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."

  1. Patches? I don't need no stinkin' patches! by SpinyNorman · · Score: 1, Troll

    You've never used Solaris have you?

    The only thing I've seen that was more patched than Solaris were some of Novell's products.

    I'll stick with Linux, thanks.
