And that entails becoming aware of bugs, so you'd need a way to become aware of i686 bugs, and then fix them, and then interface with upstream to get a fix if they have one, or push a fix if you find one, and then patch Fedora's kernel in the interim before the patch is accepted upstream. Literally the job description of what the kernel team does day in and day out, they aren't going to do for i686 kernels. That's been my take away for like, two years. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
