mdc> I agree that we should be pushing toward 5.2 and testing and fixing issues. mdc> I'd really enjoy demoing a stable and flexible 5.2 (with UNDI support ;) mdc> at LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco in August. I agree, 5.1 seems pretty stable and we need to move forward. mdc> Now, for 5.3, I want to propose that we consider adopting a coding style and mdc> doing some major code reformatting to make it easier for people to hack. mdc> I know from working on drivers that there is a lot of variability in coding mdc> style that makes it somewhat difficult to edit files. Anybody else feel this way? I support this also. Eric's reformatted 5.1 makes adding a driver to the source tree dead simple compared to 5.0 but the adoption of a coding style and reformatting/fixing the code would be great. I know some of the inconsistencies have slowed me down in the past. mdc> Now of course this means we have to buckle down and get 5.2 out, but, mdc> hey, that might even be fun. Ken's away for mdc> three weeks and if mdc> we could test 5.1.8 and squash a few bugs, we could release in June perhaps. That should be doable and works nicely because I don't want to spend much of the summer in my basement! Tim |
