  • Until now, ieee1394 put an IP-over-1394 capability entry into each new
    host's config ROM. As soon as the controller was initialized --- i.e.
    right after modprobe ohci1394 --- this entry triggered a hotplug event
    which typically caused auto-loading of eth1394.

    This irritated or annoyed many users and distributors. Of course they
    could blacklist eth1394, but then ieee1394 wrongly advertized IP-over-
    1394 capability to the FireWire bus.

    Therefore
    - remove the offending kernel config option
    IEEE1394_CONFIG_ROM_IP1394,
    - let eth1394 add the ROM entry by itself, i.e. only after eth1394 was
    loaded.

    This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7793 .

    To emulate the behaviour of older kernels, simply add the following to
    to /etc/modprobe.conf:

    install ohci1394 /sbin/modprobe eth1394; \
    /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ohci1394

    Note, autoloading of eth1394 when an _external_ IP-over-1394 capable
    device is discovered is _not_ affected by this patch.

  • 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!
