As announced on the list the compat-drivers project was renamed to backports [0] and uses now only one new tree for development [1]. Due to the huge amount of changes we've been behind on linux-next daily snapshots but we've now caught up with Linus so a release based on v3.10-rc1 is due and is now available [2]. Please test ! There are tons of changes in terms of how we do backports that should make it easier and consistent to backport drivers and subsystems thanks mainly to Johannes' huge changes. As it is now most if not all development scripts have been converted to Python, except for scripts required on the user's part for installation. As for user's experience you no longer have to use the silly ./scripts/drivers-select script to enable only one driver for compilation, you just type in make menuconfig make -j 4 # Then as root: make install There are also a series of defconfigs, present on the defconfig directory, you can use the iwlwifi defconfig as follows for example: make defconfig-iwlwifi We need more defconfigs! Please feel free to send your submissions. I'm willing to merge these in for the rc series prior to the final release. Apart from these changes we now also backport three new subsystems: NFC, media and regulator subsystems. For NFC we have 8 new drivers. For media we ended up backporting 433 new drivers. For regulator we backported 37 new drivers. Many thanks to Johannes, Samuel, and Hauke for their huge help with all these new changes. Now please go test!
