anything happening with kbuild 2.5?

[Chris Friesen]

I'm just wondering if anything is happening with kbuild 2.5, since I think it
makes sense to put it in.

There seem to be a number of fairly well known developers in favour of it
(Robert Love, Richard Gooch, Mike Fedyk, Paul Mackerras, Alan Cox, Andrea
Arcangeli, Dave Jones, for a few), and I don't see any major objections to it in
the archives.

According to my googling, the only comment Linus has had on the topic since
January is this (the typos are his):

"I'm hoping we can get there in small steps, rather than a big traumatic
merge. I'd love to just try to merge it piecemeal.

Especially as I don't find the existign system so broken."


Keith--any way you can send it in piecemeal like he wants?

Chris

Yes it's happening.
I just almost completed integrating it into my next hope-so-release
(2.4.19-pre8-ac5-s1)

What is amazing - that it builds. Yeah.

*sigh* "If silly Stingray did it, powerful Linus of course able to do it !"

(If all things were so simple ...)
