?? Speak for yourself! :-) And why the impatience anyway? It seems some
folks around here think the l-l-h version needs to match the current
kernel release version. This is simply not true! Yes, naturally there is
some correlation between the two, and it certainly would give us all a
warm and fuzzy feeling if we had a new release. But there is no real
urgency..... at least not just yet :-)
Greg, numerous people have tried to contact him without response. So to
me that's reality that nothing
is going to happen. We even have him on record saying when 2.6.15 comes
out, the llh headers would be
out in 3 - 5 days after.
And I fail to see how you can make a connection between fixincludes and
sanitized kernel headers. The goals of each project are so very far apart.
Maybe if you showed us some example working code (ie: a prototype) of
Autogen producing a sanitized kernel header, we might be able to better
understand your proposal.
If you understand what fixincludes does you can see how the principles
could be used to create
sanitized headers. If modifies the existing headers to what the gcc
folks think is right.
Most definitely not! Quite frankly, IMHO nobody around here has ever
demonstrated the required knowledge of kernel/userland interaction and
required level of programming expertise to pull off this feat. I'm not
saying it cannot be done. I just don't think it's a wise thing for
"amateurs" to be undertaking (Yes, I consider myself an amateur :-)
Excuse me, I think we have several devs with the knowledge including
myself. Plus I heavily looks into this issue I know what needs to be
changed on why, if you would like a technical discussion, I can give you
examples. But that's not what this thread is about, it's about what we
should do and not for us to argue with each other. So please don't cause
a scene like you normally do and lets have a discussion about the issue
and not about people technical abilities..
Yes. In the meantime, maybe patch current version if deemed necessary (ie:
we discover a missing feature we cannot live without).
This is a possibility
