Linus Merges ALSA Into 2.5.4

Posted by chrisd on from the it's-water-helen-water dept.

davster writes "I was just checking out the Linux 2.5 changeset and noticed that Linus has just merged ALSA into his tree. Its about time." CD: Looks like Jaroslav Kysela did the merge work, but Linus obviously allowed it to happen. I'm a happy Alsa user so this looks like a good thing.

  1. What's going on with Linus? by felipeal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not complaining/trolling (actually, I'm happy with the news), but it's interesting to notice what Linus is up to recently:

    - he is considering to use BitKeeper
    - he accepted the preemptive kernel in the kernel
    - he did something else I don't recall now (will search slashdot after this post :)
    - he accepted alsa on the kernel

    Maybe he is finally realizing that Linux is not only "his toy" anymore...

      ...or perhaps he's recognizing that these other projects are maturing and can now be consided "worthy" of kernel level inclusion.

      no matter what happens to the kernel, it will always be his toy ;-)

      but maybe people will fork of and start making there own toys, who knows
