Proprio oggi sono andato sul sito ufficiale (http://members.optushome.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/) di CK per vedere se era uscita una nuova patch e trovo scritto:
2.6.22-ck1 will be the last -ck ever
Quindi sembra che la patch ck per l kernel 2.6.22 sarà l'ultima.
Yes it's true, -ck is over after the next stable release. I was going to
announce this with the actual release, but many have become aware of this
already from other sources (like IRC). So I'll explain in more depth now and
leave a quick announcement for the release.
There are many reasons for this, but two major ones that most of you will have
deduced by now:
1. If whatever performance advantage it has is all but abolished compared to
mainline then there is no point maintaining alternate patches to achieve the
same endpoint.
2. All interest I have in kernel development, even out of the mainline
spotlight, has been... abolished (I had nastier words but decided not to use
them.)
It is clear that I cannot develop code for the linux kernel intended only to
be used out of mainline and not have mainline get involved somewhere along
the line. Whether it be the users or even other developers repeatedly
asking "when will this be merged". This forever gets me into a cycle of
actually trying to merge the stuff and ... well you all know what happens at
that point (again I had nastier words but decided not to use them.)
So, I've had enough. I'm out of here forever. I want to leave before I get so
disgruntled that I end up using windows. I may play occasionally with
userspace code but for me the kernel is a black hole that I don't want to
enter the event horizon of again.
I thank you all deeply for your involvement, patronage, support, bug reports
and feedback. I also apologise because I realise what the -ck patchset means
to a lot of people.
La comunità linux perde uno dei suoi più brillanti esponenti :(
