      • sys-fs/ecryptfs-utils
      • sys-fs/btrfs-progs
    • "Suspended" drivers:
      • madwifi-ng (modded the ebuild to compile against 2.6.29.1, but the new kernel release has changed internal structures -> avoiding to fix with broken hand-made patches)
      • madwifi-ng-tools (without madwifi-ng makes no sense)
    • Other notes:
      • btrfs has been included, along with the associated btrfs-progs package
  • 4th release (2008-12-20)
    • 2.6.27.10 kernel + reiser4
    • gcc 4.3.2
    • glibc-2.9_p20081201
    • linux-headers-2.6.27-r2
    • Added packages:
      • app-admin/hddtemp
      • app-admin/testdisk
      • net-analyzer/bmon
      • net-analyzer/packit
      • net-analzer/tcptrack
      • net-wireless/wavemon
      • sys-apps/pv
      • sys-apps/smartmontools
      • sys-process/iotop
    • Added drivers:
      • madwifi-ng
      • madwifi-ng-tools
    • Removed drivers:
      • ipw3945: latest version does not compile against 2.6.27, the driver has been deprecated in favor of iwlwifi driver mantained by the kernel team
    • Other notes
      • keymap selection at boot has been fixed: it was my fault when writing the spec files, I did not realize the connection between the keymaps/consolefont init scripts and the impossibility to keep the selected keymap, that is done earlier at boot (even before rc scripts)
      • madwifi-ng has been reintegrated upon request
  • 3rd release (2008-09-15)
    • 2.6.26.5 kernel + reiser4
    • gcc 4.3.1-r1
    • glibc-2.7-r2
    • linux-headers-2.6.26
    • Added packages:
      • app-arch/p7zip
      • sys-boot/grub
      • sys-power/acpitool
    • Removed drivers:
      • madwifi-ng / madwifi-ng-tools (ath5k is enough mature and madwifi-ng-0.9.4 doesn't compile against 2.6.26)
    • Changes over default configuration:
      • e2fsprogs 1.41.1 (with subsequent dependencies: e2fslibs, com_err, ss)
    • Other notes:
      • e2fsprogs is included also in stage3, that means you'll have to unmask that also to prevent downgrades (deps also)
  • 2nd release (2008-06-16)
    • 2.6.25-reiser4-r5 (based upon 2.6.25.6, don't let the name mislead you)
    • gcc 4.3.1
    • glibc-2.7-r2
    • linux-headers-2.6.25-r4
    • modularized whole PATA/SATA stuff (pay attention to new drivers naming scheme if you can't find your drive)
    • added all new drivers that have been included in the kernel
    • madwifi-ng does work fine (tested)
    • Added packages:
      • net-analyzer/iftop
      • sys-power/powertop
      • sys-process/latencytop
    • Added drivers:
