Bug#902946: [systemd/systemd] Fails to load autofs module through autofs4 alias (#9501)

2018-07-04 Thread Linus Torvalds
Trying to send test-patch to the Debian bug tracker too.. I suspect
this will be rejected as spam, but I can try.

Bug#815787: May be a kernel problem not a pulseaudio one?

Yeah, but do you actually need or use ZONE_DEVICE?

Even DAX doesn't actually need it except for some special cases, iirc.

I don't think distributions should necessarily enable it at all yet.

Yes, but that's 4.6 of later. And unlikely to be marked for back porting to
stable.

So *eventually* we'll support that combination, but for now...

If I read this right, this seems to be a Debian kernel configuration
choice rather than anything else.

Does it work if you just compile your own kernel?

Bug#789875: subsurface: FTBFS in experimental

2015-08-26 Thread Linus Torvalds

Ehh. That's what subsurface has done since day#1 - even back when I
maintained it (long long ago), I refused to link against a dynamic
libdivecomputer, because the libdivecomputer versioning is broken, and
it's stupid to do dynamic linking for something that isn't shared
anyway.

The Debian people were crazy, and said "that's against our rules", and
wanted a separate libdivecomputer library.

These days, subsurface does its own libgit2 and libmarble due to
similar issues. No, not using git submodules, but in the build
scripts. And again, who complains?

So quite frankly, the fact that Debian people now attack Dirk, who has
been bending over backwards over these kinds of stupidities, is not a
big surprise. I think it's in the Debian DNA to care more about rules
than about technical sanity. The whole "this is the only right way to
do licensing" thing extends to "this is the only correct waty to do
packaging".

It's sad to see.

Hmm. Doesn't this need commit 2060c44576c79086ff24718878d7edaa7384a985
to fix things up for crazy access_bit_width values?

Maybe it's there in the series somewhere, but I didn't see it.
