...and also like gentoo some people use it because they think it does something it just doesn't
Besides, anyone can build a custom kernel with the PKGBUILD on the wiki or penguin's script - it couldn't be much easier!
So - let me just waste my breath again! No -morph and no -nitro
Now back to business....
Bootsplash?! Groan!
]]>I have been making patches for the Archie liveCD kernels, based on CK, and include a majority of the things here. I would be more than happy to start working on a patchset, based on CK, that would continue from CKO.
Currently in Archie:
-ck
-reiser4
-shfs
-squashfs
-unionfs (needed to build an archie ISO, and within the archie iso)
-bootsplash (could use fbsplash if demand were there)
I could happily try and extend this to include some of the extra things that CKO has.....
I realise that squashfs is practically irrelevant to a desktop kernel, but people dont have to compile it in if they dont want to.

consider this idea on hold!

And, if possible, what about building this patched kernel with everything related with AGP builded as a module so ppl can use ATI accelerated graphic drivers with it??
(as now to make 'em works is required to rebuild arch kernel and not all the ati possessors are able/wants to do it)
I can modify the ati-drivers PKGBUILD to work with this kernel, 8 ppl already voted for the ati-drivers package in the AUR, i hope in a few time it could be possible to install ati drivers just with pacman
(as you can see my english really suck, i hope you've understood what i'm trying to say )

]]>I am a great fan of the -cko patches, and they provide the patches I need (and the speed)
I need/would wanna use
acpi4linux
reiser4 (or atleast soon)
alsa
vesatng
softwaresuspend
I would gladly help...but I don't think I have the knowledge...
]]>Lots of people ask about swsusp2 and fbsplash in the Arch kernel so I'm also thinking, if we can decide on a set of patches to include, we can host the binary in the AUR [community] repo with the stock Arch config (obviously with the additional options)
I personally think that -cko provides all the added functionality patches that most people commonly request without going as far as -morph and -nitro to be bleeding edge.
Now, i'd do the whole thing myself if i had time to do it but as most people know I have plenty on my plate.
What I am requesting is that a few people take responsibilty for the additional patchsets and that it is a group effort. The first person takes the vanilla kernel and adds his/her patches, passes on the resulting patch to the next person in line, they patch the vanilla source with it and then hack in their patches.
This is the current -cko patch list. There is no 2.6.12 release yet. I am happy to add one or two patches to this list, I am also happy to drop one or two but it'll have to be a good case for either · Reiser4 filesystem, more info
