I'm following the -ck thread, and FYI only. Sad day for us kernel tweakers. :-(

Let's wait for Con's announcement/comment. If it's about the -ck group of patches, all or some of the patches included in -ck... Until then the «fat lady haven't sang yet» (i hope...).
/me warms up his fat lady with some singing exercises Yes it's true, -ck is over after the next stable release. I was going to announce this with the actual release, but many have become aware of this already from other sources (like IRC). So I'll explain in more depth now and leave a quick announcement for the release. There are many reasons for this, but two major ones that most of you will have deduced by now: 1. If whatever performance advantage it has is all but abolished compared to mainline then there is no point maintaining alternate patches to achieve the same endpoint. 2. All interest I have in kernel development, even out of the mainline spotlight, has been... abolished (I had nastier words but decided not to use them.) It is clear that I cannot develop code for the linux kernel intended only to be used out of mainline and not have mainline get involved somewhere along the line. Whether it be the users or even other developers repeatedly asking "when will this be merged". This forever gets me into a cycle of actually trying to merge the stuff and ... well you all know what happens at that point (again I had nastier words but decided not to use them.) So, I've had enough. I'm out of here forever. I want to leave before I get so disgruntled that I end up using windows. I may play occasionally with userspace code but for me the kernel is a black hole that I don't want to enter the event horizon of again. I thank you all deeply for your involvement, patronage, support, bug reports and feedback. I also apologise because I realise what the -ck patchset means to a lot of people. Truly, thank you very much. 本当にどうもありがとうございます -- -ck _______________________________________________ http://ck.kolivas.org/faqs/replying-to-mailing-list.txt ck mailing list - mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vds.kolivas.org/mailman/listinfo/ck -- Mhac Janapin PBTS SysAd ============= http://mulingsilang.blogspot.com ============= I'm an Open Source Enthusiast. c",)
