Sorry but that is at best misleading, and at worse, plain wrong. The top-level work flow for the Linux kernel is neither mailing list, nor web forge, but CLI pull/merge. The mailing list is used to discuss and to notify pending merge requests. As far as I know, some subgroups still use mailing list for actual patch submission and review, and some subgroups have already switched to web forges. And there are people complaining about the difficulty and exclusivity of the mailing list-based flow. > linux is not affraid to innovate to abadon tradition where new things > need to be tried. Well, yes, and accordingly some of the Linux maintainers have switched to web forges, AFAIU. > linux is strong as ever This is hardly a point of comparison. Linux gets support from hardware design and vending companies as well as from large users. Linux is pretty much an exception more than a rule in the overall OSS ecosystem. If you want to compare FFmpeg, take a low-level middleware project of similar age and size. For instance, QEMU switched to Gitlab.com a few years ago. > If you want to be like linux you need to be like linux. FFmpeg cannot and never will be like Linux. This is a silly argument. Nobody suggested moving FFmpeg to a tiered merge flow like what Linus Torvalds uses. The scale and scope of Linux is just so much larger. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
