In some cases they're just perfect for organized experimentation.

But there's another path: use mercurial to create a clone of http://bitbucket.org/rminnich/sysfromiso you can call it 9atom. You can put your changes there. Then you can use the mercurial tools to continually refresh your 9atom tree from sysfromiso. In that way, you can provide a 9atom tree that is perfectly in sync with sources, and it is easy for others to see what you have done. And, most importantly, the maintainers of the main tree can easily see what they need to see, and figure out what ought to come back to the mainline, and pull back things that make sense to pull back. There is real precedent nowadays for people to maintain forks of a kernel tree, where they can experiment, and do so in a way that makes merges back to the mainline easy. ron

If this is true you must be quite a few steps ahead of us all.

The more interesting question is: who doesn't agree, and why? On 5/4/10, Pavel Klinkovsky wrote: >> maybe it is time to try to pack-port some of Erik's stuff to the canonical >> source. > I fully agree. > > Pavel > >
