As I understand it the Android add-ons to the Linux kernel will not be part of the official Linux kernel tree after 2.6.32. Correct ?
What is the long term expectations on the relationsship between Linux and Android? I could see some different scenarios: - Android and Linux are rejoined. - Android extensions to the Linux kernel are continously provided as additions to the Linux kernel. Maintained either by Google or by the Android community or a combination. - Linux kernel is adapted as an integral part of Android and the Linux kernel part of Android is developed and maintained independently of the Linux kernel. - .... I see different PROS and CONS of the above scenarios, which to some extend is dependent on the perceived scope of Android, i.e. whether Android is seen as a dedicated smart phone OS and middleware, or it is seen as a more general vehicle for embedded devices. Comments and opinios ? Best regards Jens Kristian -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
