Re: Linux kernel 2.0.31????
I have been just WAINTING for someone to bring this up. In my personal
opinion, Linus is making a mistake by introducing new features in the
release tree and it results in having two development trees going at the
same time. Somehow the old way of releasing bug-fixes only in the stable
tree has changed to introducing features from the develpment tree into the
stable tree. This results in things breaking and a lot of effort spent on
fixes that might in turn break something else, etc.
>From my reading of the kernel developers list, .31 has become like
squeezing a water balloon. As of last night I was reading about bugs in
pre.31-7 but Linus has made noises about freezing .31 and going to .32 if
need be because they HAVE to get fixes out for .30 which is pretty poor
when it comes to virtual memory management.
