2006-04-19	[PATCH] Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio	Jesper Juhl	1	-1/+3
	Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio.c spotted by coverity checker. This fixes coverity bug #86 Without this patch we risk dereferencing a NULL `type' in the "if ('\n' == *type) {" line.

2006-04-11	kbuild: rebuild initramfs if content of initramfs changes	Sam Ravnborg	1	-54/+37
	initramfs.cpio.gz being build in usr/ and included in the kernel was not rebuild when the included files changed. To fix this the following was done: - let gen_initramfs.sh generate a list of files and directories included in the initramfs - gen_initramfs generate the gzipped cpio archive so we could simplify the kbuild file (Makefile) - utilising the kbuild infrastructure so when uid/gid root mapping changes the initramfs will be rebuild With this change we have a much more robust initramfs generation.

2005-10-18	Add some basic .gitignore files	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+7
	This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone, but gets rid of the bulk of the "generic" generated files that we should ignore. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-08-10	kconfig: move initramfs options to General Setup	Sam Ravnborg	1	-0/+46
	Move initramfs options from Device Drivers \| Block Drivers to General Setup This is a more natural place for this option. Furthermore separate out intramfs options to usr/Kconfig Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2005-07-25	kbuild: introduce Kbuild.include	Sam Ravnborg	1	-1/+1
	Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build. There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> ---
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	3	-0/+607
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
