Hi all, This is a quick announcement of the early testing of the genkernel-3.5.0.0 release.
The 3.5.0.x series should NOT be considered as stable candidates. As such, I've also removed ALL keywords from 3.5.0.0. Further 3.5.0.x releases will land other major changes hopefully, including updating the included tools. The 3.5.1.x series will hopefully be the next stable candidate series. 3.5.0.0: - It turns out the generic+per-arch config was previously merging fragments in the wrong order. Generic settings were overriding per-arch, instead of the opposite. Furthermore, because of this, many arches had a kernel config that had a high chance of being unbootable, if it even compiled. - Many options that included debugging in the generated kernel configs are now disabled. This returns behavior to the older static kernel configs that had these debug options disabled.
