". (thl) (thl)
