Well there is only one Linux the kernel which Linus releases. All other changes are development branches and eventually all acceptable stuff gets merged in mainline. I don't think you understand how Linux development works at all.
ohh, i think i do, let me give you one more example, check a project called grsecurity, it is a set of kernel patches to implement PAX, RBAC and other stuff, that is not in any of the developement branches of the linux kernel and will likely never be there despite having been around for quite some time ( some years ).
But more importantly this was never about accepting any and all changes - it was about making it better for people to propose changes and people to review it and then accept the quality ones.
i think that is actually how the process works right now, and it will get better over time. Opensolaris is a lot of code and this is a fairly new community with many things to solve, please let it go one step at a time, slowly but safe and steadily. perhaps we could have a more sane conversation about licensing and other core things that need to be addressed by the community once the new ogb is elected, and that should happen fairly soon. There is also a draft of the constitution for those interested, and just like the gplv3 it's open for debate. nacho _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
