Sorry again for the radio silence. I'm finally mostly recovered from the
heatstroke I got at Texas Linuxfest, had to catch up at $DAYJOB with
deadlines I'd fallen behind on, the dog had an emergency that wound up
keeping her at the vet for a couple days, during which my house got
mildly flooded by:

So it's been a week. (You'd be surprised how annoying a quarter inch of
water on the floor can be. Luckily while the power on both sides of the
street was off I noticed the dome light left on in the car, so we didn't
have a dead battery on top of all that. And my phone has tethering so I
can still access the internet until we get the cable modem replaced.)

All that said, I've finally got the new find code checked in and
squeezed a couple bugs out of it yesterday, and I noticed that a clean
checkout still had the old nbd-client code in pending so if you built
"allyesconfig" things broke.

I'm trying to get find finished, and I have mostly finished mount and dd
implementations, and then next up I've had multiple requests for mdev.

Next release is aimed for end of August. I really want to clear out as
much of the pending directory as possible. (The kernel guys call theirs
"staging", maybe I should have used that name...)

But first, I gotta talk to the large man frowning professionally at my
floors and baseboards. (Did you know water can get trapped under pergo
and linoleum? The things you learn....)
