16 flames back at OpenSound by the kernel developers, some white hot. Regards Sid.
Man, reading those mail from the kernel developers I can "perhaps" understand why SuSE needs 12.8Mb of diffs that aren't in the mainstream. It's true that the KBUILD environment is borked in 2.6.5-suse, but what an attitude. The man's original point was this, the extreme changes in interface stoppes small developers from being able to release code that works mainstream. This is true. Reply arguement is, that he's not using an interface that's guaranteed to be constant ... probably true. But the originally adressed issue, is simply shrugged away with "We decide, eat what your given". So, we have to continue live with the same problems ... like the one I'm having with going from i386 to x86_64 ... Linux has a long way to go ... and to get there, it needs proper management.
