The 2.5 Kernel Tree And Alan Cox

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-forward-off dept.

Motor writes "It seems that (as everyone suspected), the 2.5 Linux kernel tree is close to opening. However, contrary to expectations, 2.4 will not be maintained by Alan Cox, but will instead be handled by Marcelo Tosatti. Thanks to Alan for all his hard work on 2.0 and 2.2."

    Ah. My troll detector should have gone off, but unfortunetly, I didn't bother looking at your other posts until after hitting submit. For those of you who also thought a sub-100 UID wouldn't be trolling, read the following comment.

    Withholding the info regarding the security patches isn't cool in any way. If he wants a to make a political point about the DMCA then he should do so on his website. No allowing us to know if we need to upgrade our kernels is just petty childishness.
