Suspend2 is getting a new name.

Suspend2 is getting a new name.

Hi all.

Suspend2's name is changing to "TuxOnIce".

This is for a couple of reasons:

In recent discussions on LKML, the point was made that the word "Suspend" is 
confusing. It is used to refer to both suspending to disk and suspending to 
ram. Life will be simpler if we more clearly differentiate the two.

The name Suspend2 came about a couple of years ago when we made the 2.0 
release and started self-hosting. If we ever get to a 3.0 release, the name 
could become even more confusing! (And there are already problems with people 
confusing the name with swsusp and talking about uswsusp as version 3!).

http://www.suspend2.net is still working at the moment, but we'll shift to 
http://www.tuxonice.net over the next while. The wiki and bugzilla are 
already done; email will remain on suspend2.net for a little while and git 
trees will be renamed at the time of the next stable release.

Regards,

Nigel

This one is our existing logo. I believe Bernard made it with Blender. Guess 
someone has appropriated it :\

Cute pictures.

Hmm, FunkyMixedCase name ...

<tongue-firmly-in-cheek>
... hope this'll make it work on my laptop too :-)

[ Is there a prize for posting waaay off-topic messages? ]

BTW, TuxOnIce is a better choice for name than some variation of
"Hibernate", from a biological perspective too -- as everybody already
knows, penguins never quite hibernate, but spend the entire rough
Antarctic winter bunched up in a group on the surface (ice) itself ...

Ugh, can I use it as an excuse for broken hibernation?

Linus is responsible when he used the penguin logo! Penguins just do
not hibernate! :-).

...OTOH penguins do sleep, so I guess I should be working hard on
fixing that :-).

Just my 2 (euro)cents.

Yes, you are the only person. "Hibernate" is the concept. The separate
implementations also need names.

TuxOnIce sounds like a "game" :-)
But I don't see any problem with this.

Ah, OK. I was beginning to think that something (more than usual) was
wrong with me.  Maybe one day someone at alsa-project will decide that
my sound card driver's name will change from snd_intel8x0 to
"TheEmperorsCry" ;-)

  I like the frozen name - but similar to you, if the name suspendX and 
hibernate are confusing in not distinguishing ram from disk perhaps one could 
do something obvious like:
     
        hibernate_2_ram
        hibernate_2_disk

 or something shorter ... perhaps involving Ice and twist ?? ;-)

I guess this is "good news, bad news" time. The good news is that the 
"suspend with working resume" project is still active, the bad news is 
that making provisions for long term out of mainline operation sounds as 
if you have no hope of getting this code into the mainline kernel. :-(

Let's not turn this into a flamewar, please. This is just a name change, 
nothing more.

As far as I know, the desire on Rafael's part and mine is still to get at 
least some of the functionality merged. The only reason this isn't happening 
yet is that we're both busy with other aspects of the work. Rafael is 
focussing on infrastructure issues, I'm focussing on minimising the diff and 
finishing off cleaning up and adding comments to functions.

Regards,

Nigel

That's correct, thanks for saying this!

My first target is to introduce a framework allowing drivers to have different
callbacks for hibernation and suspend.   Unfortunately, that turned out to
require quite a lot of work - and time - to do.

Rafael
