Is development dead?
by Styx - Nov 30th 2001 11:27:14
The subject says it all, doesn't it? I'd like to use the FOLK patch on my
workstation, but the latest release is for 2.4.10... What's happening?

The project went on hold, for a while. :( Part of that was a heavy
workload, but part of it was due to the fact that kernel development went
into a period of sheer chaos for a while. Entire major components were
being ripped out and replaced, seemingly on a daily basis. I wanted to wait
until things calmed down a little, so that patches might actually work with
the latest kernel.
I also made several attempts to move onto the 2.5.x tree, but the chaos
simply moved over there. Although there's some really nice code there, I've
found it impossible to produce a good 2.5.x patch, with all the
pin-wheeling around. Once someone disconnects the Improbability Generator
from Linus' brain, it should be possible to move forward there. (Linus is
probably one of the hottest coders around, and one of the brightest, but we
might as well be using a Genetic Algorithm for the Virtual Memory Manager,
for all that it keeps getting replaced.)

wish: Make available via ftp?
by fire-eyes - Jun 29th 2001 17:32:24
It would be nice to be able to download these patches from an ftp server, I
have to stop downloads frequently and at 5M into it, I don't have too much
faith in stopping an http download and hoping it resumes.
So making it available via ftp would be fantastic!
Thanks.

You can access the FOLK archives via FTP, by
FTPing to ftp.sourceforge.net
and going to the /pub/sourceforge/folk directory.

Support for low-latency patch?

Are you planning on adding Ingo Molnar's low-latency patch to your kernel
patch set?

I'm stuck on whether to use Ingo's patch or Andrew
Morton's patch. Andrew Morton's uses a lot of Ingo
Molnar's patch set, and is much more current, but that
doesn't always mean much. I'll have to think about this
one, but any input anyone can give would be truly
appreciated.
