Not a strong argument for mainline, but I have a patch to make <hostname> larger (up to 255 bytes, per POSIX). http://www.xenotime.net/linux/patches/hostname-2617-rc5b.patch I can either update my hostname patch against mm/utsname.. or not. But I don't really want to see some/any patch blocked due to a patch in -mm being borderline "pointful," so how do we deal with this? > I don't want to carry an ever-growing stream of OS-virtualisation > groundwork patches for ever and ever so if we're going to do this thing... > faster, please. --- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
