[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools-testing v20080221-rc

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

I've decided to make another rc release as there were a few problems
with the previous one - in particular the tarball included lots of stuff
that it shouldn't have.

This RC also includes the command line length patch
by Neil Horman (no relation).

The release can be downloaded as a tarball:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/testing/kexec-tools-testing-20080221-rc.tar.gz
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/testing/

I have also tagged it in git:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools-testing.git
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools-testing.git
