Suspend2 Suspended

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the be-careful-of-burnout dept.

musicon writes "Nigel Cunningham, the creator of the Suspend2 software suspend system for Linux announced his retirement from the project in a message to the Linux Kenel Mailing List. 'Users of Suspend2 can rest assured that I will not allow the patches to suffer bitrot. I will be continuing to use them myself, and will therefore have the best of incentives to keep them up-to-date [...] I won't, however, be making any sort of concerted effort at getting them merged into the vanilla kernel [...] I don't see the point to doing anything but maintaining the patches as they stand.'"

    Ok, looking around, I see lots of people complaining about how suspend2 is not going to get into the kernel now. Well, if you're so intent on getting it merged, why not pick up the sword and start trying to make it happen yourselves? Don't just sit back and complain, do something about it if it means that much to ya!

      Not at all, I'm just saying that for a lot of people complaining that it's not going to get into the kernel, I don't see anyone here willing to carry the torch. If they don't think it should be in the kernel, then quit whining about it not being there.

      Or do something about it...

      If I wanted to see Suspend2 in the kernel, I'd get off my lazy rear and start pushing to get it there, even if it did mean a total rewrite of it.
