Linux 6.0-rc7 improves and eighth Release Candidate is no longer expected

Linux 6.0-rc7

A week ago, Linus Torvalds went fashionable and put on a hat. No, just kidding, Torvalds never talks about fashion, but yes said that he had put on his optimistic hat to think that this week things would be fixed and there would be no eighth Release Candidate for the current version of his kernel under development. And it seems that he was lucky: a few hours ago launched Linux 6.0-rc7 and it seems that everything is back to normal.

Linux 6.0-rc7 yes it is more bigger than average, but for very little. So, let's knock on wood, as Torvalds himself says, and hopefully everything goes well in the next seven days so that on Sunday we'll be talking about the release of the stable version. Of course, if a quiet build changed in a week, the same thing could happen again, requiring that rc8 reserved for troublesome builds.

Linux 6.0 expected next Sunday

Yes, maybe it's marginally higher than the historical average for this point in the release cycle, but it's definitely not an outlier, and it seems pretty normal. Which is good, and makes me think the final release will happen right on schedule next weekend, unless
for something unexpected to happen. knock on wood

By the way, rc7 is also (I think) the first time we've had a clean build that we've had a 'make allmodconfig' build with no clang warnings, since the patches for frame size issues in the code have been merged since amd display The stack size is still quite large (and the code isn't exactly pretty), but it's now below the level we noted.

With this scenario, Linux 6.0 is expected to arrive next Sunday October 2 days, on the 9th if something strange happened that had to be solved. When the time comes, Ubuntu users who want to install it will have to do it on their own. Ubuntu 22.04 uses Linux 5.15, and 22.10 will use 5.19.
