[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools-testing v20080318-rc

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

it turns out that there were some x86_64 files missing from the tarball
distribution of the kexec-tools-testing 20080226 as well as some objects
missing from compiled purgatory code on the same architecture.  Thanks
to Sachin P. Sant and Bernhard Walle for fixing these problems.

Rather than make a point release that just fixes these problems,
I have decided to go ahead with a full release of what is
in the tree. If you feel strongly that a point release would be better,
please let me know.

I would like to move this rc release to a full release as soon as
possible. If have missed anything please let me know.

The release can be downloaded as a tarball:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/testing/kexec-tools-testing-20080318-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
