Andreas, this is exactly what I'm getting at. You want the community to contribute, but you want to say how and when, primarily because of your support commitments. Well, how about letting the community participate in the support as well? /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Do you want to support JFS in the opensuse kernels? Great, I'll be glad to assign any such bug to you if you want it :) thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I agree, this is something that we should allow. Some of that release is still Novell internal. On the other hand, fixing bug and submitting patches is already possible, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
