Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:10:03 -0500 From: "Stoyan Gaydarov" <stoyboyker@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: torvalds@...ux-foundation.org, "Alan Cox" <alan@...rguk.ukuu.org.uk>, gorcunov@...il.com, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, mingo@...e.hu Subject: From 2.4 to 2.6 to 2.7? First things first, I would like to know what prompted the change from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels. I know that the change had to do with the development version, the 2.5 tree and the massive amounts of patches distros had to carry. Aside from this i think it was also the scheduler changes that prompted the 2.6 version, but I don't know all that much about it and any other comments about the change would be great. Second I wanted to talk about the linux 2.7.x kernel, whats in the making or maybe even not started, that could prompt a change to a 2.7 version kernel, i know that a lot of good changes are going into the kernel as part of the rcX kernels in the 2.6 version. Would we continue to see 2.6 kernels until some big problem shows its head and we all go "oh sh**" and then change something so massive that it prompts the change or are we going to continue with the 2.6 tree. I just want to get some information and peoples opinions on this, just to see where things are headed. -Stoyan G -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
