Stop speculating, I'm one developing kernel for maemo devices and I use recent kernel on my devices, for developing/debugging/testing purposes.

May be it could be done in a separate tree, but it would help people working with exotic hardware to propagade linux. And that's called stable tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git;a=summary http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git;a=summary http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git;a=summary > I think we as comunity should support each other, as the most people here do. The problem was with the neglecting statement that something is old afer beeing few months old, so I was thinking may be Felipe and Greg are buying a new house because they don't like the sink in their present one ;-) This analogy was really bad and you know that, I suppose. Did you see greg's talk about the kernel development process ? Really, do it. -- balbi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
