I've created a #fedora-kernel channel on freenode in response to the large number of /msg's I continue to get which really should be going to a wider audience. I expect it to be low-traffic, but it may be a worthwhile experiment to see if it helps any for triage, coordination etc. Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list

I'm getting to the point now where bugs aren't so old any more therefore people remember why they filed, can still replicate the bug so the process rate is slowing somewhat. When you say /msg do you mean people in IRC or bugzilla emails about bug status changes. Is it worth setting up a bugzilla monitor to show status changes to kernel bugs? Also, is it worth setting mailman to change the reply-to address so it goes to the list rather than the poster a-la -devel and -test?

There's always #fedorabot (though that shows bug changes to all packages). Perhaps we could get whoever controls it to join #fedora-kernel too if it can be trained to only talk about kernel bugs, though I'm not sure if it'll be annoying or not.

I try to stay out of that argument as much as possible, as it seems have vocal proponents/opponents on both sides, and tbh, I don't think there's a way that'll please everyone.

Fedora 6/7 kernel update plans
Fedora 6: leave on 2.6.22 until end-of-life There are so many workarounds and backwards-compatibility issues in there that it just doesn't seem worthwhile to upgrade. Fedora 7: update to 2.6.23 after Fedora 8 is released May as well update, the issues aren't nearly so great and users will probably want the latest kernel. ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list

Sounds right to me. And if it makes anyone feel any better, I've been running a rawhide ppc64 kernel on F7 base for a while now with no issues. josh ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list

Just wondering: Why wait for F8? Seems 2.6.23 is 1-10 days away. So it we quickly ship it in updates-testing (and updates proper maybe a week or two after if not to many bugs show up there) for F7 we might hit and fix some more kernel bugs in F7-testing/F7 and get those fixes into the F8 kernel as well, which results in a better kernel for both F7 and F8.

Yay, more channels on $%@&! Freenode. Which one shall I quit in order to join the new one, I wonder... :) > > Also, is it worth setting mailman to change the reply-to address so it goes > > to the list rather than the poster a-la -devel and -test? http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html > I try to stay out of that argument as much as possible, as it seems > have vocal proponents/opponents on both sides, and tbh, I don't think > there's a way that'll please everyone. Indeed. And the failure more one way round is much worse than the failure mode the other way round. Maybe we should start shipping a decent mail client with a proper 'reply to all' button? :) -- dwmw2 ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
