Hi, We have some new ALSA maintainers: beandog, chainsaw, phreak (and me helping out to start with)
It's of course up to the maintainers to choose how they work, but the recommendations I have laid down have been that they focus on the userspace side: utils, tools, firmware, lib. I have suggested that herd support for the kernelspace side (alsa-driver) be slowly reduced, by redirecting users who file bugs against it to reproduce with the in-kernel drivers, and then let kernel handle the bug resolution. This will remove duplicated maintenance efforts. This will also mean no more stabling of -rc releases (and probably fewer of those in portage at all). alsa-driver won't be going away altogether, as it is still needed for 2.4 users (but we won't support them forever) and I think it may include a couple of drivers which aren't yet in the kernel tree. The alias for bugs is still [EMAIL PROTECTED] Daniel -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
