Linux 2.5

Linux 2.5

[Thiago Vinhas de Moraes]

Hello all!

I just would like to know what's missing to the start of the development of 
the kernel 2.5, and the mantaince of the 2.4 to go to Alan Cox ?

I'm asking this because I see a very good stability of the 2.4 tree, and the 
need of the start of the development of 2.5.

Currently, 2.4 is just getting small fixes, that could be easily managed by 
Alan.

Does Linus have any schedule to pass the control of 2.4 management to someone 
else, and start developing the great 2.5 kernel?


Regards,
Thiago Vinhas

On the 21th of June Linus said this in a message to linux-kernel:

"2.5.x looks like it will open in a week or two, so we're not talking about
long timeframes".

So he probably has plans to start 2.5.x soon (my personal guess is that
he'll do it at the same time as 2.4.8 is released, but that's just me:-)
