Missing Kernel Patches

Posted by timothy on from the communication-gaps dept.

BlueEar writes: "There is an interesting, short story posted on the Gentoo Linux site. It talks about kernel patches created by Linux distributors that while publically available never get submitted. It even gives an example of one 'no brainer' patch that has been sitting over a year, without being incorporated into the 2.4.x distribution. The article ends with an appeal to Linux community to keep those patches flowing to Marcelo."

    Yeah, that's what Marcelo needs, every clueless dweeb bombing them with endless copies of "this rmap vm is so 1337 why dont j00 include it in 2.4.19!"

      Andrea to Linus: "This VM is so 0x539 why don't j00 #include it in 2.4.10!"

    I'll spend my time being productive, thank you very much.

    Then why are you posting on /.?

    I was running at 80x34 first. I had to maximize the terminal to 129x44 to be able to read it. I doubt your terminal is even close to 1024x768 characters...
