"Ok, it's a bloody large -rc (as was 24-rc1, for that matter), probably because the 2.6.24 release cycle dragged out, so people had a lot of things pending," noted Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.25-rc1 kernel. He added, "the full diff is something like 11MB and 1.4M lines of diffs, with the bulk of the stuff being in architecture updates and drivers." Linus continued:
"Just to have some fun, I did trivial statistics, and of the 1.4M lines of diffs, about 38% - 530k lines - were in architecture files (400k+ lines of diffs in arch/, 100k+ lines of diffs in include/asm-*), and another big chunk is in drivers (including sound) at about 44% - 610k lines - of changes. The rest comes in much smaller, but still noticeable is networking (8% - 110k lines), with filesystems at 4%, and documentation at about 2%. The remaining crumbles being spread out mostly over block layer, crypto, kernel core, and security layer updates (ie SElinux and smack)."
